I need a new alternator My alternator finally died on me (127,000 miles), so I need a new one. Where is a good place to buy one online, either OEM rating, or high output. I've already checked out Advance, Autozone and Napa, and they all want $200 for an oem rated alternator. I saw a 200amp alternator online for $200 a couple days ago, but now I can't find it. Help please.

The rebuilds from the local chains seem to really suck, in my experiance. I get rebuilt units directly from GM now, they seem to work great for many years/10 of thousands of miles.
Just bought a re-manufactured alternator from O Reilly for $ 176 and will take back old one for core refund $ 45 ! So for about $ 130 you get alternator and a lifetime warranty ! Hard to beat if you want OE replacement !
