Having myself considered buying a Delco alternator from the local pep boys, I would be interested in a answer to this question as well. I suspect this is the case. I agree Darryl, that if dealing with a DeLorean specific vendor we can expect to have this type of question answered by them. I have always been one to argue that we should all use DeLorean vendors whenever possible, but when it comes to a Alternator I tend to replace them quite often. For that reason, I use alternator vendors that include a lifetime warranty on the part. As far as I know, none of the DeLorean vendors offer this on their alternators. When I replace mine, I plan on using a Pep-Boys unit, so I get the lifetime warranty. Marc Darryl Tinnerstet wrote: > <SNI> > > Questions like these really puzzle me.
