Alternator quit

[dspithaler@...]

Bill I didn't get the parts no off the Alternator before we put it in . I
should have for my own records but didn't. The no on the box it came in is
8LHA2070VE & the no on a instalation sheet inside the box is 8LHA 8LHP. I
think they are the same. It is a 160 amp & seems to be working good so far. I
got it at a Freightliner Truck shop in Ocala, FL It was $155.00 which was
about the same as a Delco Remy. Randy called & got the price but he said he
didn't get any better price that anyone else. It was suppose to be $300.00 But
Randy said they buy in volume & get a better price. I was quoted $385.00 at a
alternator shop for one. I don't know what the difference was. I didn't have to
change anything It is a J180 mount It had a Red Positive wire out to the
batteries & a black negative out to ground on the engine. You might have to
press the pulley off the old one as they don't come with one. You will have to
Torque it back to 40 to 50 ft. lbs. with the nut supplied with the
alternator. If yours is a Motorola it is a good core so it might be rebuild
able.But if
you can get one for the price I did & it is good it doesn't pay to rebuild
them. I'll take a chance on it as long as I have a good Genny.My old one had
three bolt holes one the top & the new one only has one.

That's probably more than you wanted to know ///////////

Don, what is the part no. and amp rating, and approximate cost of
unit? Did you have to change anything? I went to a bus forum and they
had nos. for school buses, are they the same? Will the pulley fit?
More questions than you want? Thanks, Bill, 90 SP 36, Conway AR.
