High output Alternator options ? MECHMAN vs Others

Have had a MECHMAN 240 Amp alternator on my 2008 F-350 5.4 since 2016. I only use the truck for landscaping and plowing. This winter I started getting a light flicking issue.
Called mechman and they said it needs a rebuild most likely. Waited for snow to slow down and popped off and sent it in. Heard from them today and they said this unit is discontinued and they can’t rebuild it. They also said they don’t even offer one for my truck any longer.
Still waiting to hear if they can rebuild which they said they will know more Monday if they can even get parts.

Planning for the worse Any other companies out there that are good making high output units ?. I liked Mechman because they were made in USA.

Anyone ever use JS Alternators ? Seems like a legit company made in USA.

Thanks
Matt
