3g eclipse alt

I just wen to check my self, and according to Rock Auto a 99 galant which is mine is 90 amps, and a 2000 (both 2.4 BTW) is 85A, with different part numbers. Now I'm stumped.

well i like to solve this and i will butt for now i went and picked up a .5 smaller belt if i cant get in on then ill swap out pullys

Rock auto showed at disclamer on some the alternators saying "02/1999 to 09/2000"

So maybe they did in fact have different alternators. I would go with the pulley swap that way in case of belt snap you don't have to sit there and debate which you need.

Does the alternator you got look OEM? Also 40 bux can't complain.

yea its oem all cleand up and everthing
even had a test sticker on it back in 02, so i went to auto zone and tested it again before i put it in and it passed

im gona try the belt first, its a bitch to pull the pully and im to lazy to remove the alt out of the ca, if the belt dont work out then i have no choice

Im sure belt will work.

[finald8ta]

ok guys put the .5 shorter belt, barely got it on butt it works
part# 365k5 (duralast)

heat got to me today i put it in the wrong thread

^^^ Good info, though I think mostwill go with their own puulley before they buy another belt. Pulley = Free, Belt = cheddah

[finald8ta]

belt cost me 12bucks and if u replace the pully u wont get 90amp u will go back to 85amp...
plus half the time u replace the belt anyway when u replace the alt..

85A > shot alternator.
