parts availability

Bumping this thread. I searched for an alternator. Most online sources say it is a 75 amp. Went into Napa and the guy says it is an 80 amp. Tried parts train (which thecarpartswholesale link reditrcts to) and they got vicious reviews. Tried isuzuparts which is renamed and their site shows the correct item for $865! I tried most places like autozone discount napa sites using Trooper as well as Vehicross. No luck. A local shop said they will rebuild mine for $150 plus parts if they can get them and I bring in my alt out of the car. That was a place that rebuilds alts and starters. Are we running out of parts sources? I am going to get under my V today and look the alt connections over. Everything else is bone stock. She has 150k miles and has no rust. I am not rrady to throw in the towel.

I got what I guess is a High Output Alternator to replace my OAM one. There was nothing wrong with my original, I just planned on more accessories and wanted the extra output. I ordered mine from eBay nearly two years ago and I can’t remember the exact seller, but here is a link to one that I think is the same as the one I orded.

Hope this helps.
