Vehicle & Engine Applications
This high-output alternator is engineered specifically as a performance upgrade for U.S. models only equipped with the following Toyota powertrains:
- Toyota Tundra: (with 1UR-FE 4.6L V8 or 3UR-FE 5.7L V8 engines)
- Toyota Sequoia: (with 1UR-FE 4.6L V8 or 3UR-FE 5.7L V8 engines)
Premium Construction & Features
- Direct-Fit Replacement: Manufactured to strict OEM-level fitment and dimensional specifications, serving as a direct bolt-in replacement for your factory alternator without requiring custom brackets or wiring harness modifications.
- American-Built Quality: Every kit features a brand=new, heavy-duty alternator housing utilizing premium, American-made rotors and stators for superior thermal efficiency and long-term durability.
- Warranty Protection: Backed by a comprehensive one-year manufacturer warranty.
Critical Power Cable Requirements
The upgraded high-amperage charge cable is not included with your alternator purchase. Because this unit delivers significantly higher current than the factory alternator, the stock charging circuit wire must be upgraded to prevent overheating and maximize performance.
Builder Responsibility: You must determine the specific cable length required for your vehicle's engine bay layout and purchase the corresponding heavy-duty wire gauge. Please reference the reference sizing table below to select the correct power cable for your application.

Why Choose the 1UR & 3UR High Output Alternator?
- Massive Electrical Capacity: Effortlessly powers multiple high-draw aftermarket electronics and off-road accessories without dropping voltage.
- Perfect OEM Fit: A direct, bolt-on replacement engineered specifically for 1UR-FE 4.6L and 3UR-FE 5.7L Toyota engines.
- Heavy-Duty Durability: Built with premium components to thrive in demanding driving and trail conditions.
- System Protection: Delivers stable, consistent power to protect your vehicle's sensitive factory electronics.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Built to Order: These alternators are hand-built to your specifications. Please allow a 1-week build time before shipping. You must include your vehicle's year and model when ordering.
- Belt Compatibility: Because this high-output unit utilizes a smaller diameter pulley, you may require a shorter serpentine belt. We strongly recommend installing a fresh correctly sized belt during installation.
- Amperage Matching: Ensure this alternator is rated at least 30 Amps above your vehicle's maximum total electrical load.
Warranty Exclusions
To protect your investment, avoid the following common installation and operational errors, which void the warranty.
- Belt & Pulley Mishaps: Bearing failure from over-tightened or loose belts. (Alternators returned for warranty must include the pulley. Signs of extreme heat-blueing on the shaft/pulley or a mirror-shiny pulley finish-will void coverage.
- Terminal Damage: Stripped threads, burnt terminals, or discoloration on the output (B+) or ground (B-) posts caused by loose connections.
- Mechanical Damage: Damaged rotor shaft threads, cracked housings from loose mounting hardware, or broken brush holders from attempting to re-clock the unit.
- Electrical Overload & Faults: Reversing battery polarity during installation.
- Burnt Stator phases or blown/damaged diodes.
- Running the engine with the battery disconnected or removing a battery cable while running.
- Improper wire sizing or incorrect wiring hookups.
- Use in-non recommended or competition environments.
