I found McMark's thread on nice upgrade from a few years back.
It was not a step by step, I don't remember seeing much how-to or the final results on that thread. But my Alt died this weekend, so I thought I would research making an upgrade. Is there a nice step by step out there somewhere? Clark |

Sellers on Ebay have stock alternators that have been upgraded. Cost is in the $250 range.

The one I got from CARID cost $68, IIRC with a $30 core charge. and I knew it was original equipment on a TIV engine. With the wire harness coming out of the rear and the unit being mounted where it almost touches the 350 *F cylinder head and has very specific mounting brackets I did not want to be cutting and drilling a $250 alternator and then hope I could make it fit and not melt the harness. |
