- WHY DO I KEEP BUYING DODGES?!?!?
I was at the U-Pull yesterday with a friend and was skimming thru the Ford Explorers and spied what looked like a brand new alternator in a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0 OHV sport(2-door). I snatched it up for $27.50, after recalling that the Tech Library (http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/alternator.htm) said my 1999 3.0 ranger would have a 95-amp and that the 4.0 OHV one is the same, and walking over to a 3.0 ranger with a 3.0 and making sure the mounts lined up. I brought ti to O'Reilleys to have them test is for free, but they only do a "PASS/FAIL" test so I have no clue what amperage it is. It passed, and I feel it was totally worth the $27.50 with core charge and tax to keep as a spare, but mostly had an eye towards it being an upgraded 130 amp since apparently 96-98 4.0 Explorer's had a 130 amp alternator standard, so I figured a 2000 4.0 would as well.
It looks like this:
Top view of connectors:
Silver sticker says "A0110L" and the other one says "Original Equipment Quality Certified"
The Plastic says "Motorcraft" with "VP4L2U-10316-AA" under it and "GROUND HERE TO TEST" under that, and by the 3-pin plug, it says "07H06C A". The casting says "Motorcraft" with a "10" casted by the connector.
Another view:
So essentially, I'm sure i got a got deal on a barely used alternator that apparently passed testing, but I'd like to know if it's a 130 amp like I hope, or just another 95 like the one in my Ranger -and hopefully confirm that the Tech Library and I got it right in assuming this will work in my truck. Thanks.
