    Go OEM or rebuilt over those replacements like DENKI. They only last as long as the average Motolite batt. I've had 2 of those copies quit on me barely a year in. No fluke, pure crap.Where to buy brand new replacement alternators?

    I haven't tried any & won't risk to, anymore. I'd opt rebuilds over reps. Having been burnt more than once by the same thing left me indelible scars.Where to buy brand new replacement alternators?

    Most repair shops have Taiwan-made brand-new replacement. They do last as per my experience. After replacement, have the old one repaired for backup/spare. Most of the times its the brush that wears out or a busted regulator and rectifier. Bearings are cheap, and New era IC/Regulator are also cheap.
