My 2006 6.0 has a single alternator setup, and the alternator needs to be replaced. Can I replace it with the 135A alternator that's designed to run as the upper alt for the 2-alternator setup?
Even the old style 3G case bolts right up. The shop that built mine did some grinding on the bottom of it but I don't think that was even necessary on a 6.0 engine. (Sorry about the crappy picture).
I know XDP sells them for about $350 and I believe Nations Alternator Starter also carries them and a higher amp unit in the same lineup, as well as other manufacturers. L-N is standard equipment in many commercial and transit vehicles. I may be trading my truck in this fall so I'll put the 110 back on and resell this if I do.
When I installed this one I put the 110, 140 and this one on the bench. This one just outsized the others. And just after the motor starts with the GPs still on you just watch the voltage climb back up.
Sorry guys, my term plug and play was to if you need an adaptor for the regulator connection. Yes you do need to add an additional wire from the output terminal to the passenger battery terminal of 4ga (mine is 2ga)and a fuse of 125-150 amps in combination with the factory wires.
