Thread: Best Aftermarket Alternator?

  1. #1

    Default Best Aftermarket Alternator?

    I've seen people run 12 volt alternators on the 24 volt systems. What would be the best one to put on the truck?

    A lot of guys use the GM one wire types because they are easy to wire in and put out a good amount of amps...pretty much the same to wire up and put a belt on.

    I was thinking how a 12v alternator can charge a 24v system? (2 batterys)

    They can't. Most 12v alts are add ons for accessorys. Or the truck was converted to 12v.

    I was thinking conversion too.

    Of course theres the dual setup where there are both 12 and 24 volt alts and 3 batteries...still a conversion but not just one way or the other.

    Then how does a boat alternator (12 volt) charge the batteries for 24 and 36 volt electric trolling motor system???? I hate electrical systems......

    Google 24V alternators and you will find marine alternators with this output. I've been chasing this solution for my 6.2 project with a 24V HMMWV injection pump and found the simplest solution right around the corner at a little electrical rebuild shop that took one of my 12V CUCV alternators and rebuilt it as a 24V one wire for $60. I was going to use the stock 24V alt on a HMMWV alternator mount but there wasn't enough room.

    You guys know that the newer hmmwv alts have 12v and 24v outputs right?
