If you get an Alt from AutoZone - don't get the one year warranty reman
alts. Those don't last long. I have had customers return them only a
short time after they were installed and in a few cases - not long after
the warranty expired. Go with a Duralast lifetime warr alt... Both the
reman and the brand new Duralast Alts have lifetime warr.
