So stock alternator went out about a week ago with 135k on it. I knew it was going out for a while but haven't wanted to spend the money to replace it since well winter came. Should I upgrade to a higher output one or get an oem replacement? Car electronic wise is stock other than a built in tablet and 1000watt amp.
I put in a PA Performance alternator, 130 amp, in my 2006 GT about 6 mos. ago. Got it from American Muscle. Everybody raves about these alternators. So far, it seems to be doing a great job.
Thanks for the input. I wasn't actually going to buy from Ford. I'm moreorless debating on upgrading to the 200amp vs. the 135amp. Is the cost worth it?

Thanks for the shout Golden,
I'm sure we can get OP happy and his Mustang kicking again!
Thanks for the thought about the chrome. not a huge fan of "flash" like that is. I will take a look at other but if possible I like to buy local even if it is part of a larger company.
135,000 miles on your stock alternator? I'd say it's a pretty solid part. Why do you want to change to an aftermarket one when the stock one lasted for so long?
