Hey guys,
Any recommendations for an alternator? I was told reman's have lost quality over the years, but I don't see new ones in stock in the big box stores.
I'm most interested in longevity... but would a high amperage version last longer since in theory it would be operating below capacity it's whole life: 250A High Output Alternator for Dodge Ram 3500, 1999 - 2000 5.9L V8 (360c.i.) - 13823-250-HD1-13 (powerbastards.com)
Thanks,
Matt

I don’t need 240 amps and you’re right that I could buy multiple cheaper ones.
I want the most reliable one. Oversizing sometimes leads to higher reliability.
Right now I’m dabbling in human factors engineering. My wife and I had different visions for the van. She wants it hands down reliable and is losing confidence in it. I want to change the alternator and never worry about it again. I’m considering one of the powder coated ones from Summit just because they “look” higher quality. Lol.
