Might want to take it back to them and get it replaced. Should be under warranty. I used to swear by Napa quality, but recently they have been letting me down. I recently bought a brand new serpentine belt for my Mustang, and 10 miles down the street, it started to squeak. Got a replacement from them, same thing, 100 miles later, it would squeak in the morning. I finally got a Goodyear Gatorback from Autozone, been 2000 miles, no noise. The alternator on my Taurus (also from Napa) failed on me after about 20K miles (thank God for the lifetime warranty). I think it should go a bit longer than that considering the Bosch unit on my 74 144 failed at 253k miles in 1997, after 23 years! Probably the one you got was made on a Friday afternoon at 4.45pm.
