- RJsfishinExplorerWhy do you need to know ? If its able to handle the load its given, most couldn't care less.
Me, I like to know how many amps everything is putting out at any given time.
I have an amp meter on everything, including the alternator and converter and solar.
I've seen 130+ many time on the v-10 alternator ammeter, when starting after a nite of hard draw on the house batteries. - jsroreExploreri will try the mirror trick...
and VIN to ford..
will post update
Thanks - ScottGNomadCan yo use a mirror to look at the back side of the alt?
- Tom_NExplorer130amp
- mapguyExplorerhave ford dealer run OASIS report or give ford VIN to a ford truck parts dealer....
Can be determined off the alternator plate and case stamping too, - RLS7201Explorer IINever seen a F53 460 with a 95 amp alternator. I think all F53 MHs with 460 came with 130 amp. My 95 F53 460 came from the factory with 130 amp. My Ford owners manual only calls for 130 amp.
Richard - PaulJ2ExplorerUsually stamped on the alternators metal housing somewhere along with the brand and model number. Because it is embossed it is easy to miss.
- RJsfishinExplorerThis will tell you.
