Recommendations for Alternator Upgrade?

• Add to quote

It's time for a new alternator and I figured I'd go with a little more amperage. Any recommendations?  

I recommend a 3G alternator from https://alternatorparts.com/ford-3g.html I went with a 160 amp unit.. The 3G is the older bigger style unit, that requires a slight modification to fit The 160 amp unit runs about $300, but smaller amp units are considerably less Higher amp units may require some rewiring to a larger size wire, But Iwent with the 160 amp back in 2009, and haven’t had any problems.....  

Thanks. I'll check them out.  

A 7.3L Excursion would have come with a 6G small case alternator rated 110A. A dependable upgrade would be a Genuine Motorcraft 6G large case alternator rated 140A. They were used on the 6.0L F450's and will fit on a 7.3L with a minor grinding to relieve the interference at the bottom of the alternator mount. Unless you have a ton of aftermarket electrical loads, a 140A alternator should serve you well. You should let us know the specs of your truck so you can get the right advice.  

Thanks. It's a 2005 Excursion with a 6.0.  

This thread has some info that might help you out. http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/inexpensive-upgrade-140-amp-large-case-alternator-295912/ It gets a bit into the weeds on pulley diameters, but has some leads on an alternator.  

Great stuff. Thanks.  

I just went to my local alternator shop fri and had them rebuild mine and told them what I was looking for and 45 min later I had it back on going down the road. I would look for a local shop.  

What he said. Once you find a shop that actually rebuilds alternators and starters you'll never go anywhere else. Its worth the effort to find the shop.  

He is totaly right you will go nowhere else. And the price is the about the same or cheaper sometimes.  

And most of those holdovers from earlier eras, held over because they were successful at adapting to this new era... meaning that even if they are rebuilding alternators, they are getting the parts from wholesale industry parts distributers whose sources are the same Chinese sweat shops (like WAI Global) who supply the parts for the new and rebuilt alternators sold by the wax and oil auto parts chain stores with their time consuming lifetime guarantees. No difference. Same $3 regulator resold for $30. Same 10 cent diodes resold for $10. Yes, it is nice to find and build a relationship with a local craftsman... but in the major metropolitan area where I live, all the "Alternator & Starter" shops who have been in business for decades on end, are still in business because when a customer plunks their bad alternator on the counter for rebuild, the counter clerk looks into a computer, disappears into the back, and reappears pushing a box with a rebuilt alternator inside... no different than a chain store. And those rebuilds were done in China or Mexico. The only exception I have encountered is for heavy truck... where the alternators can cost four figures. Those still get rebuilt onsite. But light trucks and autos, where alternators cost between $75 to $300? There simply isn't enough margin involved to open the alternator case, because the labor rates are too high to justify the time spent. This could be different in more rural areas, or areas away from the expensive high tech high finance coast. Depends on the locality. The point is, that finding a dedicated automotive electrical shop is no guarantee that the alternator will be hand wound, hand crafted, or hand built by a wrinkled old expert with copper strands growing out of his chin.  

Appreciate the responses to this thread. I also am compromised by the fact that I also live in a highly populated metropolitan area and there are very few good ol' boys around that have shops like that. I did find one that is about 15 miles away in Manassas, VA so I'm going to give them a call.  

You can find them in old Industrial areas of the City. 15 miles away is not surprising since its a niche market and demand is small. NYB has introduced some valid points. You might want to research Customer Reviews and ask specific warranty questions to the shop you found. As well as their price vs a quality retail alternator mentioned in earlier posts.  

I switched to a Nations alternator about a year and a half ago ,I'm running the Tad 190 alternator after running thru 3 parts store alternators . I tried one new and two rebuilts and nothing lasted longer than 6 months.  

alternator failing so replaced it today The battery light came on so today I replace the alternator. Excursion has 181000 miles not too bad for a 16 year old truck. I got the Auto Zone new replacement 110A since the old one was 110A and served me well.  

My batteries were old so I purchased 2 new ones and the Alternator (10 years old) seems to be working fine now. On a related note (and the subject of one of my separate posts) my positive battery terminal end (drivers side) is so corroded that it needs an immediate repair. Today I got DTC's for a bunch of crap related to the PCM which indicates that I've got some kind of battery problem and the bad connection seems like a good place to start. Hate to replace the entire cable but am struggling to find a good replacement terminal connector to attach to the cable. (I've read that replacing the entire cable is a bit if a PITA in addition to being an expensive cable).  

I would do the whole cable. Either buy one, have one made, or make your own. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk  

Roger that. I may build the entire cable on my own with MIL Grade Hardware. Friggin hate the stock cable.  

Some like switching to the stud post. But whichever will work. Just go big on the cable. Lol Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk  

I used FICM Repair. Bought the Leece Neville 230 Amp Alternator with overdrive pully and the wiring up grade. I had 3 dead FICM's due to voltage problem. I will have this on both my 6.0's.  

Good idea. I suspect that I'll be needing a FICM as well. Think I'll go with the Atlas 40 tune.  

Have the Atlas 40 tune, like it.  

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Do you have ARP HG's? My motor is stock with original HG's and I'm afraid to have too much of a tune.  

All stock except fot the alternator, FICM and egr cooler. I'm looking at the Edge CTS2 with variable tuning. Just don't intend to hammer it all the time. Will bullet proof when the time comes.  

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to limp through the winter and do the FICM install when it warms up. Wish I'd done it last fall because my truck won't run right until the EOT is > 150 degrees.

Remove power to all aftermarket components, if you know how to use a multi-meter connect to power source inside vehicle.. Drive normal, if voltage drops below 12v while driving, it is faulty alternator. If bat light comes on and voltage is above 12v the plug on the alternator might be correded and throwing faulty light, or bad ground in gauge cluster...

the job is not that bad if you have done it before, it is time consuming, just make sure you do it the right way and replace the wheel seal and u jiont at the same time, you will need a ball jiont press and an air hammer, and some snap ring pliers. make sure you do one side at a time to use the other side as a referance if you have never done it be for. The wheel bearing is one sealed unit so you want to be careful when you take it out, take the nuts off the back side and tap on the spindle till you get a gap betwen the bearing and the hub then use a tappered tool to walk it out. there is a snp ring on the axle shafe that has to come off first. once that is out then pull the axle shaft out and take the ball joint nuts off and replace.
