I think if you buy those parts new, they only have a one year warranty on them.

Sometimes they last two years, other times forever. The life also depends on how much juice you require it to produce. If you are condtanly running electrical accessories it is hard on an alternator.

If you don't already own a Ford (or Ford owned product), get one.
