Reviews
I can\u2019t make out the sound but once upgraded the alternator on my 29 roadster pu that had a late model bronco v6 in it and the darn thing sounded like I had a super charger with the whirling. Crazy sound but ran perfectly fine for as long as I had the truck (years).
Pros: ran perfectly fine
Cons: sounded like super charger
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
First gen Expedition- I'm not a Ford fan, but some of those old Expeditions were amazing. Definitely seem to be hit or miss, either bulletproof or a nightmare with no in between. My father had a 98 that he bought new and scrapped in 2019 with just shy of 500k miles, absolutely beat the living shit out of that truck and it just wouldn’t die, only ever needed an alternator, 2 shifter cables, a brake hose and 2 ignition coils.
Pros: bulletproof, wouldn’t die
Cons: hit or miss
Vehicle:
Ford Expedition
Mileage: 500000 km

I have one with 44k miles sitting in the garage right now with a bad TPS and an oil leak.
The last drive down the street saw me with a dead alternator and blown alternator fuse. Replacing those two resulted in the above surprises afterwards.
Even replacing the alternator is a half day knuckle busting job assuming you know what you are doing.
Cons: bad TPS, oil leak
