Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This alternator features a clutch pulley design that reduces belt wear and improves drivability by allowing slight decoupling during engine load changes. The 8-groove serpentine pulley, measuring 1-15/16 inches (49 mm) in diameter, is included to ensure direct replacement without additional parts.
