I've heard mixed reports, I know two people with 1997 GMs, and neither have had the problem. I've also read online (Google is your friend!) that these problems are common and random occurrences.
I changed out mine on my 97 Town Car. It was easier to do than the 98-02 CVPI in my opinion. If the vehicle in question still has the intake, keep an eye on it. I also heard through the CV.net boards to not floor the pedal when you still have the original one.
Any other questions?

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
is there a way to tell if its the org. and is there a certen amount of miles they last.
also is it possable for it to never go?
Get use to it, more and more cars are using them.

If it has the metal water jacket behind the alternator, then it has been changed. If it is all plastic, then it is original.
