I couldn's afford to keep the 9a34. I returned it. Got my $133 back and put $100 of it towards the Deka 9a31... My front battery is a duralast gold. I would of loved to have put the 9a34 up there. Just couldn't afford it. I was thinking when when I have another $100 to spend I might get another Deka 9a31 for my front battery?

I can get this alternator on ebay for $109 Ford Explorer Ranger F 150 Alternator 200 Amp 91 00 | eBay

Wouldn't that be better than my stock 130amp alternator??? I'm on a budget and don't want to spend $300-$400 on an alternator...

I'll pick up another battery as soon as I can then. Maybe if Chris has another one I'll get another deka Firday when I get paid. I might see if I can fab somthing up in the meantime to accept a 9a31... My dad owns a body shop and I've done a lot of custom metal fabrication...

Its a tight squeeze in there bro good luck

A challenge! Now I have to. I just went and took a look at it. I think I can do it? The only problem I see is the proportioning valve and brake lines for the master cylinder. They just need to be relocated about two inches towards the cab. That shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll mess with it this weekend.

i have a 98 ranger by the way. Not sure what year you worked on. But besides the proportioning valve. Its pretty wide open in there.
