About Alternators

Alternators charge the battery and supply the electrical system while the engine runs. Demand on alternators has increased with electronic engine management, air-conditioning running constantly in hot climates, and accessories such as lights, winches and fridges on 4x4 pickups.

Frequently asked questions

Why do many diesel pickups have alternators with vacuum pumps?

Diesel engines do not produce intake manifold vacuum like gasoline engines, so a vacuum pump supplies the brake booster and other vacuum systems. On many vehicles it is mounted on the alternator and driven by its shaft.

Can a higher-amperage alternator be fitted?

Often, if mounting, pulley and connector match. Higher output helps vehicles with heavy accessory loads, but wiring and battery capacity should be checked.

What is a smart charging alternator?

An alternator whose output is controlled by the engine ECU through a communication signal rather than a fixed internal regulator. Replacement units must support the same control protocol.
