And the regulator is built into the alternator.

Have the new rebuilt one checked out. It been my experience (more years than I care to say), that about 1 out 10 rebuilt alternators will be bad right out of the box. And...3 more outa the good ones put on will fail withing 3 years.

Lifetime warranty don't mean a thing when you have to use it several times, or the thing fails when you are deep in the middle of nowhere.

But... new one from Toyota will cost you your first born male child, (and a taco).
