After the first one was defective...
I was an hour and a half away from home. When the alternator went out. I purchased one alternator from the store. Spent three hours installing it. Only to find out that it was defective. I had to purchase a new battery as well. The store did not have another alternator so I had to drive 30 minutes down to another store on just battery power. The new battery at that, got down to the other store spent another 2 1/2 hours installing the replacement one. I am thankful the new battery did not get damaged. It's a 50-50 gamble. My suggestion is to have the alternator tested before leaving the store.

POOR QUALITY
Alternator worked great for about 2 months. Replaced that with another, which also worked for 2 months. Stick with AC Delco. I won't buy another Alternator from Advance Auto. The lifetime warranty is great, but if I have to spend 2 hours installing a new alternator every 2 months... it isn't worth it.
