Alternator Shield

[specialKody]

I was doing a little searching around and found that the 2.3L Bronco had a TSB for alternator placement. Ford rectified this with shielding (Part # MB3Z-10317-K). Have any of you tried this on your Ranger?

I don't plan on doing water crossings but would love the shielding given all the rain/flooding we've had recently.

Of course now I see this post.

It may also hold heat in and make it fail too?

It will still vent more than enough to keep itself cool

I'm less worried about heat than water

I've had the alternator out and I can't honestly see how you'd get it and the alternator back in the same space together.

The 5G Ranger and 6G Bronco have several differences under the hood; coolant overflow, airbag, alternator out and other things differ, some greatly. The 6G Ranger has more in common, being closer in under hood dimensions, so what fits a Bronco won't necessarily fit a 5G Ranger.
