5 of 5 Awesome experience March 19, 2018
Reviewer: Jim from Vista, CA United States  
Alternator went out on my 6.0L Excursion and as a result I wanted to upgrade to a higher amp model.  The TAD 185 fit the bill and I called early on Tuesday to check stock, ordered and had the alternator on Friday.  Weekend plans were saved by the quick delivery.
Alternator works like a champ.  Highly recommended.
