HMMWV M998 Alternator upgrade

[bjones99]

I have a 1989 Army HMMWV with the 6.5l and the alternator pictured here is dead.
Can I swap out the alternator shown with a Niehoff N1602 28v 400a alternator shown here?
Any help is appreciated.

That's a 60amp....you don't want a 400amp. The upgrade is the 200amp, the kits are available for cheap.
so are the take out 200amp gens. That 400 is way to much power and requires totally different mounts.

Is that eye bolt on the 400 amp to allow you to use a engine hoist to pick it up???

Thank you for the clarification.

Yes - it weights 120 lbs.

Is the 200amp alternator for the 6.5 a commercial part that can be had from any auto parts store?

Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives to the Niehoff 200 amp dual voltage generator ? I have a bearing going out in mine. I was hoping to convert it to a civilian escavator size or something like that?

Why not just have a new bearing put in it?

I already have the bearing but I’m lazy and looking for an easy way out !

Also I’ve been trying to find a YouTube video on how to replace the bearings but no luck. The shipping cost and uncertainty of a honest technician also have cost concerns.

I found this one, but it’s still fairly expensive.
