bad luck

Dammit...

Sorry, I just need to vent a little.

I bought the 150a alternator from one of the car-parts.com dealers, got it installed and everything was great. Not for long though. Shortly after my voltage started spiking at 16+ volts and dropping down to 12 volts. So I figure I got one with a bad regulator. No big deal - lifetime warranty from the seller. However the only one they have has 140000 miles.

I ordered a replacement from somewhere else in the meantime with 40k miles on it. It arrived today with a cracked plastic case with some jumbled insides - the result of UPS and poor packaging.

I want the 150a in my truck but I'm getting a little frustrated here.

Rant off....
