Thanks alot man I really need that good advice. I found a rebuilt alternator for 75 after a rebate. With a 1 year warranty. Rock auto has my particular alternator rebuilt for the same price as a brand new one from O'Reilly auto zone and advance auto.. TThis is the first forum I have ever been able to join for free and its the most helpful
