I use ebay for that. Here's a good 130 amp. -

Your 98 most likely came with a 90 amp. The best deals on ebay are the crate motor take offs, but I don't see any right now.
The 130's are nice , specially if you use the extra power port allot or run a big stereo system, e-fans or whatnot.

I hate to bash Napa but there alternators suck. My friend, brother and myself have been through alot of them. They usually dont work at all and after the third one we usually get one that works, but when you get the one that daoes work your good to go.

I have 1998 5.4, I have tried the Autozone alternators and have had now luck put in a re-man the first time...truck rejected it. Put in a new Autozone alternator and the thing worked for a week then the truck rejected it. Put in a OEM from ford and it lasted 4years over 75,000 miles. I just recently went through the same thing with another local parts supply store. I should have known better they dont offer a brand new alt they are all re-mans. I dropped it off at the shop today so I should know if it was somthing else other than the alt. If anyone has any input please let me know. A mechanic checked all the fuses under the hood. Im stumped....

i had the factory alternator crap out on me after some heavy off-roading got the alternator covered in mud/nasty water. if you're from nj/pa, you know the kind of mud. i put one in from advance auto, whatever brand they use. i made sure to get a new one though. i don't mess around with remanufactured parts. the small cost savings is not worth the aggravation of having to do the job 2-3 times within the first year.

Nah, mud won't kill em. When your whellin and the battery light comes on, -yep, your alternator took a hit. What you have to do is pull them, pull regulator, blow out the alternator and free up the brushes in the reg. Their stuck, little stone chips lock them up. Been there done that many times, - got pics of that fix as well. You'll fry the comp before you fry an OEM alternator totally.
