240 Two, no three alternators in three days 200 1993

Because of having 3 bad alternators on a car in 3 days, and not replacing an alternator on a 240 in 15 years, I have a fear that I have done something wrong.
That is in opposition to the fact that I have replaced 3 bad, though relatively new in tank pumps on 240s.
Changing an alternator though, seems to be one of the simplest jobs on the car; Ground wire, wire to batt. and wire from charge indicator. Friendly young guy at AZone was proud of the fact that his rebuilt alt. uses only the body of the old alt., replacing all the internals before reselling as rebuilt.
Faith, even when in error, is probably a good thing.
Is the usual suspect on a bad alt. the voltage reg./ brush assembly?
I am out of town, but have new brushes, as well as a new bosch voltage regulator at home. (850 miles away.)
