Izusu NPR - over 500k miles (480k when odometer checked out and figure I drove another 80k) when #2 wrist-pin let loose and actually broke the cam ... as evidenced by piece of cam on alternator mount. Removed alternator and put on another NPR .....

Other Alternators have lasted 75k - 250k ... I usually will replace bearings when other high mileage maintainence requires vehicle to be down long enough to go to alternator shop and be 'checked out' (there is a good local alterantor/starter guy).

8766hrs is a 'year' at 50mph is 435,330 miles. Make sure you have a good seat if you drive that much a year.
