Under $50 with a core returned....if the darn thing works it's awfully cost effective.

Have never used Autozone parts on the -6 but after decades of slapping 'em on various Fords/GM products/Jeeps etc. couldn't be happier. As noted, many come from OEM suppliers. When I sold my '93 Blazer with over 300k on the clock, the AutoZone alternator only had 183,000 miles on it! Never a question re: replacements on warranty. In the rare instances that's been necessary I just put in on the counter and they pulled out a new one.
