I'm about to roll over 60K I'm still on the stocker, no problems.

My 2001 Z28 lasted about 45K on the stock alternator.

I got to about 52K before I replaced it. It was already acting up when I got the car with 42K miles on it.

I think mine was stock when I got the car, had 87k on it. Now it's got 127k and I think it's done (as of today). I'm going to have it checked out tomorrow.
