6 cyl Alternator Swap Questions
So I researched until my eyes bled using the forum search function. I know I probably could research Google but frankly I'm tired so I'll just ask.
I found that my 250 alternator has 12 and 6 o'clock mounting points and the connector is at 3 o'clock. I also need a V belt pulley. I am going to be upgrading the truck with modern amenities like headlight relays, power windows, stereo...so on. I figure 100amps is mininmum for what I need. I found an alternator on Summit Racing.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tff-7127-100 The price seems right but I think I might be buying a Chinese product again. Anyone have experience with Tuff Stuff? Anyone have a better option within my parameters?

Re: 6 cyl Alternator Swap Questions
The best question is how much stereo are you going to do.....AMPS subs, high powered deck??? I would really suggest a 140amp and summit has the PowerMaster 47294 which is for your truck. Its a bit higher price, but with all the added amp draw you are adding I would want to be safe.

Re: 6 cyl Alternator Swap Questions
The stereo will be humble because it will all be hidden (more on that later
![]() Budget matters too. I am moving the battery behind the LR tire and unwrapping and modifying the front harness to delete the external regulator and include a new headlight harness. Everyone of my projects starts to snowball after a while. I need to pump the brakes and show some restraint. If I can upgrade the charging system now I can upgrade to a larger alternator later if need be.
