Reman'd alternators from any parts store or reman'd alternators from a local alt shop can give you trouble if they do not use the best of parts. Thing is most everybody these days are looking for the cheap price and expecting the best service. All parts stores and alt shops are offering the cheap stuff cause it sells better and have the upper grade if you ask for it.
Also worth pointing out is some guys use alternators with too small an amp output to keep up with the power demand of the vehicle and all the extras, radio, amps, air pumps, etc. Too much demand on a small output alt will definately shorten the life of it.
