Got the new alternator in. Just dropped the truck off at Moss Racing. Tomorrow I will have solid motormounts. Good by vulcanized rubber garbage!

Oh yeah, the alternator. Here we go.

Stock 136 amp with 2.5" pulley

Rebuilt 160 amp with 2.5" pulley

Installed and working like a charm.

So if the pulley is the same size on the 08 does this mean it'll fit or is there more I need to know

Take a couple of pictures of it for me and I will probably be able to tell.

It is for a 2004 Dodge Durango 4.7L that came stock with a 160amp alt.
