What kind of alternator? When I worked selling auto parts about a dozen years ago, I bought the cheapest replacement alternator we had, figuring that it was very easy for me to replace it again if it didn't last long. I actually had 3 of our cheap alternator on my car in a month's time before I finally forked over the difference and bought a good quality reman.

I replaced my original alternator with a palladium? alternator from advanced auto. Maybe I should look into getting a different brand alternator?

Thanks,

There's no way to say for sure that the Paladium is the problem, but they're not exactly the top of the line...

I would be more apt to gamble on a junkyard piece than a lot of "rebuilt" alternators, especially if the yard would warranty it.
