Default 3G installed

Got my 130amp / 3G alternator installed today.

Wasnt too hard. Did not have to run new power cable and
only required a little bit of grinding on the mounting bracket.

No more undervolt problems with u/d pullies, shows full charge
at idle now.

Recommend you shop around local for one. Found mine at local
alternator shop for $160, they even showed me what wires to
splice and where to hook em up to the new alternator.

Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. We have PA performance ones on both of ours. $$$$ though. You can get a junker for about 40 bucks.

not sure on the name brand of mine, plastic plug-in slot says Motorcraft on back.

i just called around to local alternator rebuild shops asking for a 130amp 3G alternator
one near my house had one for $160, great place..... came out to my car showed me
what wires to cut and where to hook em up and were smart enough to give me
a little spacer you need so your pullie doesnt rub.
