Random Asshole

My car was solid as a rock for two years until the alternator took a dump on the fourth of July on the way to a fireworks show. All electical systems incrementally cut out and then i noticed that the factory volt "gauge" went to zero and all systems cut out except the ignition system. Car was under warranty, so they replaced the alternator. All was good until last saturday and the "gauge" pegged "H" and everything cut out. I was a ways from home and just crossed my fingers and drove home. As I drove down the street, it would peg zero, and then normal, and then high at any given moment. Had no time to mess with it since it's finals week, so I dropped it off at the dealer. I was thinking voltage regulator, but didn't bother with it due to lack of time. I'm on my third alternator now. The car doesn't get all that much street use. I've been running quite a few track events this summer and was wondering if you fellow carvers are experiencing similar issues? Anyone using a non ford oem alternator out here?
