FAIL 1hdt 1hz Alternator - 80 series Landcruiser replacement | My dash lit up like a Christmas TREE!

Normally I like to do preventative maintenance but this one caught me out.
Alternator replacement on my Landcruiser.
I am not affiliated in anyway with any product I use.

Gidday mate. First off great tutorial, secondly- you spoke of manipulating the bracket to fit. How much of a pain was that? as I need to do exactly what you did but am worried I won't get the new bugger in. Any help appreciated.

Do you know if the alternators for the diesels are the same with the gas engines? Just by looking online I can't see any difference. I just got a 1994 80 series hd-t and second day of owning it the alternator has crapped out on me and I'm in the states trying to find a replacement. But if it's the same with the gas engine models it will be a easy find for me to replace it. Any help is appreciated!

I believe they are different. Parts can be bought to rebuild your alternator if you able to. I plan on doing that to my one and keep as a spare for trips etc

@@tinkeringtimmy4061 so on mine it was the regulator that failed but that alternator had about 220,xxx km on it so I preffered to just put a new one on. So I did verify that the alternators that are for the gas engine models are the same for the diesel models. Bolted and plugged right in with zero modifications.

What brand is the new alternator you put ?

[@tinkeringtimmy4061]

purchased from onlineauto parts, JAS branded 120amp hzj80 alternator.

@@tinkeringtimmy4061 factory alternator is a 80amp if I m not wrong. So putting in a 120amp would be fine?

[@tinkeringtimmy4061]

@@kotasonamtenzin yeah mine was an 80amp. so far no issues running the 120amp

what does that orange light with the arrows and the dots on the bottom right mean?

[@tinkeringtimmy4061]

Air filter restriction. There is a sensor on the side of the airbox with a little hose either side of the air filter. If a difference in pressure exceeds the sensor the light comes on.
