there appears to be a little resistor on the back of my alternator. Should it travel to the new alternator? It's hooked to the second B terminal.

maybe so- you think maybe placed by an audio installer? At first i thought it looked like a small capacitor but had no idea why.

question solved.
"Anyway, the capacitor you're looking at is commonly referred to as a condenser when used the way it is in this case. It basically just suppresses RF interference that can be caused by the alternator which could otherwise manifest as a buzzing in the radio or in extreme cases booger up other electronics in the vehicle. Their physical size shouldn't make any difference. As long as the capacitance is equal, which it should be, it'll be just fine."
