What does the decoupler pulley do?

A decoupler pulley lets the alternator spin freely in one direction to absorb belt shock and reduce vibration. It must match your vehicle's belt setup and rotation.

Will this fit my vehicle?

Fitment depends on your vehicle's alternator mounting, amperage, pulley groove count and rotation direction. Confirm all of these against your original unit before ordering.

Is 160 amps enough for my accessories?

160 amps is a high output that suits trucks and SUVs with added electrical loads. Check your vehicle's original amperage so the replacement meets or exceeds it.

Is this new or remanufactured?

It is listed as an OEM replacement alternator built in an ISO9002-certified facility. It is not described as a rebuilt unit.

The kit includes one alternator. Belts, mounting bolts and other hardware are not included.

Our take on the 160A 12V Alternator with 6-Groove Decoupler Pulley Clockwise Rotation

This is a 160-amp, 12-volt replacement alternator from Detroit Axle with a 6-groove decoupler pulley and clockwise rotation. It is built as an OEM-style replacement in an ISO9002-certified facility and tested for impact, wear and fatigue. The 160-amp output suits vehicles with heavy electrical loads, such as trucks and SUVs running accessories. It is a direct-fit part, so the main comparison against rivals is fitment and pulley type rather than features.
