I feel your pain buddy. Usually when something goes on my X, it happens in twos like yours did. Already been through the brakes and replaced the alternator, ac compressor clutch, 3 window actuators, two axle shafts bco front cv boots and still have a misfire that I've been trying to track down for several thousand miles with no luck. I just recently broke the 60K barrier, wtf.
I did notice that price difference when pricing my altenator replacement between the I-6 and V-8 models and thought holy cow that's high. One of the few times I was glad I had the bottom line motor. Good luck with you situation, hope it doesn't run you too much.
