Truck died when I drove into garage should I be so lucky.
Anyways new alternator appears the same, I would like to use cover that is on old alternator below.
The three holes on new alternator appear to match where the mounts for cover will fit.
This will require removal of the cover to insert bolts into backside of cover.
Three holes visible is where bolts go from inside attach to a spacer fits under the old cover.
Would have to make a jumper for wires to cover as old alternator was wired.
Is there any reason I should not do this, is there anything that could break when cover is pulled back?
And new alternator has one wire plugged back into itself, the original had two wires one to alternator one to truck wire? Waiting for wiring diagram.
