(Yet Another) Alternator Question
Hello everyone,
I'm brand new to the site and already I'm finding it very helpful. I just picked up a 1986 F250 Supercab, long bed 4x2 and she's running a 351W with the C6 tranny.
Yes, I have searched extensively on my question. I even tried Ford's VIN decoder with no success.
I've searched high and low with no luck. Where do I find out the output of my truck's alternator? I need to replace the belt, but I figure it would also be good to know in case my alternator ever goes out.
Thanks!

I also have an 86 F250 Supercab, longbed 4x2 running the 351w and c6 tranny. Mine is a 70amp alternator which I believe is OEM spec. You should be able to swap it out for a higher output if need be, but anything the parts store sells for this setup should fit fine.
IIRC the factory stock rating is 40 amps.Most rebuilt alternators are 60.

Thanks for the help everyone!
