Alternator: Description and Operation

The generator has an internal voltage regulator that is not repaired separately. A new generator and voltage regulator must be installed as an assembly.

All Marauder 4.6L 4V applications are equipped with a One-Way Clutch (OWC) in the generator pulley. The OWC pulley temporarily disengages the generator rotor from the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) system during high acceleration/deceleration rates on the engine, which may increase belt life and decrease belt chirp. A new OWC pulley and generator/voltage regulator must be installed as an assembly.
