While detailing my engine bay last night,,, I was looking at my alternator just thinking the same thing... Sure wish I could have that powdercoated too...

 

[SANCHOBA]

well...hopefully someone has done this.

Damn! I was detailing under the hood yesterday and was thinking the same freakin' thing...great minds think alike. It would look a lot better than mine does right now.

The best thing to do is go to the junk yard get a used alt. take it apart send it off to be powered coated,then reassemble it useing the alt on the truck.

All you need is the housing.

The alts.are the same for several years of truck,you should be able to get one at a salvage yard for $35.00 to $45.00 dollars.

I think there are three long bolts that hold it all together,its not really that hard,if you get a used one,just take notes when you take it apart,and then it will be easy to reassemble.:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

 

[SANCHOBA]

[Brat]

okay,you go first

I might just do that.:rock:

Yeah, must be how they keep the cost so low on Viper products...:rofl:

I wouldn't bet on that low of a price - the alternators are different for all of the different engine sizes across the RAM line, and the SRT-10s are unique with the 8.3. This info per Patrick/Dragon's website at www.avondalewholesaleparts.com

I haven't done a Dodge alternator, but with the GM one's I did back in the 80s, the most challenging part was getting the spring loaded brushes back onto the armature and pressing the pulley off and on to the shaft. Not that big of a deal with the correct puller/installer.
