NEED HELP PICKING THE RIGHT alternator FOR MY TRUCK

I always get my alt., starters re-built by a reputable shop in the area, that way you can keep your own core and you know it'll fit. Never had nothing but good luck.

 

Will this mod work for the 2.7l?

 

I’ve never really looked into it. If you really need to know try creating a post about it

 

Yes it does.
I did this years ago. There is a 'plug & play' wiring adapter that your OEM plug plugs into then onto the alternator.

 

Nice, thank you!

Changed mine in the dark in an Autozone parking lot in Albuquerque with my wife holding the flashlight. I was lucky it burnt out NOT in the sticks. I was driving from Dallas to Moab.

It's pretty simple aside from figuring out the tensioner on the bottom, once it's out you get a good look at how it all works and helps with reassembly.
