4.4 TDV8 alternator failed P065A 150K kms
I had hoped that these alternators would last longer than those fitted to the 2.7, 3.0 and 3.6 engines but apparently not, as mine failed at 150K which is very similar to the 90-100K miles in the UK for these alternators. Like the reported other failures of the 4.4's alternators there was no draining of the battery so the vehicle is still being driven short distances between charges. I'll determine what failed in case it can be repaired to keep as a spare.
A Denso DAN1110 will be fitted rather than the very expensive genuine LR which is also Denso. The belts, the tensioner, all idlers and the water pump will be replaced at the same time hoping to avoid any related failures for the next 150K kms.
