I just picked up a new alternator from Checker (Kragen / Schucks). And when I went to install it the flyer in the box said that due to a core shortage of the OE fj-62 alternator they have repalced the OE design with an internal fan, 120 amp version. This is the Beck Arnley p/n 1860449 that lists for $227 with an $85 core charge.

I'll report back with how well it works after I have a few miles on it.
