Mention his "SVT performance" plan to receive up to 60% off OEM new items. (usually more than Bill Jenkins, but not always.. Bill's discount is right around 31-ish%.. Steve is USUALLY from 35-60% averaging 40-45.)
There is an alternator how-to in Duratec Maintenance under "Ray's How-tos"..
Not terribly hard, as everyone makes it seem.. just need the right combination of extensions, and sockets (I even wrote out WHICH combination you need.. lol)
