May i remind you that the problem is the alt that failed IS (or was) bigger than the factory 78A. I just think its crazy how the 78A never failed because that thing was stressed out just running the stock accessories! (Especially at night with the lights and fan on high).. and now this brand new 95A kicks the bucket at 3 months old. I guess thats what you get for a non-GM product. The guy i got it from specializes in electrical equipment, i even told him i had a big sound system so i'm just surprised he gave me this "premium quality alternator" and not something better.
