Yeah, I see where you get 10+ years out of that.
Anyway, 65k and 8 years, never replaced.
Now, on my 99 Windstar, I'm on my 3rd one at 45k. 2nd Starter, too.

replaced brushes @ 60k and the alt @ 71K. after the brush replacement, noticed there was a large groove worn on the alt. shaft. This was from one of the brushes. Before i replaced the alt the battery light would blink around 5k..

Well my first alternator failed at around 85K and the light now is coming on when I rev past 5 or 6 thousand so I'm sure a new alternator is in my future. Does anyone offer lifetime alternators (Firestone, Midas, Meineke, etc.) Can't wait for another $400 bill for that.
