Any alternators to avoid?
Got an 07 FX2 in need of an alt. I just helped a friend put an oreilly alternator on their minivan, replacing one only a couple months old because the plug harness crumbled, so I'm not keen on using theirs. Any opinions on:
AC Delco
Remy
Bosch
TCY
New vs Reman?
any other brands you can think of, i'm looking more for what to avoid as opposed to what to get.

IIRC there was a member on here a few months back that was looking for a new Motorcraft alternator and couldn't find one. I believe he said they don't make them new anymore, they're all remans now.

Re-man Motorcraft... we have a very picky truck when it comes to the voltage regulator.
second choice would be Bosch.

Seems like I got lucky. I replaced mine with a Carquest reman about three years ago. That was before I knew that these trucks only like Motorcraft. But I haven't had any problems with it.
