Don't have the chart with me, but we called it quits at 6300.

What were your issues? I might be having the same problem.

Impressive numbers!

How did you test it? Or did you just throw a new alternator on it? I took mine to advance for them to test it and all was SAT.

Long story short, I swapped my 40k mile alt with my father's 80k mile alt to diagnose a squeaky pulley on his car. Never bothered swapping them back until I had the issue.
