- This is a follow up of my Part 1 video. In this video I used the following products:
Swing bolt: www.fastenal.com/products/det...
Tension bolt: Dorman 980-425D
Ground stud bolt for the back of the alternator: Dorman 980-420D
Stator wire connector: www.amazon.com/Pico-5747pt-Fo...
3 pin wire connector: www.autozone.com/electrical-a...
Bussmann 150A circuit breaker: www.autozone.com/starting-cha... - Авто та транспорт
Can you make another video of EXACTLY where each pos & neg battery hooks up to what & where...plus any other additional wires .

@sclemmons1 thanks for the link ...a few pics are no longer available but there is one decent photo of where all the battery cables etc go to .
@faronf2006 If you google "Ford 3G alternator wiring diagram," you'll find dozens of identical images and diagrams.
Looks good 👍🏻
Thank you!
Have you had issues with the belt chirping on startup? I converted my 86 F250 from 2G to 3G like 8 years ago and I can't get more than 5k miles out of an alternator belt ever since. I have to run the belt so tight to keep it from squealing it's ridiculous. Belt brand doesn't matter much, although goodyear gatorback or continential belts have done the best. I have no real need for 130 amps and I'm going to convert mine to 1G since I have had good luck with those on other vehicles. Certainly not putting a 2G back in that thing.
Never had an issue with belt chirping. Is your truck a V or serpentine belt?.
@@sclemmons1 It's single V belt like yours is. I even installed an oversized alternator pulley to slow the alternator down, that helped but once the belt gets to be like 6 months old it just chirps.
@@MattsRageFitGarage which engine?
@@sclemmons1 351W. The pulley setup is the same as your 302. One mistake I made was years ago when I took all of the horrible condition nonfunctioning smog equipment off is I tossed that cast iron alternator/smog pump combo mount and made my own top mount. I doubt that is the issue as it's mounted very solid, but I did buy a CVF racing billet alternator mount kit for it to get rid of my home-made stuff.
@1986FordF-250 I'd check the belt alignment with a ruler to see if and how far off they could be.
Did you have to make clearance for anything? Other then clocking it?
No, it was very much plug an play after that.
@sclemmons1 what wiring kit did you end up buying for this conversion...or did you just get one from the auto wreckers ?
@@faronf2006 Sorry, saw your comment for the 1st time today. I had an old 4 gauge battery cable that I cut up and used.
