Alternators are generally not user repairable. It takes special tools and access to parts to repair. While there are repair centers, it may be cheaper to just replace it.

Can an alternator short out for years And have problems for periods at a time for a matter of 3 years or so?

An alternator cannot "short" out for years or even minutes. The definition of a short is a wire or circuit touching ground to cause a fuse to blow. The circuit is too "short" for the current to flow through the proper load and back to the battery. The voltage regulator in a alternator can act up from time to time and cause improper charging from the alternator. Or a component of the alternator can go bad and cause a charging system problem intermittently. Your question needs to be explained better to give a better answer.
