Welcome, was it a Ford alternator? New or rebuild? Our trucks are very finicky about alternators.

The best option is going to be a Ford/Motorcraft alternator. What's the exact application? Last eight digits of the VIN would be great as there are usually options.

This is the correct OEM alternator, not one we normally stock but we can have one within a day and on the way to you if you do lace the order.
