I went from one extreme to the opposite here.I can only laugh at this point. I'm sure this will work for a week until my belt shreds to dental floss from the wobble of the alternator forward and backward. I get about 1-2 mm of forward/aft movement with the alt in and the bolt cranked down. Now the problem is.is that the alternator is too small/narrow for the mount. No idea what this useless spacer is for other than perhaps something smooth for the alternator to swivel against once it's actually in place. As you can see, I "broke" off this stupid little washer looking thing on forward mount of the alternator itself. Sometimes, something so simple as an alternator replacement can really kick your ass to the point of feeling defeat.Īnyways, I broke the damn alternator trying to squeeze it in yesterday lol. So this has turned out to be the biggest small ticket PITA I have come across to date on my 3rd Gen. OEM, or at the very least it's a rebuilt OEM unit, which will work fine. That last photo has the stamp ND, which is short for Nippon-Denso. Old vs New from Quality Power, I painted it with POR15 caliper paint so it would stand up to mtbtimĮrs/nc-grayson-albums-nc-grayson-picture4680.jpg
It did have stampings but I chucked it in the garbage because of the corrosion. I didn't see a sticker on my old one but it could have come off over the years, it was the 16yo original. Tough to tell, a lot of the auto parts store crap are rebuilt Denso's with cheap internals. The last thing I want to do is replace it with another parts-store brand that'll just start dying in months to come. The last thing I want to do is replace it with another parts-store brand that'll just start dying in months to mtbtim Any chance the sticker came off over the years? Or am I looking at an aftermarket brand alt here? It's been bench tested and it puts out solid numbers, but there's no Toyota/Denso sticker. It came out of a 99 4 Runner so I assumed it'd fit right in to my 2000. to the naked eye, it looks like there is NO way the Alt will fit in the mounting bracket with that "washer" thing there on the aft side of the forward mount.Ĭan anyone tell me if this alternator is an OEM denso based on these pics? This is the alt I picked from the yard. I can see the "washer", (which is actually more like a sleeve running through the front mount), and it looks like your alternator has the same flush mounting surface as the one I'm working with.so I guess I didn't muscle it enough yesterday. Your video shows me exactly the same situation I'm up against. If you don't need to get the truck on the road right away, either order some brushes online or visit you local Toyota dealer for a mtbtim Worn out brushes will cause the alternator to not charge effectively or not charge at all.

Since you already have this alternator free of the engine, you might want to replace the brushes before putting it in. The final adjustment to line up the alternator with the bracket so you could get the pivot bolt threaded in was to use a small telescoping mirror to figure out which way I needed to move the alternator to get the holes to line up perfectly. I worked it into the bracket with my hands first and then tapped it into place more using a long breaker bar. I don't know if the infamousRNRĪnd I made will help you or not, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to see how we maneuvered it in place. When I pulled the alternator out of my 2000 to replace the brushes, it fought me going back in. If you pulled it out of a 3rd Gen it will go back into another 3rd Gen.
