That is an *unreasonably* clean Bronco. Very nice. Thing's certainly worth more than my house 😅

Dude this is awesome, I’ve been having some problems on my 1991, and have a hard time finding videos specifically for broncos. Literally every video you have made is what I plan on eventually doing to my truck. Love it, keep it up with the engine component upgrades!!! Sick ride!!!

More to come, thank you.

This is a necessary upgrade to modernize your truck, my electric cooling fans were sucking too much power. Now I have the extra power needed if I want further upgrades.

This is one of the first upgrades I did to my 91 F150 and it was such a good move. Hope you enjoy it! Would love to see the electric fan install! That's something I'm also looking to do in the future.

Fuck yeah I wanna see those electric fan videos

This is a fantastic video. I would have changed out the old connectors but it is extra splicing. Your trick to keep the ground pigtail with some basic soldering is also clutch. Your overview of the custom electrical is also hella useful. Thanks for the great video!

I did the 3G conversion on my 1990 f150 5.0 but I risked it and got a Foxbody 3g alternator conversion kit off LMR website even the sales rep I spoke to didn’t even know if it was going to work and it bolted up perfectly I didn’t even have to disassemble and counter clock wise or nothing . Had it for 2 years not one problem

I am located in the California desert where temps can climb to 115. I went through some trial and error to find the correct cooling setup and the fan/radiator combo I ended with have lasted 2 years so far strong. Engine temps rarely climb over 200 on hottest day idling with a/c. Electric fans can be customizable to your temperature needs.

Hello, I just recently did this exact mod down to a T the same way you did on my 92 Bronco 5.0, and I’m getting a stinky smell from the alternator and it gets hot after only a few minutes of running. I’m not sure what the deal is but something certainly doesn’t seem kosher. I just wanted to pick your brain. All parts were bought via the links in the description.

@TheFixTech

7 ай бұрын

Does it smell like something is burning? Check make sure nothing is touching the exhaust manifold. You can have the alternator checked at you local auto parts store, could possibly be a defective unit.

So is your alternator replacement considered a small frame or large frame 3g? It’s important I guess because a large may not fit with any amount of grinding and modification?? Really appreciate the videos, they are a huge help and time saver.

@TheFixTech

9 ай бұрын

I would consider this to be a medium size as the 200 amp is slightly larger but will still fit. You can also use the factory bracket off 94-96 trucks as they will support larger alternators without modification.

I've been trying to remove the bottom bolt and I've gotten it almost out but now it'll just spin in the hole. I don't know if I just need to wiggle the alternator a little bit while im losening it or what but some advice would be appreciated.

Great video. Will save me am lot of grief for sure. One question. Someone butchered up the wiring on my Bronco. Where do the wires run to that come off the plug with the yellow, green and white wires attached to the alternator?

@TheFixTech

9 ай бұрын

If upgrading to a new 3g alternator the white wire goes to the stater plug (single wire back of alternator) the yellow is to the fusible link, and the green is to the chassis wiring via a pigtail connection.

Just recently did this swap, the whole setup was easy however I’m getting a squeal at idle when you first start the truck, any ideas? It only does it until the battery reaches around the 13-14 volt mark.

@TheFixTech

5 ай бұрын

Is the belt brand new? A squeal is usually a sign of the tensioner/idler pulley going bad. If the alternator has a bigger pulley on than the original try swapping the pulley or use a slightly larger belt.

Correct, only replace if needed. Some pigtails will crumble when touched due to age

I changed out my alternator and it turn on and ran fine mechanically how it does but my battery voltage reads low but drives fine and turns on and off better then before what do u think it could be

Is the new connector at the beginning you showed just a replacement for if the old one is no good ?

Im somehow still unclear on the alternator sizing. Is this the large case (with 8.25" spacing between bolt ears) or the small (7" spacing). I have a 460 in a 90 f350 with the small case setup and would like to upgrade to 130 amp. Not sure what alternator i need to buy.

when I click on your posted link Amazon says it will not fit a 1988 XLT 5.8 which is basically the same Bronco you have. Is that because of the mod to the alternator mounting bracket? if you answered this sorry I missed it, I have installed Flexalight electric fans 20 years ago and they work great. With 70-75 amp alternator but stepped the idle up for SoCal ops when in traffic I just put in Neutral but would rather upgrade it. Flexalight was much easier than your Efan install. Did not have remove radiator, in my case you anchor fans to the frame and you can adjust the temp with a dial on the computer to whatever you want. Thanks nice post.

What alternator did you use?

This exact alternator will work for an 86 efi 5.0 bronco? I’m about to upgrade to an aluminum radiator with electric fans. Are all the plugs exactly the same ? I guess what Im saying is, this is exactly what I need to order to do the swap in my 86 and change the pulley to the small notch pulley ??

If your current alternator has the internal regulator then yes. Check your alternators wiring if it is the same as shown in the video. If not then you have a 1g alternator which can still be upgraded to the shown 3g but you will need a newer regulator.

Hey bro im also doing videos on my truck

Please tell me the model number of the alternator.

Got a ‘93 f150 with a 3G 95amp that’s on its way out. Do you happen to know if it’s a simple plug n play swapping to a 3G 120 amp? I’m sure I’ll have to modify the bracket to fit the larger 120amp, just not too knowledgeable about wiring, fuses, etc.

@TheFixTech

10 ай бұрын

I believe for your setup it is simply a plug and play, no modification needed for wiring or bracket. Certain OBS models have dual wiring with two parallel fusible links coming from the alternator charge wire. Check your wiring at the starter solenoid if that’s the case you are golden, if not it is still a thicker gauge than the 2g alternators and should be able to support 120amps. You can always upgrade the wire later on as it will not become a problem until you add more demanding electric power such as high amp stereo systems abs or lighting/electric fans, ect…
