Title: Upgraded Alternator needs a pulley.
Post by: RHaugensBane on August 06, 2020, 02:11:51 pm

Hello,
For my 2003 Eurovan, I got the    
ACDELCO 3342595 {#88861861} Professional; Remanufactured; 120 Amp Info One of our most popular parts
Optional, w/ 120 amp alt.; Unit Mfr: Bosch; Amps: 120; Internal Fan; Internal Regulator; Clock: 1:30

It did not come with a pulley, The Bosch pulley only lets the nut catch the first 2 threats of the spindle.
Can anyone point me to toward the right pulley?

The Bosch pulley is the picture attached.
The I think the pulley I'm looking for is 7 channel and about 5 mm shorter than the Bosch:F4050765962OES

The Bosch Pulley only engages 2 threads.

Fixed it by buying a replacement 90 amp alternator and using its pulley on the 120 Amp ACDelco alternator. It cost $180, but the Bosch pulley was $90 (that didn’t work) so I’m out $360......pain to deal with, but the van runs great now.
