Somebody Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F#$% man I just finished reinstalling a reman AC Delco on my car because the first one I installed was not charging... The one that just went out started off fine for about 15 mins of it's life. I stared the car after installed charged fine right in the middle of the gauge (13 volts). Then I took a test drive hit about 6000 rpms before shifting and then everything went down and check gauges light came out. What the hell do I have a short somewhere, is this typical of a short or are reman alternators ****????? Can anyone please give me some ideas because taking off the d-1 for a f$#@ alternator change sucks *** and is getting old.. Sorry for the language just frustrated.... 
Yea, I just ordered a heavy duty Ac Delco which I didn't know excisted. I will be installing in on Tuesday and will take the car to the dealership so they can find out whats wrong with it...

I hear you on the install Tirefire. Pulling the D-1 to get to the alternator is not a fun job. My factory alternator went at 145,000 mi. I purchased a remanufactured one and it lasted 3,000 mi. I just put in the second remanufactured one tonight as I got mine replaced for free (1st remanufactured one was still under warranty). If this one dies shortly, I am going to invest in a new unit and hope for another 145,000 mi. If you can let me know if you find out any good advice as to why your car is killing the alternator, I would be interested.

I'll let you know 98redformula, but I'm thinking it's just the alternators I've been getting. I went through four that's right four Autozone alternators before I finally got a good one and that lasted me up until now. The only reason I replaced that one was because I was seeing power loss around 6000 rpms and it was affecting my fuel pressure. So far I've replaced two Ac Delco remans since my d-1 went on and I hope I won't have to change out this heavy duty one, but I'll keep you posted..

On a rebuild they only fix the broken parts, if the module tests ok.......probably brakes up under high rpms or heat?
If we actually knew what was wrong you could change the part to new on a rebuilt unit and get more miles out of it. (or buy new)
