Ultimately, all energy is solar. Millions of years ago, sunlight was stored in plants that subsequently died, went into the ground, and eventually turned into "rock oil" - which is better known by its Latin name, petra oleum. When petroleum derivatives are burned, it releases this ancient solar energy.

Science tells us that energy is not created nor destroyed, but only changes form. One agent of this change is the Ford F350 Alternator, which turns the mechanical energy generated by the stored-up solar energy in gasoline into electrical energy that can be used by your truck's electrical system.

The alternator now does what the generator in the 1948 Ford Bonus once did, and does it far more efficiently. The Ford F350 Alternator is one of the components of your truck that is likely to wear out shortly after the first 100,000 miles or so. There's no need to panic if the gauge on your dashboard swings over to the minus sign, because your battery usually contains enough electrical energy to get you home (unless this happens at night - in which case you do have a problem). Even then, it may be nothing more than a loose fan belt. If it does turn out to be the alternator however, you can count on us for the lowest price on a new Ford F350 Alternator to replace it.Shop around - if you can find it for less somewhere else, tell us, and we'll meet or beat that price - and pay for your shipping as well!
