Default alternator

looking at getting a new for a while now, anyone have any input/experience with swapping them out?

----------

I have found a 220 amp for $317.70

problem one is the serpentine belt and removing it. need a one foot socket wrench to apply leverage to loosen tensioner. alternator bolts only a problem if seized. can't apply heat because of aluminum parts. lining up serpentine belt for install is another issue. looks easy. good luck!!

did not find a 220 but a 200 amp so it should be about the same.
