Another vote for J2fab. Have one of 200a units with the wire upgrade on mine for the past 3 years. Works fantastic.
The total miles are 21k, that's a bad alternator every 5k about!!
How many miles on all of these alternators? The amount of time on the car doesn't really mean much because if the car is rarely driven, the alternator isn't seeing much use.
I bought my car from the 3rd owner - I have no idea if the alt that failed in it was the original one - it was a Ford piece and the car had around 66K miles on it when it finally gave up the ghost (but it had been warning with a battery light for a while).

Same area I have mine mounted. Did you do the wire upgrade?I have roughly 12k miles on my Nation's. It works just as good as day one. The external regulator is a nice feature. Mine is mounted up by the front bumper away from most of the heat.
Brady, yes on the wire upgrade. Actually got the front bumper location from your thread.Same area I have mine mounted. Did you do the wire upgrade?

Whats everybody using these days?
The oem lasted me 2 years after my built motor was done back in 2007. I then got the PA Performance 130 Amp Alternator from lethal, it lasted 4 years. I then got an autozone one and it lasted 2 years and my last one was a rebuilt oem. its about 3 years old. She started running bad last night, shaking at idle, put max load on it and volts were at 11.43 time for a new one. I checked and n warranty's them because they all know there going to brake, I guess.

Any better options out there that will last?
And yes I am running the 4 pound lower with the different alternator pulley to not make it spin to fast.
Has anyone seen a documented Nations alternator that has failed?
Pretty much everyone people have mentioned in this thread I have heard of a failure.

Me either. I've had mine on for a couple years. Not a lot of miles on mine though.Actually i have not. Not saying its never happened but they seem to last. Just follow the instructions and make sure to do the wire upgrade.
