Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steven" data-source="post: 67567" data-attributes="member: 544311">rewinding an Alternator requires opening it up and changing the number of windings in the coils. Not something a DIY can do easily.Normally the main part of an alt that is design for specific vehicles is the chassis around it, except on gm alternators, there is an extra connection on the side of it, as far as i can tell this runs the voltmeter on the dash. A GM alternator won't fit in a ford vehicle without modifying either the alternator case, or the vehicles bracket. Changing an alternator is easy. loosen it, take the belt off, disconnect the wires, and remove. installation is the reverse of removal. Adding a second alternator or replacing yours with one that is not designed for your brand of vehicle will require designing a custom bracket to hold it in place.</blockquote>
