Detailed Description

This SKP alternator is intended for fitment-specific replacement where the original charging unit matches the listed voltage, amperage, fan type, and rotation direction. It serves as a practical replacement for Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota, and related Ram truck and van applications that call for a 117A alternator. Use SK13823 when the vehicle’s charging system requires the same electrical and mechanical configuration.

Common Issues It May Address

• Low battery charging output
• Battery warning light concerns related to alternator performance
• Electrical system voltage instability
• Charging failure from a worn alternator
• Accessory performance issues caused by insufficient output

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s original alternator matches 12V, 117A, internal fan, and clockwise rotation before ordering. Verify connector style, pulley alignment, and mounting configuration against the removed unit to ensure proper replacement fitment. This part number, SK13823, should be matched to the vehicle’s charging system specifications rather than appearance alone.
