That would be called hearsay...
The company is willing to back up there products if an item failed they would be willing to help you out as long as you had it installed right, with the directions they gave you.

A quick search of the forum will reveal more than a few disturbing cases, sir.

Installing an alternator properly is not difficult by any means.
Disconnect your battery, disconnect the leads from the alternator and the harness, Unbolt it. And it is out. If you upgrade to a high output alternator you may need to change to some 1/0 wire under the hood.. but thats all there really is to it.

depends on the alternator's location... in quite a few mini-vans the alternator is almost inaccessible without lifting the vehicle. Some are located towards the rear of the engine or underneath it in ways that make them very hard to mess with. I've seen alternators where it appears that you'd almost have to drop the engine out (as the hood opening would be too small to lift it) to mess with 'em.

In my car the alternator pulley is part of the belt tensioning system, so it would be important to make sure that the new alternator hasn't altered the belt deflection much, if at all... oh yeah, i have to pull the power steering pump out too lol...

I have had my custom EA HO alternator in for a couple of months now with no problems. Nate was a great guy to deal with and my alternator appears to be high quality. With that said though, I have heard of some peeps getting like 3 bad alternators from him.

I have never heard anything but good about Ohio Gen, but don't expect them to be any cheaper then Iraggi.

i looked at http://www.motorcityreman.com (ebay name as well) and they sell "remanufactured" ho alts as i found out. they were pretty cheap for me but i still have yet to get one as i may be getting a new vehicle.

they might have had a bad batch... most of the stuff i remember is from around 6 or so months back... plus there was the whole iceteebone debacle...

yeah i've noticed that... nobody ever says anything bad about them...
