Stoshball Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 So I need to replace the alternator and wasn't planning on doing it right now, I'm eventually upgrading to an electric fan set up but not right away and I knew I'd have to upgrade it then. What should I look to buy in a new alternator, and can I buy one that will work for me when I do the fan swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I got this one, bolt on and plug in. you need a longer belt though. 93 inch. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ULTL/011873M/01468.oap?year=2004&make=Chevrolet&model=Silverado+1500&vi=1441703&ck=Search_01468_1441703_-1&pt=01468&ppt=C0330 Edited November 2, 2012 by The_aSSet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayldss Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 it's not required to upgrade the alternator to do an e-fan upgrade... is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Required, no. but its a good relatively inexpensive investment that helps the electrics stay in balance so there's no dimming our anything like that when the fans come on.
