[PaleBlue90]

i didnt see the same part numbers..

 

[kimcrwbr1]

big price difference too probably not but I could be wrong

 

[kimcrwbr1]

are you sure it is the alternator check and clean the connectors and all the grounds.

 

[PaleBlue90]

Batt to engine, engine to chassis, batt to chassis

from what ive been told it made a lot of racket and stopped chargeing

 

[kimcrwbr1]

if it has the same mount and spacing and connector the only difference would be the battery amps or cranking amps

 

[PaleBlue90]

i think the plugs are diffrent

sounds like its time for an alternator.

I wouldn`t force it how did you determine the alternator is bad

You can take it to a place like Autozone and have it tested, I would assume you can also just start the truck and see if you're pulling 14 volts from it with a multimeter.


Anyway, there's a possibility that it could bolt up. According to the tech section a 130 amp alternator from an explorer and a Ranger can swap, even though the 130 amp is a little bigger. the 2000 model year isn't listed, but there's only one way to know for sure.

I would say that the noise and the lack of charging pretty much seals it.

the plugs are diffrent and he doesnt want to splice into his wireing harness
