The dealer told me over the phone that "they're real proud of that thing", and right then I knew he meant it was super expensive. I was quoted about the same for the alternator as what Frank was told. I don't believe mine would be under the original warranty (it's a '99), and we'll see if they'll take the extended warranty I have from the used car folks I got it from.
Aren't most alternators pretty much the same? Some parts website I found referenced in the archives here last night appeared to be selling alternators from a Trooper model as a VehiCross replacement part. Gotta be a way to cut the cost here. I believe someone in the archived posts posted about fixing his for $125. (just labor under warranty?)
I agree about the clay versus water.
