Mustang - Alternator Replacement 🔧
Got it—let’s swap the alternator on your GT. I’ll tailor steps to your setup.
- 🔹 Do you have standard or active rev-match on your 10-speed? (Affects battery disconnect sequence in the owner settings.)
- 🔹 Do you have the factory performance pack (heavier-duty cooling and tighter engine bay)?
I’ll proceed with both paths if you’re not sure—just say “not sure.”
