Put in a 3g and be done with it.  The old 2g alternators are horrible.


What the hell are these 3g alternators I keep hearing about?  I want one, where do I get one?

Go get an alternator for or from a 3.0 V-6 Taurus.Other than re-clocking it (takes about 2 minutes),it's a direct bolt on.You have to modify your harness,but you then have a 130 amp alternator.I've had mine on for about a year with zero problems,and I can run my lights,stereo,heater,foglights (four small round ones instead of two rectangle ones),window defroster,and the alternator easily handles it.It is one of the best upgrades I've done to my 5.0,and,one of the easiest.
