9000 or 900? If it is the regulator or brushes, it may be simply a 40.00 item which is replacable with a screwdriver. It is my experience that the regulator or more probably the brushes which fail. The rest of the alternator is usually pretty robust. KeithG JOE writes: > My alternator went and I have no idea if i should buy a used one > instead of a new one.
