Alternator for stranded XC90

The 2005 is a transition year, going from an internal voltage regulator to a version that lets the ECM determine the voltage. How that works is beyond my IQ.

The older version will 'work' in your car, but it will also cause the battery light to stay on if your car is the 'older' type.

I would also assume the the pulley is coming off the shaft. If the shaft were coming out of the alternator, there would be a disastrous explosion as the alternator self destructs.

Please let us know about your progress.
