Or you could throw a chevy alternator on there and never have another problem again.... One thing GM did right.

Or better yet, get yourself a Denso. The replacement Mopar alternators and regulators just don't seem to last at all. I have a friend with several cars, and he's forever swapping out one or the other and occasionally both. I would never use a Mopar alternator again on anything other than a resto project.

I bought a Powermaster 95 amp unit, new not reman....and it seems to be performing nicely so far, but in case it should fail, I have a late model Denso from a Toyota 4runner with the pigtail connector, as a backup unit.
