An alternator is an essential component in a vehicle's electrical system, responsible for generating power to charge the battery and run electrical accessories while the engine is running. It converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy, ensuring the vehicle operates smoothly. Positioned near the engine, it is connected by a belt that spins the alternator's rotor. Without a functioning alternator, the battery would quickly drain, causing the vehicle to stall.
The alternator (160 amp) with code USEP-5149275AA is designed to fit specific Chrysler and Dodge models, including the Dodge Nitro and Durango, as well as the Chrysler Aspen. It supports engines sized 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8, providing reliable electrical output for these vehicles. Constructed with aluminum and plastic components, this alternator uses existing hardware for installation and requires only one unit per vehicle. Its 160 amp capacity ensures sufficient power for demanding electrical systems.
