[QUOTE="mosconiac, post: 2693659, member: 4013"] I can't believe the aftermarket hasn't stepped up with a bevy of alternatives. You have three choices: Ford (expensive remanufactured unit), PA Performance (very expensive unit), or a local rebuild shop (much cheaper). I'm on my third unit at 45,000 miles. The first was OEM and lasted about 41,000 miles. The second was a Ford reman and it lasted less than 1,000 miles. The third is a warrantee replacement for #2 and has held up for 4,000+ miles. If this one fails, I'm going to have it rebuilt by a local winding shop. I'm not surprised by the windfall of failed alternators. Take a look at where Ford placed it...under the motor next to a header. Nice placement for a device that already is stuffed to the brim and can't possibly move enough air thru the case to keep it cool. [/QUOTE]
