The reman alts from auto parts stores don't tend to last very long. Try to get the OEM. Short of that, go for the BOSCH. Try pepboys or NAPA for BOSCH. Call st charles isuzu for OEM (800-727-8066), 15% off list and free ship.

im gonna get my alt from napa... turns out i have a 70 amp the price wasnt too bad... $108 3 year warranty.. $80 for a shop to rebuild mine 90 day warranty... if it was the 90 amp it was $244 .... ebay has 165 amp alts for heavy applications... seems the rear window defogger made the difference on which one you have.. thanks
