[QUOTE="rattle_snake, post: 14137240, member: 126699"] I'm on my 2nd Eagle unit, I had no issues with a warranty return. Got a replacement unit right away. Quality is 'OK', value is very good. Any alternator installed on a cobra will have it's life span shortened by the high heat. The diodes and regulator are right next to exhaust #5, and airflow is limited. Yes it is possible to get and externally regulated unit, but they are not cheap. Instead of spending a pile of money on a high quality alternator, I have attempted to address the heat issues with a heat shield and a cooling duct, and have a 2nd spare alternator ready when the Eagle takes a dump. When it does (it is out of warranty now), I will have it rebuilt locally for a spare. This solution works for me as my cobra is not my DD, or my only vehicle. I don't take it on long trips. I can swap alternators in <30 min. If reliability is much more important than cost then get a quality unit. I'm curious about output of the Eagle unit at idle. I will measure and see what it really is. [/QUOTE]
