Gents,
After 204K the original alternator is done. Checking Advanced Auto Parts, they offer the following net of core charge:

1) House brand (Worldwide): $25. (in stock)
2) AC Delco: $114
3) Beck/Arnley: $182
4) Autolite: $57

Alts. 2-4 not in stock. Item 1 & 2 offered with lifetime replacement warranty. 3 & 4 lifetime limited warranty (I think they prorate it like a battery) Is there any reason I shouldn't get no. 1??

I'll take the housebrand....reason???? i'm cheap!

do you enjoy changing the alternator?

sometimes if the house brand is cheap the rebuild is cheap also. it might die after a year....but hey you have the warranty to get a new one...but you'll end up constantly changing alternators.

if 2 comes with lifetime warranty i would take it....bigger name...i assume it would be built with better quality.

penny wise...dollar foolish.

but bottom line...it's your call man.

Get one with a lifetime warranty.

I got one from advance auto and then had to replace it about a year later.
I was glad i had that warranty....VE alternators are over $200!!!!
