first and foremost DO NOT EVER BUY HARD PARTS FROM AUTOZONE.
I have heard and seen horror stories of 4 5 even 6 alternators being bad in a row.. they are JUNK!!

Either take the factory alternator and have it rebuilt by a qualified or reputable rebuilder, or buy a new ford alternator, or goto a junk yard and get a factory one. Its much easier and cheaper to get a quality alternator than to put on 5 bad autozone/advanced/oreilys alternators..

They sell mortuary parts.. they are in it to make money, and you will help them alot if you buy their parts. They do not care if they are bad, and oh! they have a warranty but its your blood sweat and time to do it, verses buying the real deal and doing it right.. belive me I am a used car dealer that takes care of his customers, I learned the expensive way..

I buy only their batteries, wipers, other misc unimportant parts, and fluids.

Sure the parts say "meet or exceeds factory specs" but.. do they exceed factory specs negatively? hehe..
