Alternator rebuild kit
Anyone know where to find a rebuild kit for a 100amp 3rd gen alternator? I believe the voltage regulator on mine on my FC crapped out cause i had to keep the RPMs above 1500 for it to charge. I really hate to get a reman one from anywhere cause i know the quality is more miss than hit, and i can’t find anyone locally that rebuilds them
TIA

I just verified that it is my alternator, i took the battery out to charge it, grabbed a test light and put it on the main + battery cable and the + on the battery and it lit up and pulsated. So i put it on the main lug on the alternator and put it on the + of the battery and i got the same result, so I’m fairly certain the regulator went bad
Just out’ve curiosity, i have a s4 alternator that was a reman, could i just swap out the regulator? Are they the same?

I went out and tried to see if maybe i didn’t get the pulley tight enough, but all i did was spin the engine with my breaker bar. So i started it, and it shot up to 14 volts. I left it running, and turned the headlights, heater, radio, and rear defrost on. We’ll see how its doing after i eat breakfast

Not to beat what is probably already a dead horse, but since a new alternator or a rebuild kit is already in your future, I'd go for the Taurus alternator. Cheap, available, and rebuildable at (almost) any shop. It will probably be easier in the long run.

I have seriously considered the taurus alt, but the 7 is my summer daily/gas saver so i wanted to get it back going quickly with a quick bolt on and go....which i kind’ve got

not quite sure what that means, but IMO its not a sign of quality
and in the 21st century very few companies selling stuff in the US actually makes or does anything, typically its just a reboxed part from somewhere. or in other words, since everyone buys the cheapest part, the brand literally means nothing anymore.
