WOW YOUR THE BEST !!
Ok how do i know

Pick the mounting style and clocking that best suits your vehicle??

I am not to sure how to chose the right One for my set up ? any advice ?
Ford f-350 1993 / 1979 block and a 1993 top end.

 

I just did a 3G swap on my 89 f250 351. I got everything i needed at the junk yard. I got the alternator off of a late 90's early 2000's Ford taurus. I took as much of the charging cable i could off of that car and found a car with a fusable link charging cable and spliced the two together i got the plug too off of the taurus. The only problem with using this alternator is that it is not clocked right for our trucks. The plug and charging cable can't be disconnected until the alternator is unbolted but it works and it kind of makes it look a little neater that way. The new bolts at the hardware stor the 2g butt connector got from hardware store. Spent about $30 on everything

 

There are a ton of 3G alternator swap threads you can get info from.

 

Well "bust my britches"! You live right over the fence from me!

Call RJM w/ your specs & load demand. Your Alt. choice should be slightly above that.

These guy's are local: Wayne Electric Home Page
Ask for the owner & tell him "Mike Jablonski" from the LBPD Motor Patrol Association sent you. He's also a member. Installation is very reasonable.

 

Ryan has a great writeup about the 3G alternator in this thread: FullSizeBronco.com 3G alternator FACTS

 

I'm pretty sure the easiest way to do this is to find an alt. from a diesel and simply drop it in. No mods-nothing.

Depends on the size & there's definitely a wiring mod going to a 3G.

 

hey boss I wanted to tell you thank you .. you saved me a ton of money Steve will wire it in my truck for me for an amazing price , Thxs mate. I owe you a coffee .
i only have one more Question, what alternator do i buy, as in I want 130 amps or more ... just not sure on the Pivot angle etc , any advice ?

I got my 200 amp off ebay.

If I were you I would go 160+

 

Ya, he's a great guy. Alway's nice to know the owner. He has the city's contract so he buys in quantity. You just need to tally your total Amperage load (he'll help you w/ that too) & he'll set you up w/ the correct size & configuration. He has most all flavors in stock. You don't want it running at capacity all the time so as mentioned by others, you may be into a higher than 130, or service life will be compromised.

 

OK np i am going to go with a 160 amp sounds bout right , if you ever have a question bout your engine / wiring stuff let me know , i could totally help.
thxs again mate , Repp point added thxs again

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Your the closest member in proximity I know.

 

I dont know what diesel alt you are talking about but a powerstroke one from any year will not work. And by the looks of it my 86 6.9 diesel alt will not work either
