    you should be able to get the alternator for less than $150.00 O'reilly's
    has them ranging in price from $85-$140.

    When I needed mine replaced I was not able to do the work myself, but was
    able to save some money by buying the part myself and taking it to the shop
    to have installed. By doing it that way I avoided the markup on the
    alternator that I would have been charged.

    Mark.

    If you are of a mind to rebuild your own or just need data, look at
    http://www.wai-wetherill.com/products/ymm.cfm

    WAI has parts for the professional rebuilders

    Often you can buy a higher output unit that doesn't have to work as hard as
    the OEM unit and will last longer too.

    A lot of shops won't do that since they have no control over the part
    quality. And then, if they do the job anyway, they won't warranty the
    repair if the part fails. I do my own repairs, but if I was paying
    someone else to do it, I'd have them source the part to make sure they
    warrantied the labor AND the part if something went wrong down the line.

    Cheers,
