I believe it is a pretty well known "fact" that PepBoys supplier of electric parts is notoriously screwed up. Went through about 4 alternators of their's that never would function correctly in my 88 Mazda 323GTX. (turbo and All wheel drive -what fun but I digress)
Eventually soured my relationship with the repair shop I was using as I favored Pep Boys' policy of lifetime warranty-which seemed advantageous to me for electrical parts. In short the shop was right and I was wrong. Went with a NAPA alternator on a Mazda and never ever a problem again.
"Do not use Pep Boys for electrical components"
I apologize publicly to Buchtel Motors of Denver-they still drive my 88 Toyota Van with 4wd for their shuttle taxi and take even better care of it than I ever could. They are a AAA recommended facility and they take good care of their customers. Really a shop poster child for good customer service.
