    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    Has anyone here bought that rebuild kit off of ebay and had success with it? I'm leaning in the direction of buying this kit off of ebay, I need to find out exactly which 3G I have. I THINK its off of a '94 mustang but I can't be sure. There is a number 5 on the casing of the alternator, but...

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    How hard would it be for me to rebuild it myself? Where can I get a kit somewhere or is it not worth the effort?

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    No, where can I get it checked? Also, there is a slight wobble in the pulley when it spins, and its making dust from the belt collect on the alternator housing, I have a feeling it will either need to be overhauled or replaced. Question is is it more cost affective to overhaul or get a...

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    I have a 3G alternator that is making a clicking sound when I spin it by hand (its off the car cause I'm replacing the pulley to a smaller 1 7/8" pulley). Is this clicking normal? If not, should I rebuild it? Or get a rebuild unit or new unit? Or should I just keep using this one until it...

    should I use 20w50 synthetic in my 331 Stroker?

    I'm wondering if its a good idea to use 20w50 in my 331 stroker, atleast during the spring and summer months in NJ?? That should reduce the friction greater since the 10w30 oil will be less viscous as it warms up. Also, my oil pressure does seem to go fairly low (20 psi at idle) when the...

    Fiberglass Rear Hatch for an 87

    Garystocker, did you ever get that hatch from that place in Jackson? If so, how much did it cost and what was the quality like? Is it still rust proof? My hatch is rusting out and I thought about going to a shop to get it fixed but figured it would be more worth my time and money to get a...

    fed up with MAACO!! need good shop for central jersey

    Well, I guess what I mean is that I paid about $1200 for the paint job from Maaco (which was supposed to include the rust being fixed), so I'd like whatever fixing needs to be done now to get rid of the rust and rotouch to be less to or equal, but not more than that. Honestly, if I had known...

    fed up with MAACO!! need good shop for central jersey

    I had my black GT repainted about 2 years ago at Maaco and am regretting it BIG time! First of all, I paid them extra to fix my rust spots, and about a year into the paint job the spots started coming through again. In total, I paid like $1200 for the paint/CC combo and fixing the rust spots...

    3G Alternator & Idle Problems

    What exactly is that plug or where did you get it because I do NOT have it? The 4# wire you have coming off of the bolt goes to the starter solenoid?

    3G Alternator & Idle Problems

    How many wires should be hooked up to that bolt coming out the back of the alt? I have the 4# wire I put in with a ring terminal going to the starter solenoid, but then I also have a stock looking wire hooked up to the same bolt via a ring terminal I crimped onto the end that routes to what...

    need help tracking down electrical problem

    Ok, I hooked up a jumper cable from the negative battery post to a bolt holding the altenator in place and no change, the voltage still drops at the stock guage in the instrument cluster. The same still happened when I turned on the headlights and kept the jumper cable in place. Sooo, does...

    Installed MM stainless steel brake hoses in the front

    But this may not be for a short time, I won't replace the hose until I get a chance, which can be months.

    Installed MM stainless steel brake hoses in the front

    I put in my MM stainless steel brake hoses in the front this last week, and they look good! Only problem is that I didn't feeling like putzing around with the rear brake hose because its kinda hard to get to without a lift and everything was rusted. Sooo, I just left the stock rear brake hose...

    OEM brake calipers and drums

    Where should I get OEM brake calipers and drums from? Should I go right to Ford or will Pepboys are some other auto shops carry OEM parts? If not, does Pepboys or these other auto parts stores have good aftermarket parts?
