Pulley

[PointBlank]

Buddy of mine bought a 5.4 02 expy XLT without an alternator & belt, anyone know best alternator and happen to know the number of grooves on the pulley for the belt he's suppose to get? Thanks

Are you sure you don't want somebody to come over and install it for you too?

Count the number of grooves in one of the pulleys. Any alternator that has a lifetime warranty works for me.

I got one from Advance auto parts about a year ago. It seemed to perform fairly poorly with a lot of dimming and flickering of the lights. After doing the big 3 wiring upgrade it was still performing poorly. I figured maybe I got a 110amp instead of a 130 by mistake so I did a warranty exchange and it was the same. I just got a new one again a few weeks ago and this time I went with a 160amp from DB Electronics to make sure I was getting enough amperage. It was just over $200 but problem solved and should have more than enough juice for anything I will do.
