This Last shop said they was going to install a Known good alt they NEVER DID
Carl when you get a Recommend from the guys here where to get a Part it would be the best to use it because we all watch over time and know what Manufactures are producing Quality Parts
As you can see this Alternator from your work thru us thru a Loop LOL but we past that now so Moving FOrward

It seems that MOST of the big chain auto parts stores are
using a computerized test station and have no control over
the test other than start or emergency stop. The reason is
that they don't want to pay to train someone how to test things
because that person won't hang around at the **** poor wages
that most places pay.
