so today i was bored and my dad had told me earlier in the month to change my alternator and not wait for it to go out so i wont have to deal with the towing issues and everything....since the last week at work has been extremely slow at work i decided to rebuilt a alternator for my truck and since i was doing that why not replace it with a 200amp one

here are some pics









i dont know if the order is right but what ever here are some pics

 

Wow, I can't see beyond the piles of crap on your work bench.... Ya, your photo order looks a little messed up. But nice job.

 

You must be planning to power a small town

All I saw was spare parts on the work bench. Easier to find that way

 

very nice upgrade for you to take on by yorself there. just make sure that if you have your truck set up to actually use a 200amp charge that your vharging wire from your alternator is upgraded to a heavier guage.

on a side note.... how in the hell can you keep track of anything on that workbench? if that was the one at my shop my boss would be having heads.

 

Looks like a great mod!

But how exactly did you go about the conversion?

 

multiple copies of same threads in different forums
same thread

 

im pretty new to this forum so im still trying to get a hand of what gets posted where, sorry

 

some of the newer f150 or other fords come with the 200amp as a option, my dad just found a new and told me i can rebuild one for my truck, so on some spare time i did haha

 

its a self owned buisness, and thats my dads workbench so i cant tell him clean anything or else he will have my head, i asked him and he says he knows where everything is, i just try and figure stuff out when im working on it haha

 

Two threads merged. One thread per subject, please.

 

That pulley looks like it has a centrifugal clutch. The only thing I've seen those on were police models with the 200A alternator. Papajohn is right about upgrading the cable from the battery to the alt. What you have wouldn't come close to handling it if the alt. actually had to put out what it is capable of.
Wanta see your Dad go nuts??? Empty the bench into a garbage can and throw it out. Stand around the corner and see his reaction when he comes in next morning. He'd probably be out in about 20 years, since it wasn't pre- meditated. JK

 

it is a centrifugal clutch, and if i ever did that to my dad he would have my head and i wouldnt be able to find my truck anymore i swear to god

 

sorry man im not used to this forum yet, dont know what goes where

 

no biggie dude. a lot of times if you are dealing with something specific and there is a forum that covers that subject that is usually where you would post it.

so is that an actual 200 amp kit you got for the rebuild? is there anything beefier that goes into the rebuild? and please tell me you are upgrading the charge line back to the battery to handle that.

 

Well done... Nice job...
