I hope you guys can help me out. Picked up a 130 amp alternator from an 00 Explorer SOHC 4.0 today to replace the alt in my 95 4.0 (ohv) ranger. I thought i read that it would be a simple swap, but have since realized I misread. The Ex alt has the main power wire, and two other wires. my current alt has the main power, 3 wires in a plug, and one other. any way to make it work? I didn't pay very much for the alt, so if it can't be done, no big deal.

 

Did you install your alternator? how'd it work out for you?

 

haven't installed yet. too many other things going on

 

put it in tonight. took me about 10 minutes. works like a champ!

 

How did u set it up with the one wire not in use? The white/black one.
