    Alternator brands

    I need to replace my alternator as the internal regulator is letting it overvolt. What do you think of duralast? Would I be shooting myself in the foot to get a duralast alternator?

    it says llt, which I'm assuming means limited lifetime warranty.

    I agree with turabaka if your gonna replace the stock alternator you might as well go with a high output one, you never know when you'll need extra juice..
