240K miles, bought new. Truck like new in and out. I got a voltmeter that plugs into cig lighter to keep an eye on it. I'm just afraid to replace it with a new one that might crap out before this one might, I know this was a good one. I have a 99 Honda Valkyrie (Gold Wing drivetrain) and the Hitachi alt on it lasted 8k with no extra elec eqpt on it. Read that hitachi moved to China back then and I had a alternator guy "get the chinese out of it" and it's been fine. How much warning might I get when the alt goes out? I'm assuming a few miles or worse at nite...
What kind of life are you guys getting on your alt?
