Default Anyone have an alternator for sale?

Hi everyone, my alternator is starting to go out on my 2000 T/A. Car still drives, but the gauge is at around 9 amps. The battery is brand new, so I figure it's the alternator since I seem to always have bad luck with alternators on my LS1's. Heck, I went through 3 of them on my old 98 Z28...all within 55,000 miles.

Does anyone have a working alternator that they are willing to sell? I'm in no rush since it isn't my DD, but I'd like to be able to drive the car around since it eats less gas than my Suburban.

Just buy one from autozone, they come with lifetime warranty. It pays off in the long run.

i work at Autozone..we make sure its made by us they have numbers stamped on. and if they dont they need to be identical to the ones we switch it with. which are different than original or
a different make.

buy one should be under 140 with lifetime warranty. im guessing 80ish tho

I checked online for prices and the only one that shows up on the Autozone website is for $159. Since you work there, is there any way you could possibly get me a better deal? It's just an unneccessary expense that I don't need right now.
