I’ll check with the rebuilder tomorrow. Sure would save lots of grief for many.

FIXED!!!! Went back to the rebuilder. They dug deeper and found there are two different rectifiers for the same alternator. The two new ones and the original rebuilt had the wrong one. They still had the original, swapped it and voltmeter is correct now. Thanks for the help guys, but...

I did something easy. I ordered a voltmeter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It will tell me all is good until I can get it up to Rich’s shop to diagnose.

I’m using an Optima charger/tender 13.3v prior to each test. 2 new alternators set the guage to 0. I put the old one back in prior to getting it “rebuilt” voltage was fine. Get it rebuilt voltage 0. I’m taking the wiring manual and the alternator back to the rebuilder. Hopefully the...

After 19 years and 85,000 miles the alternator was squealing when cold. Ordered a new Bosch unit. Looks perfect. Installed started the car and the volt meter read zero. Test drove 5 mi and battery voltage was higher after test. Pulled the new unit, replaced with original. Volt meter is...

Any Luck? Car is still down.

I’m checking with Torrie to see if he can beat $1,180.

Either way o have checked all online sources I could find. The last one called me and said they contacted Timken. Timken said the part was discontinued.

Who did the work? Cost? My next step is the Ford part if they exist. Cheapest is $1,180 per corner.

Pro Gear just called. Refunding my money, part doesn’t exist. This is the second time a parts store said they had something when they didn’t.

From what I read they are not serviceable. The bearings are sealed. I thought you could press them out then insert new ones. From what I read in several sources they are not rebuildable. the vendor claims they shipped, but their warehouse has not forwarded tracking info. Hopefully I’ll get...

Thanks ultrasport, 4 are on their way to TX. Might be drivable by the weekend.

Where do I place the order? Thanks for your help Ultrasport. I’ll take 4.

Unobtainium unless you want to go for the Ford part

I pulled the earlier email, this was the place that cancelled the order. The price went up slightly, maybe they found some. Otherwise I can’t find this part # anywhere.

Thanks, I placed an order with a different Canadian parts house yesterday that said they were in stock, received an email later in the day that they were out of stock and they cancelled the order. I placed an order here. If they have inventory I’ll let you know. If not calling Timken tomorrow.

I just had one fail. I can’t find the Timiken part anywhere. Northwood mentioned rebuilding. The ford part is now $1,100. Any ideas?

Have I missed the details?

You can get boots to cover the bushings from another forum member. Do a search and it should pop up. I bought a set a few years back. They work great.
