alternator exchange or rebuild
this is the alternator I wish to have serviced and or replaced with a newer or better alternator. It came of a 1986 Holiday Rambler with a 454 Chevy motor.

On most modern alternators there's not much to rebuild. Either the housing, pulley, and fan are serviceable, or they are not. Same for the rotor and stator. They are generally not repaired, just cleaned and resealed, or replaced. If not too worn, the slip rings on the rotor can be turned smooth on a lathe and reused. The brushes, bearings, and voltage regulator are usually replaced, but not necessarily so on "white box" budget rebuilds.
All bets are off with the latest generation alternators (not yours) which are electronically output controlled by the ECU.
You can usually buy a new unit, a rebuilt unit, or repair your own based on your budget, location, and what you are comfortable working with.
