    Thanks for the link, Sammm! Looks like there's a salvage yard in Grand Prarie with a '99 alternator. Hopefully they've got it when I call tomorrow morning.

    Lower mounting threads were stripped. Gotta love it. I'll be taking it back for a refund in the morning, unless they can weld in a plug and thread me a new hole.

    I used JB Weld on mine... Assuming you broke yours the same way I broke mine...

    HOW did you manage to break something that is so well hidden?

    FYI - if Gary doesn't have it, Dallas Import Auto Recyclers has a '99 PEP/Touring that may have what you're looking for. It was hit hard in the front, but the back looks fine.

    I don't know how it got broken. One of the "retaining feet" broke off. When I wash my car, I always stick my hand under the trunk lid to clean those lamps. This time I feel somthing loose and than it just drop out of the trunk lid.

    TC, is this happen to you too? JB weld? I think I'll look for the broken feet and try that.

    Guess I'll go through your parts bin when I over at your place.

    Thanks you all for the tips.
