5.0 ranger alternator

[beentryin]

i think my alternaotor is going out.what alternators can i use on a stock v8 bracket assembly.and is there a wiring diagraham on here?

Either one from an 89-93 F-150 truck or a 5.0 Mustang should work.

It should be plug-and-go. Why do you need a wiring diagram?

 

[beentryin]

to make sure i got it right. it was charging.but i heard alot of diff alt will work. on my set up

 

[Iron Ranger]

Well, as long as the mounting holes line up and the connectors are the same, a different alternator will work.

Are looking into a high output alternator or just curious?

 

[beentryin]

nothing special just charge my batt

I would have it tested at a part store, if its bad a good parts person should be able to match something up for you. Or you could find a start/alt shop to fix it.

Just about any alternator will work. I ran an old AC Delco 63 amp one in my 85 for a long time

why not just use the alternator for your application ........... I mean what did the engine belong in before it came to reside in you ranger......... then use that alternator.

i am actually encountering the same problem, abd what i have found is that a90-92 f150 302 alternator will bolt up to the v8 brackets and it has the same plugs as the 2.9 alternator, it runs about $100 from advance. 89 and 93 are different so they wont have the same plugs. if you have the money id go with a 1 wire alternator, you can get a 100 amp natural finish one for about $150, and a chrome 100 amp for about $200, and there are amp ratings up from there. in chrome, black and natural finishes.
