    Alternator / Generator

    My Alternator is gone. I haven't done this in a while. Is there someone out there that sells them with return of the core? Someone told me the only option now is to send the original off to be rebuilt... is that true??

    I would rather send it out to be rebuilt, It's cheaper and easy, no fiddling around with the wireing and voltage regulator or machining(sp?) of the housing to make a new one fit...IMHO
