Ford Performance BOSS 302 Alternator Kit (11-14 Mustang GT)

Video Review & Installation

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR KIT FOR YOUR 11-14 GT THAT OFFERS A FEW SMALL UPGRADES TO BOOT THEN YOU’LL WANT TO CHECK OUT THE FORD PERFORMANCE BOSS 302 ALTERNATOR KIT. THIS KIT WILL INCLUDE A 100% FORD ALTERNATOR ALONG WITH THE TENSIONER PULLEY AND BELT ALL FOR AROUND THE MID 200 PRICE TAG AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A CORE CHARGE. INSTALLATION WILL REQUIRE A LITTE WORK SO WE’LL CALL IT 2 OUT OF 3 WRENCHES ON THE DIFFICULTY METER AND WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO GET IT ON YOUR CAR LATER IN THE VIDEO.SO THIS WAS THE SAME EXACT ALTERNATOR THAT WAS USED ON THE S197 BOSS 302 AND ACTUALLY DIFFERED SLIGHTLY IN A COUPLE OF AREAS. FIRST AND FOREMOST FORD DEEMED THE BOSS AND ITS HIGH REVVING CAPABILITIES NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR CAPABLE OF THAT KIND OF REPEATED RPM ALONG WITH THE AGGRESSIVE UPSHIFTING THAT COMES ALONG WITH THE TRACK FOCUSED CAR SO THEY EQUIPPED THE ALTERNATOR WITH A 1 WAY CLUTCH TO ELIMINATE ANY BELT ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING OR TURNING NEARLY 8K RPM.SECONDLY FORD EMPLOYED A POPULAR AFTERMARKET TRICK WITH THE PULLEY SIZE HERE BY ENLARGING IT SLIGHTLY TO REDUCE PARASITIC DRAG WHICH IS THE SAME GOAL OF AN AFTERMARKET UNDER DRIVE PULLEY THAT YOU OFTEN SEE HERE ON THE SITE. FINALLY THE TENSIONER THAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE ALTERNATOR FEATURES A STRONGER DESIGN TO GET MORE TENSION OUT OF THE INCLUDED BELT TO HELP PREVENT SLIPPAGE AGAIN WITH THOSE HIGHER REVS. I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT PRICE BECAUSE IN MY OPINION THIS IS A REALLY GOOD DEAL AT THE MID 200 LEVEL WITHOUT NEEDING A CORE. FACTOR IN THAT THIS IS A 100% NEW ALTERNATOR AND NOT A REBUILT OR REMANUFACTURED PART AND THAT IT INCLUDES THE EXTRAS LIKE THE TENSIONER AND THE BELT AND AGAIN A GREAT AND RELATIVELY LOW COST REPLACEMENT EVEN FOR THE STOCK S197 GT’S OUT THERE WHO DON’T WANT TO GO WITH A REMANUFACTURED OPTION FROM YOUR LOCAL PARTS STORE. BUT LETS GET INTO HE INSTALL AND THIS ONE WON’T BE TOO BAD AS YOU’LL SEE IN A SEC BUT THE SITE DOES CALL IT A 2 OUT OF 3 WRENCHES ON THE DIFFICULTY METER AND ROUGHLY 2 HOURS FROM START TO FINISH. AND TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF HOW THE JOB WILL GO HERES A DETAILED WALK THROUGH AND A TOOL BREAKDOWN. SO IN CLOSING THE FORD PERFORMANCE BOSS302 ALTERNATOR WILL BE A LOW COST REPLACEMENT THAT DOESN’T REQUIRE A CORE AND KICKS IN SOME NICE UPGRADES TO BOOT.
