i had 2 bad rebuilts.
i also took my original alternator to get rebuilt.
The original has pressed in diodes whereas the rebuilts have loose diodes. The alternator repairmen told me that these are less heat tolerant than the pressed diodes, so you get a shorter life.
he recommends the pressed in diodes so i am having him rebuild the original alternator for me. it is expensive??? 400 bucks as the stator needs rewound also.
