Hi, I cant find original Motorcraft new alternators and power steering pumps anywhere for my 95 5.0. I am worried about these components aftermarket based on some bad experience. Can someone recommend an aftermarket brand(s), or a reliable rebuilt brand that is equally reliable to the original Motorcraft?
thanks

Check on Rock Auto. They have Motorcraft and BBB Industries for both parts. Either one would serve you well.

Consider the 130 amp large case 3g swap. And saginaw PS pump swap. BBB industries make a good PS pump. Local Starter/Alternator rebuilders usually do good work on alternator rebuilds or just get a lifetime warranty unit on rockauto.
