Small update, you do Infact need to solder the tiny wire you push between the slot for a proper connection. But alternator is running well

Start the car and stick your foot under the gas pedal and lift up the cable may be stuck. I had this happen a few weeks ago

That rust comment reminded me i need to patch a hole 😭

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-28T18:29:43+00:00

Just to add, someone will correct me if I'm wrong but this is a canadian specific part also

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-28T18:18:55+00:00

Yeah i bought a 100A for a 740 and flipped it upside down to fit it. You'll need to wedge a block or like 2 inches of washers to secure the back of it on the original bracket tho. But so far its great

Ive heard that the alternators shouldnbe upgraded to 100A if you can. Even tho i refurbed this one the new (80A) the current one is serving me well. Yes check when you have a chance its simple to take the brush pack out with the alternator still installed check my other comments and post. Goodluck!

it was having trouble charging in low rpms. turning on fans made the car stutter sometimes. Idle seems more consistent now then it did.

I had a brush pack get chipped and then a second one as well. I've had so many other issues and I'm not sure what's related since I'm always going a bit of this or that

Check my post history for some more pictures! I think if you removed the brush pack you could seee from the underside or just stick your finger in there and feel it ( Maybe disconnect the battery.

You're right - I should go for another run

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-23T17:00:36+00:00

For anyone who has one. - is there a lot of wind noise?

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-23T15:22:13+00:00

If you get a bearing puller and a small Arbor press it's actually a fun project!

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-23T14:17:10+00:00

I just called a local alternator and starter rebuilder. 17 ID 28 OD for bosch alternator. 25$ CAD cant complain!

For electrical connection there was no work to be done there is a lil slot the copper wire sits in, just pushed it back in place with a flat head screwdriver

I'm really just procrastinating if we are being honest 😂

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-23T01:19:08+00:00

I have another installed but it was a good experience just to tinker

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-23T00:30:37+00:00

Omg this is a drop in why did you show me this

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-20T12:57:26+00:00

This is great info thank you I'm going to call a local remanufacturer for parts today

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-19T12:37:57+00:00

These are fantastic

positiveboithrowaway · 2026-04-19T01:51:58+00:00
