Everything else runs perfectly. Car had about 106k miles when I bought it and ~6 weeks later the first alternator went out. Replaced it with a new one off rockauto, and 3 weeks later that one was burnt out. Got one from autozone 2 weeks ago and it just did it again. Got the battery tested and it’s in good shape, the belt looks good. The engine bay has been very hot when they die. it was well over an hour before I could reach in and check the alternator connections last time. If it’s not something relatively easy to fix I’m gonna throw another one in and sell it.
