Remanufactured Part No. is 27060-61091-84 , but seems to be discontinued.

Will this one work? 27060-61090-84

What year is your truck?
Does the original alternator have an internal or external fan?

92 with 3FE... Not sure what you mean by external vs internal fan?
 
Duh... External - just behind the belt that turns the alternator.

On the 80 amp alternator for the 3FE, there is an external fan that is behind the pulley. On the 90 amp alternator the fan is internal to the case. Each one uses different mounts and both came on the 92 FJ80, depending on the month of manufacture.

That's the 80 amp alternator. Discontinued years ago. You can use the 90 amp unit, but you'll need to source the mounting hardware.

27060-61090-84 APPEARS to still be available - it's 80 amp. Some sites show it as being good for 1988-1992... and some don't.​

The 80 amp unit with the external fan was used on the FJ62 and FJ80 up to early 1992. The 90 amp unit (internal fan) was late 1992.
 
Any clue about part number for the "connector" that plugs into the alternator?

Just went through this with my 1991. Ordered several reman 80 amp alternators with the external fan, and every one came in as the 90 amp. Ended up getting mine rebuilt at a local shop.
