Thank you for the informative video, please can you explain how do I know what type of alternator in reference to G3, G6 and why are they called G's. Thank you
I have a truck with the same engine as yours and I ordered the alternator in the link your provided and the alternator is about an inch short from reaching the hole(on one of the bracket holes)
Can you show me how you have your battery wires hooked up? Is one positive going to the solenoid and the other to the starter? And does the negative from the starter go to the solenoid and to the battery?
I have a ground from the battery to the body and to the engine block. The positive is hooked to the relay and starter. If you Google images for ford starter wiring diagram you should see some good pictures.
Thanks for the short & informative video. Looks like it will be well worth upgrading for stereo, aux. lighting ,ect. I'm using a 3G 130 amp for a 99 Stang v6 into my 92 F250 351. What is your thought on a 150 amp circuit breaker vs. a mega fuse? Thanks, I appreciate the information. a 99' v6 Stang.
You are very welcome. As long as you have circuit protection it doesn't matter if it's a breaker or fuse. The mega fuse was most readily available to me. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.
@@jsquaredrepaired5017true old school can tell at a glance it's the almost indestructible inline 300 six ! I did this on my 88 but had to get another belt size original was to short . Put new tensioner on to and now every now and then belt jumps off! Never has before ! The 3g large frame 130 amp is perfect ! That 2g was nothing but problems ! 3g runs cooler than 2g and doesn't have that fire hazzard plug in !
I have an 89 F150. Think it would be the same alternator as in the amazon link in your description? I'm nervous to order the wrong one online but it's a very good price.
If the mounting flange looks the same it will work. I don't know off hand what mounting style was used in your year. Please reply so others know what you end up with. Good luck.
I have a 89 F150 with the 5.8l. A little bit of grinding on mounting bracket is needed. The alternator does not have to clocked but makes it easier to work on latter.
@@blakehavard717 awesome. You'll want to get a fuse with at least the alternator rating and you may want even larger battery cable. Look up a chart for how much current each size can handle. Let me know how it goes.
one of the more helpful videos on this topic I could find on youtube. thanks for the simplicity it really helps as a beginner
So glad it's helpful. Thanks for the kind words. Good luck!

Did the bracket and alternator look the same as what I have? Did you need to clock the alternator?
J Squared Repaired I got the wrong part somehow thanks for the reply!
@@SVTPalacios no problem. Hope they exchange it.
I did this and my Alternator is barely pushing 12 volts. Advice?

Hey did you change the clock before install?
Where’d you get a new plug at? I’m having trouble finding one

I have a 1989 f150 4.9 .. did you have to change belt or reclock the alternator
I had to use a different belt.
If converting a 1989 F-150 with the 5.8L, I would use a 3G alternator out of a 94 3.0L ford Taurus.
Your description failed to say which engine your 94 F150 has?
I have the 300 6 cylinder, but this is a general procedure for alternator upgrade on any Ford.

Can you send me the link for the ASI connector I need?

I used the same mounting holes from my 2g alternator
Awesome. It's such a good upgrade. Enjoy.
What size fuse did you use?
200 amp I believe. Just make sure to get higher than the alternator can put out. Selection was limited at my parts store. Good luck
@@jsquaredrepaired5017 what Gage wire did you use for the charging cable?
@@blakehavard717 I just looked and I used #4 ga cable and a 150 amp fuse.
@@jsquaredrepaired5017 okay I just ordered it but got the 250 amp one and I'll have to get some #4 gage

These 3g started in 94
Ok thanks.
