Original Ford Alternators

The alternator in your Ford car, truck, or SUV plays a major part in keeping the electronics and other factors that run your vehicle charged. Essentially, it turns mechanical energy into electricity.

As your engine runs via a system of belts and pulleys, the rotor shaft spins while connected to a set of magnetic coils. A magnetic field is created, and an energy rectifier transforms the AC power into DC power. Monitored by a voltage regulator, this newfound power is used to charge your Ford's car battery, power windows, interior lights, and other electrical systems.

How Long Do Alternators Last?

Alternators tend to last up to seven years or up to 150,000 miles. Overall, they have a long lifespan, however, at times, alternators may become faulty or worn out from normal wear and tear. There is no need to worry, because we have all the genuine auto parts for your Ford's electrical system.
