3B alternator replacement (1 Viewer)

[samuelsmith]

My 1987 BJ73 alternator stopped charging, took it to my local place and he says he can't get the parts to fix it. It's a 3B 24v, anybody have a source to find one? I'm searching but don't see much to buy.

Thanks

The "Start Shop" in Albuquerque was able to replace the internal voltage regulator on my 24V alternator last year. The parts are out there somewhere (I wish I knew where...). They cleaned up the alternator with a wire wheel (ruined some rubber parts) and sprayed it to look 'purdy'. I just wanted a VR, but oh well. Give them a call and see what they can do for you. I am totally unaffiliated, so hopefully it works out well if you call them. (505) 255-1883. I don't have any solutions for an actual replacement.

I think he gets them rebuilt routinely.

@FJ60Cam did a spectacular job with my 24v unit.

Highly recommend.
