Thanks Tom! It was honestly the only alternator I felt good about. After Michael's experience with DC Power that made him ever so happy and warmed his heart, I figured if International recommended the L-N as an upgrade on the VT275, it was good enough for the VT365 below my hood.

After doing some research, I did find a company that sells rebuild kits. If I have further issues, going to order a rebuild kit and do the work myself. Then I know it is done correctly.
