I am thinking about going to the junkyard tomorrow to get an alternator. What cars will have a 3G alternator? What else should I get from a car that has a 3G? Just cut the wires someplace?

I wish I had the link, but I know one of them has a big long list, and most of them aren't clocked correctly to be mounted the way the 3g does. Try a search for 6g* .. I remember reading a big long thread about that not too long ago here with some good info in it.

See http://www.geocities.com/smithmonte/Auto/3G_130A_Alternator_Upgrade.htm - all the tech data you could ever want to know, including what other cars had the 3G alternator.

Click to expand...

Cuz some people have no money right now like me and want to improve my car and if I can get a 3g 130 amp alternator and harness for $11.31 and for another 2 extra dollars a 30 day warranty...Im doing it hah (at least till I can get a newer one)....if its a lifetime warranty it prob means its a reman and will crap out in like 6 months lol my friend has gone through soo many advance auto starters n alternators one after the other, he got a New one from pep boys, still going after 3 years so far, but I dont think it has a lifeimte warranty.
