Are there any other alternators that will interchange with a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica 3.8 liter?

Hi,

That's a tough question to answer because there are different alternators for the same vehicle. It's based on options and alternator output needed.

If you have a specific vehicle with a replacement alternator, I can check to see if the part numbers cross. Just let me know the specifics.

Let me know. Also, have you confirmed the alternator is the issue in this case? The regulator is an internal component in the powertrain control module.

I'll watch for your reply.
