Alternator Recommendations? Oct 21, 2019 22:40:36 GMT -6

Hello all,

I think it's time to replace my alternator, as I think the voltage regulator is done--it just fluctuates all over the place, especially at idle. Anyone have recommendations? Looking at this one from RockAuto, but I'm open to hearing others' experiences or recommendations.

Thanks!

Not sure what that means in this case.

Had my mechanic replace it along with a few other things that needed to be addressed.
