Alternator Mounting Issue


Recommended Posts

So finally got around to installing my alt. Issue is the new alt pulley sits out farther than the stock one. It definitely pulls the belt to one side and leaves a gap on the other. The picture I have is with the stock pulley on the new alt (the original pulley was another .25" farther out). Do you think this would cause rub/damage to the belt?

Whoa you don't want to mess with the pulley on the high output alt. Mine was like that and came with an 8-ribbed pulley which was longer of course but I only used the 6 ribs closest to the alt. Changing that pulley is going to affect the alt output if it is not the same diameter. You should have called before doing that.

Was the pulley the same size H.O pulley should be smaller .

let them know the issue and have it fixed by whoever you bought it from, u wanna run that smaller diameter pulley so the alt spins more producing more power.

if you leave original pulley it came with on it will chew up a lot of belts, but you do want that smaller diameter pulley on there

you could also maybe have them send the correct pulley and put it on yourself as well

I swapped the smaller pulley back on. I have an air impact drill at home, it makes it an easy swap. The issue isn't the pulley, it is how far the pulley sticks out. Do you see how the belt is pulling to the left? It was pulling even worse with the smaller pulley. My question is has anyone has this issue before where the pulley sits farther out causing the belt to pull one direction?

U want everything to be even or your belt will wear out faster ,make sure alt is mounted flush maybe some rust or a washer got stuck under it and if it is still uneven u need to call where u bought it something is not right

There is definitely nothing in the way. Got a second opinion from a mechanic friend of mine as well. I'll contact the seller and go from there. I just wanted to get another outside opinion before I contact the seller. Thanks for the input guys
