Replacing 100A alternator this week 2009

OEM or remanufactured? This truck will be mostly leisure with a few weekend project runs. Have AutoZ and O'Reilly near. Easy core charge back with local as opposed to EBAY, online. Just purchased from family member. Any thoughts on mileage expected? I love this truck already. Automatic 2 wheel drive, V-6

 

my preference is going to be oem if possible.

my dad went with an remanufactured autozone in his older ranger quite a while back. i don't know if they still do it, but it had a lifetime warranty. we ended up replacing it almost every 1-1.5 years for 5 years running. it didn't cost anything more for the parts due to the warranty, but was a major time-suck.

 

I appreciate that. Probably $100 difference but if you are in the engine bay each year with the repeat task, I'd opt for not having to do that. Thanks for the confirmation.

 

Welcome to TW..I would only go OEM..unless you wanna change it every 6 months
