Re: $1,500 to replace alternator!?!?!
I'm with Maxcichon. But I'd buy the rebuilt alternator (Remy/Valeo; P/N 12437) ) from RockAuto for $191 exchange ($90 core - send back the old one). You're planning to have yours rebuilt anyway. Nothing bad about rebuilt parts.
And the AutohausAZ source (pizzaguy provided above) for the alternators is a pretty good deal, too.
Alternator is easy to get to. Should be a fairly easy repair ro do.
Later,
