Unless you really enjoy dissassembling and re-assembling your alternator, don't use autozone. I've tried them on more than one vehicle, and rarely do they last a year. I've had one last less than a week before. CRAP! Have your original one rebuilt, that's the best way to do it IMO.
Never had a problem with mine. Got 2 cars both with rebuilt toyota ones from autozone. Not a single problem.

I belive your problem is that you broke your fan. Check to see if it rotates as it should when your car is idling, and as you hit the throttle. My 4runner acted exactly the same way when i hit a big mud puddle. I solved the problem with a flexalite fan...

How do you keep mud, water, debris,... whatever from shooting up from under the truck? I know you cant keep it all out but,... I drove through this mud hole at a fairly slow speed,... and mud shot up from under the truck and hit the underside of the hood. That is not sitting with me well.
