I have an 89 ranger xlt 4x4 2.9 with ac. The accessories use v belts, not serpentine. I've been through 3 alternators in the past year. Warranty replacement is nice, but I'm about to start installing the things with wing nuts so I can swap them out every oil change. I don't prefer autozone, but there us one within walking distance from my house, so I often end up purchasing there.
Last go around with this alternator, I found the one I keep replacing is for a non ac truck. I'd love to buy one for the ac truck, but it doesn't exist with a v belt. Now I am fairly certain I don't have the only ranger with ac and v belts ever made, so I am curious if any one knows what the amp rating of the oem alternator for this truck was. Is it possible I am overloading the only replacement autozone carries for my truck?
