My alternator has 100,000 miles on it - 2 voltage
reg. replacements, but original brushes - think I got
my money's worth, I'll just trade for a rebuilt one.
Crude stock volt gauge indicates voltage in the red.
Changed to the new Valvoline oil for high mileage engines
plus a Purolator micro filter. See where STP has a oil
additive for extending oil changes - am not interested in
extending changes, but this stuff might be good for topping
out between changes.

alternators do not have brushes. this could be why they lasted so long. you think?

Sorry to disagree, but alternators do have
brushes. I have rebuilt a number of alternators and
changed brushes on them, as a matter of fact for anyone
who is going to rebuild a alternator, there usually
are little pins or toothpicks that you have to use to
hold the brushes away from the rotor when you put the
two end pieces together. After you have it assembled
you have to remember to remove the pins and allow the
spring pressure on the brushes to snap onto position.
