I replaced my '98 alternator with a Bosch. Had to modify the mounting bracket quite a bit. May want to research a bit more if it's this one you are ooking at:

I have not tried either of those, but my NAPA rebuilt alternator has worked out just fine.

Junkyard you can find new alternators on some of the cars there and you'll pay $20 for it.

Yep. Lifetime guarantee too. I wouldn't bother with anything else.
