[QUOTE="W0n70n, post: 1654434, member: 44703"] I always try to jump on alternator threads and share what happened to me, I had an OEM alternator lose the nut that holds on the pulley and it caused the main shaft to get wrecked and eat the bearings in the process so I had to go find a new one. The first replacement I tried was an auto parts store w/e brand that after install worked for a few minutes and would cause constant charging issues from the voltage regulator and control circuit not working properly, took that one back and exchanged for a new one, same problem, did a bunch of research and found out that generic auto parts store alternators don't play well with the Ford PCM. I eventually found a great deal on a Mechman High Output alternator and the second I got it installed it immediately fixed all of my issues. When you go to replace anything always go OEM or reputable aftermarket, if you rebuild make sure the regulator and rectifier is OEM or better. [/QUOTE]
