Guise, I have 274,000 on my original alternator and it still works. Is this the longest lasting alternator of all time? How long did yours last for?

My 2005 has 320,000 miles with the original alternator still!

Dude that is AMAZING! I got paranoid because when you google how long they last for it seems to be 100K is the common answer. I actually just changed it because I figured it was gonna take a crap soon but apparently I might of had an extra 70,000 miles on it! I just did a video on removal and put it on YouTube. When your ready to someday change it -

That is exceptional mileage. Bearings started going out on mine, then quit charging at 142k miles.

Are any of you running stereo amplifiers ? I'm sure running 1-2 amps can lead to early alternator demise ... lower lifespan
