Ok, this may be a little "out there" but might these "sponsors" be setting customers up to damage vehicles in order to reap the repair costs?
Regardless, is there some type of alternator splash guard that could resolve some of these issues or is the alternator literally being submerged?
Not being an alternator expert, is there a "sealed" alternator out there?
And I agree about the wheel well cracks if it was done off road. Offroading trashes things. HOWEVER - if these are cracking under normal driving conditions, soemthing is up. I haven;t damaged anything on mine yet and winter is qickly approaching. I will keep an eye on mine to see how they hold up to the harsh winter conditions here, especially the freezing rain storms...
