Default Rebuilt OEM alternator vs new Aftermarket??

Ive been having some problems with my current alternators been replaced twice and battery recently replaced in the last 6 months. Still having problems with the alternator. I current have a rebuilt aftermarket which people are saying stay away from. So I would like to see what you guys think is my better option, regardless of price! A rebuilt OEM alternator from ford? Or go with a new aftermarket one?

I agree with the OEM. I went that route when mine died, go for quality you'll save money in the long run.

We carry new alternators for Ford F150 trucks. The alternators that we carry are new and not remans. We also include free shipping, and NO core charge.

Had mine go on my Jeep a few weeks ago, tossed one of our new ones in. Here's a link the new alternators that we carry for your truck.

I've had a brand new TCY alternator (from Amazon I think) since I got the truck 3+ years ago. Zero issues, very happy with the quality. Price was great
