99 TL expected alternator life

Anyone have an idea on what the reasonable/average expected alternator life is for a 99 3.2 TL?

I have a 96 3.2 TL with 103K miles and the original alternator.

FYI, I did replace the starter motor this year.

Bump. Mine is still original at 175k, and it's pretty easy to replace. You'll need to have a serpentine belt remover tool to loosen the tension on the alternator belt. Also when removing, remember to disconnect the power steering hose on the top to give enough room to take out the alternator.
