They have good feedback. After consulting with my electronics-technician father, and doing a fair amount of research, I've concluded that I indeed need a new alternator. Being an old-time audio and big-forward-lighting guy, i always look for an opportunity to upgrade an alternator (my 02 had a 100amp GM one until i dropped it on the pulley and had to do a cheapie replacement w/65amp GM).
This $120 one (inc. shipping) is 130amp, which is a good 40% higher capacity than stock 90amp one. I can get a used stock one for about $50. Stock bosch rebuilds are $150 from autohausaz.com, plus $75 core, which has to be hassled with.
Based on their feedback, im leaning towards this ebay deal. any thoughts? :)
