[QUOTE="Drive XR7, post: 15854868, member: 43230"] First, Paul's Automotive in Cincy is a great shop. My buddy's brother runs it. They installed the FLSFCs and new front bushings on mine before I bought it. Heat kills these alternators. I'd replace it now so the car doesn't leave you stranded somewhere. On my last Cobra, the alternator burned up at 30k miles when I was DDing it. Ford replace it with a Motorcraft unit under warranty. I've heard if you do replace it, get a new metco pulley so it's not overspun. Other than that, this is still a chronic issue with our cars and I don't know of any solid tried and true fix. [/QUOTE]
