i am disappointed on a few comments related to my post, I only stated that i change these comp when i purchase a used truck so i know they are good , and many were on the way out faulty
I'm not sure why you're disappointed by the comments, we must care enough that we're paying attention and asking for a clarification of your statements.
In every truck I have owned , now that is 7. Within a year I will change the starter alternator, battery for sure. on my 2014 now I changed it with in a year, that was 2019 , i am the second owner, and it was on the way out
So, 7 trucks have resulted in 7 alternator and battery changes? That sounds a bit unusual for at least the alternators or maybe, they were mostly high-mileage trucks?
Back in the old days before parts became stupidly expensive, I could understand proactively changing certain components before they failed, but not these days unless you're independently wealthy.
Out of the 6 pre-enjoyed trucks I've owned, IIRC, I've only changed about 2 or 3 alternators.
My trucks were 4 Nissan, and 2 Toyota. Three of the six trucks had more than 100K miles and required the new alternators.
