How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

Traveling to Ohio and return, Illynoise and Indiana was the highest prices we seen.
5.59 a gallon was the norm and one area was 5.69 a gallon.
Coming back and in Wisconsin, Minnesota the prices had dropped into the $4.00 range but I dont remember the cents.
Seems $4.29 was the lowest.
Marathon stations in many areas directly across from the most expensive stations was always 20 or so cents cheaper.

Well its dead boys, literally driving at 15MPH and it flat lined, made it home finally. (Not even driving on the interstate brought it back up)

Now I actually have to tear into it

How it all looks like off btw, anything I should look for/do while down here?

Top picture, remove that bolt and ground wire, shine all three, the grounding surface, wire terminal and the bolt.
Then peel back the plastic on all the battery cables and shine them up too.
Sometimes those plastic insulators can be removed, if so do that then shine those terminals and give them a shot of battery corrosion preventive before reassembling them.
Third photo down, that red alternator battery terminal wire looks mighty suspect of having some broke strands within the insulation. Be good to clip out that piece and solder on a new ring terminal.
Scrub to bright and shiny all of the wire terminals that have been disconnected.
One of those tooth brush size stainless steel wire brushes is Your best friend, and some black wet/dry sanding paper.

Update: since I store i bought from wasnt a Corporate Store, I cant warranty it out, all I can do is return it. Alternator failed the test btw

That being said, Autozone and Advanced AutoParts (which there are plenty of in NYC/LI) have them. I can return the core and purchase one from them.

Which of these would best work:

Be sure that the pulley is the proper diameter, if Your blazer has a tach.
Oh boy, you had done a previous exchange, if the pulley on the original alternator was a different diameter then it could throw off the tachometer reading.
