[QUOTE="Phil V, post: 1036096, member: 70859"] Well, after 14 years and 323000 kms I had to finally replace the alternator. I have an ultragauge that I use all the time. I noticed with headlights and heat on the battery voltage would frequently drop to 12v. It should be running at 14v especially with such a light load on the alternator. In the last two weeks I replaced the battery under warranty after 2 years because it was drained. So I already knew this was coming I checked out napa first. They wanted $320 CAD after tax for a remanufactured and $560 for a new one. I wanted a new one because I read they don't always replace the rectifier on remans So naturally I checked out rockauto. They had quite a few options. For whatever reason the NEW acdelco alt came out to $220 shipped so I went with that. Install went easy and after a couple days of driving it stays 14v at idle with electrical load. Couldn't be happier with my purchase [/QUOTE]
