AC DELCO Alternator

If those are your only options you're gonna go with, Remy or ACDELCO. Keep in mind the ACDELCO is not made by ACDELCO and is just rebranded. But has a warranty and decent support.

Pros: warranty, decent support

AC DELCO Alternator

The issue you can run into is most common vehicle alternators are light duty at best. Lets say its a 100 amp alt, don't pull more than 40 amps continuous. A great example is the AC Delco 10si alternator. Loads of cheap knock offs and copies of that alternator all claiming crazy high amperage but none list the duty cycle. The 10si frame is designed for 40 amps of power and the heat that creates. You might be able to get a little more cooling with a better fan but you won't get 100+ amps out of one.

Cons: light duty, low continuous amperage, not for high power

Rating 2.0

Had an appetite for alternators, as they put it behind the rear cylinder head and tried to keep it cool with some little rubber/plastic air duct. Failboat. We sold the car with its third alternator, each failure attributed to failure of the rear bearings.

Cons: failure of rear bearings
Mileage: 140000 km
