i do find it funny that you state "remove disassemble and reinstall" as something you only have to do on the mitsi...
my sparky would laugh at you saying "not possible" on the rebuild for the maxima alternator... ANYTHING is rebuildable. period. my starter motor rebuilds cost me $10nz each and about 10m. that was before i got the jap spec gear reduction units and never had another problem.
brushes and diodes are generic, they cost little to nothing for the parts, and take a different (but usually insignificant) amount of time to fit depending on the model.

Note : I refered to Maxima start motor.
Yes everything is rebuildable but labour cost big dollars in the big citys over here. Mainly Sydney. This is why a Boach alternator that has easy to get hold of parts makes a smart choice in moving it too. And As I said beofre to change the regulator and brush set is done by two screws and a quick unplug. No removal.
I did mitsubishi rebuild before and the under bonnet heat temps and Load in summer fryed the Alternator Regulator and it did the same thing again. Produced 13volts but min current about 10amps. Plus again it did not put out a warning light.
My bosch I've only replaced it's Reg pack once and it warned me by flashing my electrical light.
As for your thing about voltage only need so much - True if you have no electrical loads you only need a bit. You only a need few as your ute does not have if any of the loads even a standard 626 had.
As cheif tool stated the Stock unit on the Gd's is boarderline and why they upgraded by Gd1022 model to a 80amp on the auto's. And regeared the normal 70amp unit. Also rewired the setup for it to actually activate the warning light.
This is why the bosch unit it so good. It provides more current down low and constant voltage. Enough so that the power systems does not use the battery as back up or resupply and the battery is always being charged or toped up.
Oh and it shoudl be the same unit. The numbers on my 93 local 2.2L wagon alternator are the same as my 97 model FE DOHC one. Only difference is the plug, it's black V gray
