i read this searching around...


and im wondering what year range out of an explorer?

thanks!

 

depending on what model ur current altenator is any exploder from 1998+ will work. im pretty sure ur ranger runs a small case 3G and those exploders (1998-2002/3) use a large case.

 

well maybe that information above is false info.

autozone lists the same alternator for the explorer and the ranger. 130amp, so i must have a 130 now.

 

ill have to look at sarahs and my moms then see.

heres how u can tell what u have

small case (95A) 3G:


large case (130A) 3G:


4G:


6G:

 

ok sweet

thanks. does it just say on the side? the rating? (edit: somehow you knew i was gonna ask.)

i think mine is going bad. it just doesnt keep the volt guage up, and my heater fan changes rpm from idle and crusing speeds. this has been going on for a while now.


i imagine getting water and snow packed around the alternator doesnt help this.

 

u say urs is going bad, how long has this been going on? since u installed the e-fans? because they draw quite a bit of juice, especially on start up.

 

no way before that prolly last few months

 

zach we sell brand new high output alternators on our site, so you dont have to mess with a junkyard, youll know youre getting a brand new alternator (not reman!)

 

Recently installed a brand new large case 3G 160A alternator with HD voltage regulator and rectifier.... The difference between the small case and the large case is more heat removal and larger windings....
The large case 3G is a plug and play direct swap out for the small case alternator.....
