Ford 5.4L 3V charging upgrade Q's...

#99253

Post by Mentor3006 »

Can anyone suggest a high output alternator (150 amps ) for the Ford 5.4L 3V engines such as is in use with the current F series pickups, and the 2003 and up Expeditions / Navigators?

Due to the extreme use this vehicle sees, I am considering an Optima battery. What is the strongest / highest output battery they offer?

The Motorcityman link is for the 97-03 5.4L 2V engines. The alternators are different I think... That is why I am asking. But I will dig a bit...

You can always call them and ask, i'm sure they can build whatever you need.
