Cheap alternators?

I seem to remember a thread about cheap new alternators here but I cant find it, even with the search function. Any leads?

My memory of years of postings is an overwhelming consensus to buy MB or Bosch ... the "cheap" options have very high failure rates, or simply fail to perform in the first place.

Are you looking for T1N (older) or NCV3 (newer) Sprinters' alternators?

Here's a short thread about NCV3s: https://sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58190
.. and it may not be the alternator at fault: https://sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39438

T1N, and that's my understanding as well, I just remember seeing a thread about discount Bosch alts a while back.
