dang if you got that many miles out of your original why are guys having issues with theirs? Unless the original will actually last a long time and the one's guys have been getting are the reman'd ones that won't last?This is a very good point. Folks who recommend alternators that "are working great" should also mention how many miles they have on them so far.
I always recommend stock, as long as the lower pulley is stock.
When I have to pull mine off, I'll know exactly how many miles it lasted because I'm the original owner. So far, it has 126k.
