5mge alternator

Post by hosehustler »

hard to come by dual V belt model from the earlier engines, this was purchased by me a couple of years ago straight out of use as a spare at the time. I high mounted the alternator on my old truck and never had alternator troubles again but it always pays to carry a spare as I was doing plenty of winching.

You'd pay well over $100 for one of these at a wreckers now (if you could find one) so I'd like a reasonable offer for it or even better swap for a 1kzte one for my spares kit :P

Some of the earlier internally regulated ones were 180amps so a good replacement/spare if running winch etc.
cheers, Ive just been told I don't need any more spare parts... :-(

You won't need a spare for your 1kz tim. In the 4-5 years ive had mine ive cleaned it once after it stopped charging after towing back the LR from sheffield. Never had a prob offroad with it :mrgreen:

Hi Tim, known in the trade as a " Dulux Overhaul " :wink: . On another note when can we read a write up on how the New Surf is going and perhaps what good /bad points you have found , also anything you would do different if you where to do the build again, I mean now you are not out in the shed all day and night I am sure you have all the time in the world :lol: :lol: .

IS IT STILL A SHINY,

FITZY.
