does this conversion only work with the serpentine belt setup...or can you use the v-belt pulley off the old one?

Check out the 3G write-up on the BroncOhio web site at:
http://www.broncohio.com

It's a pretty good one for getting the 3G into an Early Bronco... <IMG SRC="smilies/bounce.gif" border="0">

Next question is how many 3G's have Dustin, Jim, Brian, and whoever else burned up b/c they're crap? (and don't put out 130A anyway)

Methinks it isn't worth the trouble.

Mine was still going fine up to when I pulled the engine, will be going into my f-250 soon. I know that Jim went through at least two of them.

I burned out two before I learned not to hold the power window switches too long <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I'm running a 100A large-case alt now, with external regulator.

saf-t scissors · 10-26-2001, 10:09 AM

So if the power windows were burning out the regulator, how would it stand up to long winching sessions? Seems to me like Jim told a story about burning up his alt, then his spare, then having to get a ride to Wal-Mart to buy batteries to get home.

My point is that the large-frame alt is more durable, puts out more current, and the 3G self-destructs if you look at it cross-eyed, and puts out less current at idle than the stock unit.

Not defending the 3G alt but I think the only reason someone would swap in a 3G over a large-case alt is that the 3G is pretty much almost a direct bolt-in where fab work is required for a large-case.
