What is the best plan with alternator replacement / rebuild for one of our cars? Have narrowed my parasitic drain down to alternator diodes. So, I am debating whether to replace or have the original rebuilt. I wouldn't want ANY old electrical parts left in it, so wondering if I should shelve it and put a whole new one in. Anyone have experience replacing/rebuilding alternator here? FVD has a nice looking new Bosch unit (although it's $1200!).

I have a rebuilt alternator. No issues after 4 years and it cost $250 including core exchange.

Did you buy a rebuilt from one of the regular sources? Or have it done locally?

Should be the same part.

Got from Pelicanparts, then I found out I could have got it locally for 1/2 price.
Didn't make that mistake again when I needed a starter
