Mitsubishi made a HO alternator for Ford 7.3 applications in a large case 3G platform. I've found them on the 95 E350 HD Clug Wagon on the 7.3 motor. It appears it the 94-95 years E350 7.3 options, however when I do a parts search for the alternator itself https://alternatorstarterrebuildkits.com/product/3g/ I find a larger variety.
One hiccup I see w/ the current units is the lack of cooling and the use of the small case 6G. From what I can see is aside from a clocking to get the battery terminal in the right position the large case 3G should fit. It is internally regulated and it's a 3 wire plug just like the 6G.
I'm thinking of using this unit as it has the 8 groove pulley combined w/ an external cooling fan :thumbsup:
I"m curious, do we have any members near a salvage yard or a source to verify this? If it works it means a true, factory 215 AMP alternator w/ a standard size pulley AND fan. No more slippage w/ small pulleys and less heat related issues. I'd venture but a few need 300 amp units but a real 215 exciting a low RPM is nothing but win.
My Singer voltage regulator went out and Mike was great about getting a repair done but I'd love a decent HO option that can be easily rebuilt or acquired from any auto part store w/ dead it gets swapped warranty. No emails, no calls, no shipping. Just drive over to auto store, exchange and be on my merry f-in way.
PSA ideas?
