It's not uncommon to get a defective rebuilt alternator. Typically when the alternator is rebuilt only the part(s) that caused the alternator to stop working in the first place are removed and replaced. The rest of the alternator still has the same old parts inside. It could last another 6 months or 10 years, who knows. Keep your receipt for that lifetime warranty. You might need it again! Hope that helps! Jim
