When it comes to choosing the alternators to install in your fleet’s vehicles, Leece-Neville and Penntex alternators are a smart replacement for your original Ford alternators. With their affordability and options for increasing power and reliability, these alternators are sure to meet your fleet’s needs. Here are a few advantages to using Leece-Neville and Penntex alternators in your fleet vehicles.
Replacement Ford Alternators at Affordable Prices
If you’re looking for a way to boost your charging system’s power and improve your alternator’s reliability, you have several options available to you. Some of these options, such as high-output alternators, can be considerably more expensive than other options. Leece-Neville and Penntex alternators, on the other hand, offer improved charging and reliability without the high expense. Even installing a dual alternator system may represent significant savings over a high-output alternator, especially when you consider the reliability and redundancy such a system gives you.
The Dual Alternator System
One option that Leece-Neville and Penntex alternators make available to you is the ability to run a dual alternator system. For fleet vehicles that tend to use more power than their stock charging systems generate, this is a huge advantage. The dual alternator system is usually paired with multiple batteries for greater power capacity.
In addition to meeting or exceeding your vehicles’ power needs, the dual alternator system provides the security of redundancy on each of your vehicles. On a vehicle with a single alternator, when the part fails the discovery is usually made when the batteries completely drain, leaving your fleet vehicle and driver stranded and leaving a gaping hole in your fleet coverage. In a dual alternator system, however, one alternator can fail without catastrophically affecting the rest of the system. It is then possible for the vehicle to finish its route and return home for repairs.
Direct Replacements to Ford’s 3G and 6G Alternators
Leece-Neville and Penntex both make direct replacements for Ford’s popular 3G and 6G alternators. These alternators are equipped with internal cooling fans in order to dramatically reduce the chance of the part failing due to overheating. This is especially important on commercial vehicles that tend to draw more power, potentially overloading the alternator and causing it to heat up.
Leece-Neville and Penntex alternators also offer greater charging capabilities. These alternators have a more secure charging cable connection, eliminating the likelihood of connection issues. In addition, they generate more power, resolving the problems some commercial vehicles have of using power slightly faster than the charging system can generate it. Not only does the higher output reduce the likelihood of breakdown, it also contributes to longer battery life, as constantly draining and recharging the battery can actually cause internal damage and shorten the life of the battery.
