I know this is a recurring topic but after following @Spoke 's excellent diagnostic procedures, it looks like I've lost a diode or two as it is only outputting about 11.2v. Bummer because I rebuilt the alternator myself before putting the car back together, I tested the diodes and they all tested good so didn't replace them and it cranked out ~13.5v for almost 6K miles before crapping out.

Anyway, I need to replace the alternator fairly quickly and wondering about best options, particularly if there are in plug and play high output units around these days. I came across this one on ebay that is re-manufactured to 75amp. Anyone know anything about them?

High output isn't critical as I've converted everything but the alternator light to LED, but do have a 100w stereo amp plus phone and tablet charging. So interested in best stock options out there since I don't have a local shop that can reman the one I have.

TIA
