Works fine, slightly larger pulley?

Overall it was a good buy, far cheaper than the parts store and at least as good if not better quality. The setup is B******* in focus, but at least my 2007 had a different power steering pump that didn't require removing the power steering reservoir. Pros: - Inexpensive - Reasonable quality - Worked on first try - Very good charging! Cons: - The pulley appears to be slightly larger than the OE, the OD was the same (60mm) but the ribbed part in the center seemed slightly larger on the DB Electrical. Also, the "lip" of the pulley was thicker and not tapered like Original Equipment, making belt installation quite difficult, but not impossible - a slight whistle like all those aftermarket alternators. Nothing wrong with that, just the brushes on the slip rings wear out and eventually go away. Conclusion: Good buy, I would buy again if needed. Ps. Check out some YouTube videos on how to do this on a 2005-2007 Focus 2.0L. There are some good tips for removing the lower engine mount to make removing the alternator relatively easy!

Pros
  • Datura πŸ”₯
Cons
  • poorly thought out
