In 1999 Ford Motor Company switched from using the large case 3G series alternator on the 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel to the small case 110 amp 6G series alternator.
Before 1999, the 7.3 diesel F Series Trucks, Excursion, and E Series applications used the large case 3G series. Click Here for the 3G Series Heavy Duty High Output Alternators.
After 1999 Ford no longer offered the large case alternator upgrade option for Power Stroke diesel equipped vehicles. The small case 110 amp 6G series alternator that comes standard on the Power Stroke Diesel since 1999
was the only choice and has been plagued with reliability issues. WE HAVE THE SOLUTION WITH THE LARGE CASE 6G UPGRADE UNIT. Click Here for
Large Case 6G Series Heavy Duty High Output Alternators

We can now provide a dual and triple bridge rectifier option for the toughest 6G series alternator with a heavy duty bridge rectifier combined with either the 210 amp or 420 amp external bridge rectifier for extra durability.
Order at bottom of this page or click here. Units come in 140, 160, 200 and 250 amp options with either a standard or heavy duty bridge rectifier and voltage regulator. All amperages can be ordered with or without the Quicktifier.
In 1999 Ford Motor Company switched from using the large case 3G alternator on the 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel to the small case 110 amp 6G series alternator. After 99 Ford no longer offered the large case alternator upgrade option for power stroke diesel equipped vehicles. Previously, to get more charging power for your 7.3, 6.0 or 6.4 diesel your options are either, dual alternators or upgrade your existing small case alternator. The problem with upgrading your existing small case alternator is that they tend to be less reliable when upgraded. Plus with an upgraded version of the small case 6G alternator you will not get extra power at lower engine speeds, all the extra power is when you rev the motor.
So if you need more charging power or your alternator is getting old and tired why not upgrade to the superior large case 6G series alternator. We have the 6G large case alternator in several amperages and duty ratings. Plus, our alternators are brand new and incorporate many original equipment Ford Motorcraft alternator components when possible. Click here to see a partial list of common vehicle applications.

Note: The difference between the Standard Duty and Heavy Duty alternators listed below is in the amperage rating of the diodes in the bridge rectifier. Alternators make AC current, then use a Bridge Rectifier with diodes in it to convert the AC current to DC current for use by the vehicles electrical system. The Rectifier is the #1 component to fail in high power demand situations. The standard duty rectifier uses 40 and 50 amp diodes, the heavy duty rectifier uses 70 amp diodes.
To the left is the Ford Motorcraft type 6G series heavy duty, high amp alternator paired with a Quicktifier Dual Bridge Rectifier. This addition provides tremendous durability. When added to the heavy duty model 6G series high amp alternator with the upgraded voltage regulator, it creates an unstoppable charging force.
The Ford Motorcraft type 6G series heavy duty, high amp alternator is used on many Ford vehicles, below is an incomplete list, please call 1-616-785-7990 to see if your vehicle requires a 6G series heavy duty high amp alternator.
The 250 amp Ford Motorcraft type 6G series high amp alternator requires a Quicktifier Remote Bridge Rectifier. Please make a Quicktifier selection when ordering your high amp 6G series alternator. If you order a 6G series alternator at over 200 amps without a second set of diodes, it will fail, stock 6G series bridge rectifiers are not heavy duty enough to handle the excessive amperage alone.
