Wanting to do a few mods ect make it more mine. Youll all understand. Whats the highest output alternator everyone has fitted to theres? I have heard you can have a 140amp on a 300tdi.

Hercu Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Muddy ...It did fit on top hanging bolt but bottom small (Difficult) tensioner hole do not exist on merc alt. The body diameter is bigger and quarter inch hard rubber conveyor belt between engine and alt. worked well. The tensioner gave enough tension for it to work without the bottom bolt.
