How to R&R and Clock a Gm Alternator on your Suzuki Samurai

In this video I show how to remove and replace as well as clock your Gm alternator on a Suzuki Samurai, with the GM alternator conversion. Another upgrade if you plan on a sterio, lights or a winch. major power upgrade for those power hungry accessories like your Warn or other brands of winch!

I rebuild alternators for a living and you're pretty much on point with this video. That method will work as long as the bearing isn't frozen to the rotor shaft. Even then it's not hard to reset the brushes. The factory alternator is a nippondenso which are excellent alternators,but just fall short in the amp department.

[@FabbinAdventures]

Thanks! Yes unfortunately the factory alt just doesnt put out enough for winches, lights, stereos, onboard air or welders. Thats why i went the route i did. Yeah resetting the brushes are no big deal, i just wanted to keep it simple for folks that may be a bit hesitant to do this job themselves. Thanks for watching!

What size pulley and belt did you have to upgrade to? Did you need to replace/upgrade any wiring to accommodate the increase in amps?

[@BigSkyMobileRV]

I had the same thing happen to mine! in fact I’m on my third alternator now!

[@FabbinAdventures]

Man, ive change it like 5 times now, i put a 10si in it yesterday, hope this will be better. Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!

[@maximo979]

Did the 10si work better for you if so what’s the part number I’m on my third one

[@FabbinAdventures]

Yes since i put the 10si in over a year ago i havent had a problem. Im not at home now, so cant get you the number, but its a real common one used in the oil patch out here so there is always one in stock. I bought 2 just incase but havent need the spare yet! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sevensenseification]

Nice. If have to put a bigger one in my Suk. I have the small stok one and using a winch.

[@FabbinAdventures]

Nice to have the bigger 105A alternator especially when using a winch!

[@stephencarden5425]

Hi could you possibly offer any tips on upgrading my alternator to a cs130 on my grand vitara1 but not having done this before I don't know if its possible to do to my vehicle. Did you have to reroute your hose configeration ,on mine it looks like I may need to to get the alternator in . any help would be much appreciated.

[@FabbinAdventures]

sorry, i dont know anything about the grand vitara, if it helps any, i went to the 10si alternator and sofar haven`t killed one yet. i killed 6 cs130s though.

[@EivinSukoi]

Hi nice work , did you use the factory belt ?. Is this a 1.3 l ?. Thanks

[@FabbinAdventures]

Yes this is a 1.3l and no, you have to use a slightly longer belt. Thanks for watching Zuki Evolution!

How many amps does that alternator give? I have mounted the alternator of a Ford Escort diesel that gives 75 amps! I love these videos you are a teacher! A lot of tools and good hands! Keep it up !! Greetting from Spain!!!🇪🇸

[@FabbinAdventures]

Thanks for the kind words! This alternator puts out 105 amps, i had lots of trouble with burning them out untill i put a bigger pulley on it to slow it down, now it works great! Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!

[@maximo979]

Where can I get the bigger pulley

[@FabbinAdventures]

I got it from amazon if i remember right. Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures.

[@junybeltran4920]

Do you still use original bracket??

[@FabbinAdventures]

No you have to get the gm conversion bracket from a place like low range off road, or roadless gear.

[@delroypatrice1011]

Hey bro will a 220a gm cs130 alternator work the same

[@FabbinAdventures]

Good question man, probably, but thats an old video, i had so much bad luck with burning out those cs130s that i want to a 10si and have not had a problem since! Thanks for your comment!

[@delroypatrice1011]

@@FabbinAdventures thank bro any one special

[@FabbinAdventures]

No i just got the regular easy to fine 105A version. That way i can go into and parts store and grab one if needed. I've had a new spare 10si in the back of my sammy for 8 months now just incase this one goes. So far, not a glitch!

Hey bro am in GRENADA🇬🇩🇬🇩 and fallow you vid they are very clean and informative I learn alot keep up the good works

[@fasteddiesbbq]

whats the part number on the new alternator?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Its a GM cs130 alternator. Should be able to go into your parts store and ask for one.

[@thebanjoman1963]

@@FabbinAdventures Asking for a CS130 doesn't work, Most parts stores only want to know YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL... Parts guy is not helpful.

[@FabbinAdventures]

I quit trying to use the cs130, ive burt out 5 or 6 of them now, i went to a 105 amp 10si alternator and sofar so good. Wilson number 90-01-3081a 19135 052

[@johnhayes9437]

i wouldn't do that to a street driven vehicle. The stress on the bearing is possibly enough to bugger it up.... if I'm not mistaken....

[@FabbinAdventures]

Not sure what stress your talking about, its been in service for nearly 2 years now. But thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!

[@johneratcliff]

You suppose to disconnect the negative from the battery first.

[@alexb4409]

You are wrong. If you leave the positive connected you are at risk of shorting the battery out due to the positive still being connected to the battery. Drop a wrench or something falls on your battery and BOOM shorting.

[@Mike-gr2ok]

Great video, But that fuckin music!!!!!. Please turn it down or preferably off your video is interesting enough without it dude

[@FabbinAdventures]

Oh thats a super old video, i cant change it now sorry. I had lots of trouble with my old editing software, my new videos are much better, thanks for watching though.
