Alternator ID
« on: July 26, 2014 - 05:18:39 PM »
Team,
When I purchased my Cuda, the previous owner mumbled something about replacing the alternator and it melted a wire due to a bolt being too long and that it had all been fixed etc. Now, yes it did melt a wire and also per the pic gave the blue wire some love.

so, I'm trying to figure out what size the current Alt is, the only number I can find is cast into the housing on the front and that is 3395191. Everything is working ok at the moment however, not knowing if its a large alternator and with no Amp gauge bypass etc I'm fearfull of a further melt down.


So, how can I tell what the output of this alternator is please?

it is the std alt so probably 55-65 amp unless the rebuilding upgraded it , you can have it tested for max output
