I had the same symptoms in my 04 with 141K and it was my starter. The job took my mechanic 5 hours and the new starter was $450.00 now she starts all the time.

Alternator is liquid cooled. But why are you pulling it off/disconnecting the coolant tubing from it? No need to touch the alternator when removing the starter.
