I'll probably get a rebuild kit to have the original as a backup, but I didn't want to lose any ski time. Figured it'd take me less time to swap the alternator right now than rebuild it since I haven't rebuilt one of them yet.
You made the right decision. That alternator uses a different voltage regulator and may be harder to service. I don't have any experience with it. I had assumed it was a newer 1-wire type model.
