Check the specs on replacement alternators for the 3.0 as it seems that LR has reduced them from 180A to 140A. A 140A one can be expected to fail as quickly as the 140A 2.7 alternators rather than the longer lasting 3.0 alternators. My son Justin has acquired a 220A 4.4 TDV8 alternator and fitted a free-wheeling pulley as normally fitted to the 3.0 in place of the 4.4's fixed pulley. The diodes shouldn't be working close to their current limit for nearly as long especially when compared with a 140A.
Original 3.6 TDV8 alternators are renowned for their short lives, moreso than 2.7 D3/D4 alternators.
