How Do Alternators Work
Every vehicle with a combustion engine is equipped with an alternator that's also known as a generator. The serpentine belt spins the alternator pulley which causes a rotor to turn inside a stator coil, producing an electric field. It's converted to DC or direct current that your truck's systems can use. Along with providing constant power while you drive, the alternator charges the battery for reserve energy.
