For the LS3 motor, when would you replace the alternator?

Is it giving you problems?

My experience with my last several GM vehicles is that the alternator last well into the 150K mark. Hell I can't remember the last time I had to replace an alt, water pump, or a/c compressor since 2000. Most of my vehicles have done 200K or better.

I would not replace it until it fails
