GTO Alternator Bracket Compatibility Okay guys, need your help
I just reassembled my 2005 GTO after a year hiatus. WhIle the motor was out, I removed the wiring for the alternator (intending to ditch the PWM controlled voltage which plagued me with charge issues for years for a single wire or resistance based alternator).
I wasn't able to find an aftermarket voltage regulator for my factory alternat or, nor have I been able to find what other alternators are compatible with my rear alternator bracket. Does anyone know what other alternators may fit my factory brackets??? (CS130D, AD244 ETC)
Thanks in advance

Ended up ordering an alternator from a 2004 GTO from DBElectrical. According to my research, the casing is identical to 05/06 alternators, just the regulator is different in that it is not PWM controlled.
I'll be coupling the new alternator to a 470 ohm resistor to hopefully achieve my desired output. Will update this thread later. Really hoping it works and I'm able to drive my car this week!

I would REALLY like to know how this worked out. I have had alt problems for the past 6 months. Replaced 6. First one lasted 70,000 miles. The last 5 only last 3 to 4 wot runs and go bad. Chinese replacements. What kind did DB send to you?
