My 1987 Ford F-250, with a 6.9 idi Diesel, was in need of a new alternator. After ordering through a Ford dealership, and checking with several we'll know parts stores, I was running out of options. The last parts store I stopped at recommended Walz. I'd driven past the shop countless times and while sitting at the light, I'd stare into the old shop windows and wonder that the place was all about. Well today I found out. The shop is an old school mess and I mean that in the best way possible. I used to build traditional Hot Rods and frequented shops just like it so many times. Parts of different conditions everywhere, work benches full of parts and tools. I love it! Anyhow, after a quick inspection under my hood...they knew exactly what I needed. I got home, swapped out the alternator and it was a perfect match. If you have a 80s Ford diesel and need an alternator, or likely a starter too...I highly recommend Walz's. read more
