H.O. alternator swap/Dual alt kit install pg.2
This will probably be my only tech write up I do because it deals with electronics. Anyways, my electrical system could not hold the necessary voltage so I decided to upgrade my alt.
Iraggi 300 amp alt
OEM on the left/new alt on right
Pic of serpentine belt lay out
Pic of the Serpentine belt tensioner on the far left
Alternator bracket
New Alternator installed
tools used were a 15mm/10mm/5/8" socket
- 15mm for depressing the belt tensioner.
- 5/8" for removing the mounting bolts
- 10mm for removing the positive nut on the alt.
From start to finish, the swap out took an hour and that included running to autozone to pick up a socket and I am a novice. When/if/even if you don't upgrade your alternator, it is recomended that you upgrade your charging leads(Big 3)(the red 0 gauge wires you see) if you run a heavy electrical load.
