I had a 92 frd F150 that sold 10 years ago. When the alternator went out, It took a couple hours of getting the right tools together to get at it. About a week later, that one blew and got another. I still had the tools together and took about 45 minutes this time. Low and behold this one dived too.

Went straight to the store, removed it, got another and back installed in 25 minutes. It lasted a couple years but iwas getting good at it.
