• Resolves issues with battery charging and electrical system power fluctuations
• Addresses problems related to overheating due to efficient air cooling
• Fixes pulley wear or belt slippage with included conventional pulley
• Eliminates voltage regulation faults with built-in internal regulator

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the BBB Industries REMAN ALTERNATOR 13938, ensure the serpentine belt is properly aligned with the 6-groove conventional pulley. Verify the plug clock position at 4 o'clock for correct electrical connection. The clockwise rotation direction must be matched to the vehicle’s original setup. Since this alternator includes an internal voltage regulator, no additional external regulator wiring is necessary. It is recommended to inspect the battery and charging system during installation to confirm overall system health.
