ALTERNATOR SWAP/DUAL

[Simpleman]

Ok guys just getting around to replace both alternators but finding that the 120 amp alternator part number 7C3Z-10346-CERM is unavailable ,the 200 amp 7C3Z-10346-EA is available all day long so I ordered it.
My question is there another alternator 120 amp or higher amp rated alternator I can substitute for the dual configuration?

It sounds like you have an ambulance with dual alternators. No need for dual alternators, so go with the 200 amp alternator. 200 amps is a LOT of current!

Your part can be found here; Sunrise Ford Parts
Or elsewhere online! There are remans out there also.

You can also try the secondary market (parts stores) or used parts.

Gentlemen
Thank you for your knowledge and advise, I am just replacing what is currently installed,I was just trying to keep it all Ford but reading all responses it look like it will have to be aftermarket.
My 200amp alternator started on fire so that the reason to change both at the same time. Current mileage is 235k,so I think the 120 amp alternator is not far behind.
I ordered the truck with dual alternators the sales guy asked if I wanted dual alternators I asked how much he sai $125.00 I said I will take it.
It functioned as I thought it would as the 200 amp alternator started on fire I put the fire out and the 120 amp alternator is keeping the battery's charged and the truck runs just fine,so I want that same back up in place as we drive to Levering Michigan with the boat I don't worry about that aspect of being with out.
Thanks again fellas happy motoring
Regards Dale

Simpleman,

I just did another search for your alternator, 7C3Z-10346-CERM
I checked several OEM sites and they all have it in stock!

i.e.; OEM Parts Online, OEM Ford Parts Direct, Ford Parts OEM, Ford Parts Connect, etc....
The only one that doesn't have it is Ford themselves (OEM Ford Part.com)

You'll pay about $200 plus mandatory core charge, $75! you'll will get refunded when you return part with an RMA!

Also, check your local dealers! Bill Currie Ford in Tampa has them in stock.
