For reman alternators (and starters for that matter) if I can't get Motorcraft for any reason I will go buy one from any parts store that offers free in-store testing (so pretty much all of them) and ask for the new unit to be tested before I buy it.
When I worked at Advance it was rare (and usually at the customer's request) that I didn't test a starter or alternator I was selling before sending it out the door. This would let us know for sure that the unit wasn't at fault if they got it on and still had issues.
