I have a 00 lincoln ls an i got it from a junk yard for 800 bucks but i have been having some problems like the car die's when driving everything go's out an the charge system light is on but i think the problem was my alternator was bad so i wanted to know if i could fit a 03-06 alternator the oem alternator is 110 output an the 03-06 is 150 output dont know what to do!!!

I dont believe so. Joe CMIIR but the alts are read differently by the PCM...

You bought a Lincoln LS from a junk yard? There's your first mistake right there..

No, gen I and gen II alternators do not exchange. They use very different control strategies.

And they have different mounting points

I hope it's nothing more than just an alternator. My LS had the same problem and it wasn't the alternator. It was an issue with the whole electrical system.
