just curious, I had a problem with autozone reman alternators before, and the starter I put in about a year ago is a reman from Oreilly, after about 3 weeks it wouldn't engage the flywheel completely for about a week, I thought I was going to have to pull it out and take it back but it has since acted OK. Seems as though it is hit and miss on these reman parts from auto stores as to whether they are actually any good or not. One of the alternators I got from auto zone would charge great for about the first 10 minutes after startup and quit completely so when it was bench tested it always passed, after finally adding an in cabin volt gauge I figured it out and demanded a new one.
