I would use the BOSCH from fcpeuro.com without hesitation.
I replaced my alternator two years ago, and I put in a Bosch, and I haven't looked back. It works great and also has a warranty.
Best has been new Bosch or Delco-Romy from jobber stores. Never had one of those fail yet.
I think I put a Bosch 145 on my 01 5.3 and it’s been a non issue
After that I would pick the Bosch reman. A junk new alternator is going to last a fraction of the time of these 2.
The Bosch reman is the one I'd go for. I've got it in mine.
IMHO this is not going to work. The brushes and slide rings lifespans are about the same so IMHO you must replace whole set if you expect this to be a permanent fix. Also, you have to clean the housing from old copper dust and graphite.
Looks very similar to a Porsche 944 alternator.
Ive had a few Bosch reman failures lately at my shop as well, although they were for N52s, all bearing noise after about a year.
Symptoms: Flickering lights, and occasional hiccup start. Now battery light is coming on and staying on. When stationary battery tests around 12.5 volts. When running, that drops to 11.7 volts.
