Lifetime Warranty Remans and Walmart Batteries!!!!!!
I just went through 4 alternators on my XR7 in 4+ years and 2 alternators on my SC in 2+ years. Fortunately they all had lifetime warranties. My XR7 had other issues. The alternator charging wire that connects to the starter relay had melted the black sealer at the crimp junction causing a high resistance connection. I replaced the lug and all is well. On my SC, since I have a rough idle probelm I cannot seem to fix, I have had to put the factory pullies back on. My low voltage radar detector alarm kept going off and I believe that constant low voltage at idle with a high load on the alternator lead to the death of the last alternator.
I have Walmart MAXX batteries in everything. Cars, trucks, farm equipment and boats. For $60 and a free 3 year replacement, you can't beat them. I have about 15 Walmart batteries in use and have only returned 1. Also, Walmarts are everywhere so replacement is not a problem.
Just my 2 cents worth!
