OVERVIEW
The procedure involves removing the three existing Bosch
alternators, their corresponding brackets and
harnesses and replacing them with a pair of DelcoRemy 55SI alternator.
The alternators require new brackets and harnesses. A boost regulator and corresponding harness is
also added in the main power compartment. Reprogramming the vehicles’ MUX program is required.
First time users should read the procedure before starting work on a vehicle. Best viewed in color.

WARNING
The alternator is connected to the batteries through master relay R1. If the ignition switch is in the OFF
position and the battery master switch (master cut-out) is set to the OFF position, there should not be
electrical power to the alternator terminals. However, a faulty master relay R1 could eventually leave
the battery power circuit closed, thus electrical power would be present at the alternator terminals.
Using a multimeter, probe the alternator B1+ terminal and the ground terminal. Make sure that the
voltage reading is 0 volt before disconnecting the alternator cables.

16. Disconnect the Power, Jumper, Control
Harness and Ground cables from the
alternators. Discard.
17. Do not dismantle the power cable yet. This
will be done when installing the new cable.
