Aftermarket alternator? - The Ford Focus Forum

**Fender** · 10-26-2009, 06:12 AM

Anyone know of any aftermarket alternators that fit the '05 2.0DT? Mine is about shot, starts clicking and making all kinds of racket when I'm running accessories.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Should be the same alternator.

BOSCH Part # AL7621X {Remanufactured Alternator - May Not Include Pulley}
w/MT, California* Non-stock item--shipping delayed up to 4 business days = 208 after core

or

BBB PRECISON Part # 8402 {Remanufactured - May Not Include Pulley}
w/MT, California = $160 after core.

Or you can go with a Ford part.

Are you sure it's not the belt tensioner? Maybe the extra load on the system causes the issue?

I just mentioned that the tensioners are a common issue from 03-05 on duratecs.

well ford said it was charging at 12 v or less when it should be about 14 iwas told

You are not the original poster.

The sound I'm hearing seems to be coming straight from the alt., but maybe it is the tensioner, that's what I first thought it might be. I'm getting good charging voltage...

Usually the problem always mounts to some aftermarket systems. I've ran into it all the time when wiring for trailers and such, the aftermarket system already puts a nasty strain on the alternator wearing it out quickly and mix it with a trailer putting a more severe strain you get one nasty electrical failure. My best guess would be the Alternator is failing.
