I definitely wouldn't put a no name aftermarket alternator in my truck.

No remanufactured ones cause you'll just have to keep taking it back every 3 months. Get one from ford and it'll last you a long time.

83 sold, and the seller has 99.8% positive feedback. There is also a phone number to call on the listing. This all points to a good product and seller.

A new TYC or Remy on Rockauto is $100-$110 + $8 shipping.

A Motorcraft is about $300

Brand name means less and less now-a-days.

My Jeep Cherokee alternator is similarly priced ($100), while buying other parts I noticed RockAuto had a close-out, store re-branded, 2 month warranty special one for $40 (at the time mine was making noise). It has been in my Jeep for about 3 years with a snow plow, zero problems.
