Hey guys,
I have just mounted a separate alternator above the air con pump on my Mu.
It is from a Mitsubishi l200 petrol Ute and has 2 wires coming from it.
The 4JB1 alt has 3 wires and I was told that one maybe to drive the rev counter??
Has anyone done this sort of thing before and how hard is it to wire in?
I have done this because I am sick of killing the original alt as it is way too low for water crossings etc.
I have left the original there because of the vacuum pump plus the other is 50 % larger so is better for the electric winch.
Thanks
Roger
The original is disconnected from the wiring loom, it is only there for the vacuum pump.
We often run in mud and water that goes up to 1/2 way up the motor so a splash shield is a waste of time as the alt is under water not getting splashed by it.
