So idk to much about vehicles and their mechanics but i bought a Powermaster Alternator - Alternator - Ford 3G - Large Frame Transverse Mounting - 200 Amp - 130 Idle - 6 Groove Pulley - OE Only - Natural for my 2001 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC. I bought it from partsgeek.com because it was cheap and multiple people recommened the website. If you're wondering why 200 amps its because i am trying to run 2 12 and 1000 watt amp so i bought high amps just to be safe because when i first put the system in the guy wired it wrong and ruined the stock alternator and battery. I now have it wired correctly. But anyways so i have friend that was going to put the powermaster in for free. But he says it is a different mounting from the stock one he took out he also stated that the powermaster has 2 connector spots where as the stock one taken out of it only had one we didnt hook it up because he was afraid to hook it up and mess things up more. So any advice or help is appreciated i spent 250 on this alternator and if it doesnt fit then i will be spending more on a smaller 130 amp alternator which im not sure is enough to handle the system. Maybe it will be maybe it wont honestly i know nothing about nothing right now teach away ive been learning alot through this whole ordeal its alit more complex than i ever would have thought. I really would like to get this Alternator installed so i can start driving again and finally have my system working properly.
