It has been confirmed! All Toyota v6's STILL use the same bolt pattern!
The 150amp 3mz-fe Highlander alternator is a direct swap. The plug must be slightly re-wired, but who cares!
Can you explain exactly how to rewire the plug? I just bought subs today and after driving for awhile I noticed my battery light was on. When I got home I took our volt meter and with the car off it was reading 12.1X when I turned the car on (with all accessories off) it dropped to 11.8X (manual said 13.5-13.7). The manual also said turn your lights on and the reading should drop slightly and then return (to 13.5-13.7), however mine dropped even lower to 11.7X! Anyways time for a new alt. so I figured with my amp and deck I might as well go bigger. So I would like to know how to rewire the plug on that alt.
