ALTERNATOR AND "F" ENGINES (1 Viewer)

[4lowNgo]

I need to replace the alternator on my 86 FJ60, and found one that the seller describing it as "a 8/1980 to 9/1983 Factory Toyota re-manufactured alternator for Toyota Land Cruisers with a 2F engine".

So, this won't work on my 86 2F?? I don't know the engines that well and wanted to turn to the experts!

If, indeed, it doesn't "Fit", then what's your recommendation for a replacement?

Thanks all!

if it helps, the alt from my 86 fj60 fit my 82 fj40.......AFAIK they are the same.

But if its not a Toyota reman I would prolly pass on it. Check with Dan(American Toyota) on th eprice of an OEM reman before buying the other one. Most aftermarket remans are pretty crappy. OEM reman

I hate to "assume"... but if the description says "toyota remanufactured"... wouldn't that be Toyota? Here's what I'm looking at:

This guy has other LC stuff...so I'm thinking he's legit. I've checked a couple of places on OEM, and they're around $225.

my alternator is missing something called the condenser. it looks like a capasitor. it is, or in my case was, attached to the back of the alt by a wire. called alt rebuild and parts place in my area and they dont carry it. does anyone have any idea what this does? and do i really need one?

Gracias

I replaced my 89FJ62 Altenator this past wknd it took all day for such a simple project, it took me 4 hours to just get out, the old one had a small condensor looking thing on it, it is a radio noise suppresor?

took me all day to replace mine too...probably 5 hours just to remove the old one.

took lots of breaks though as i was freezing my nuts off.......

that Johanthan Ward, owner of TLC in CA, so I will "assume" he is correct its a OEM reman, in which case the part # will end in a -84(I think)

the condensor for the radio is on the coil/ignitor I think. Not sure what the gizzmo on the alt is, maybe it is also for the radio.
