Best alternator for om606
I agree that using the one way clutch on the alternator is advisable and a good idea. I did NOT use the one-way clutch on my setup because I'm running a Ford alternator on my 606 (because my alternator communicates with the ECU) and I couldn't mount the clutch on the ford unit.
I was advised against doing this (here) and promised to return and eat crow if my belt failed in short order. For the record, I still think it's good advise BUT- I have been running with this setup for about a year now (about 10k miles) on the same belt with no ill effects. No belt failures or even squealing to date. Do I believe using the 1 way clutch is better for belt life? absolutely- but I haven't experienced the extremely short life predicted here.
