Ok guys/gals
This is not a group buy or anything but I thought I'd share some promise. A reputable alternator guy that does upgrades says for approximately 210 he can get 160 amps and a rebuld out of our factory alternator. I am awaiting a definite confirmation on this as I hav etalked ot many builders and they keep telling me no can do..So this would be great!
Sure a 3g upgrade is cheaper but I've stayed away due to the size and rotating mass of the larger unit. PLus 110 amps isnt all that bad unless the alternator itself is bad. 160 out of our factory alternator may be a good thing
Now I have done a lil bit more research and may have found a bolt in alternator with 130 amps that is about the same size as our factory alternator but will run cooler, be more reliable and be less of a drain then the 3G. Now I dont want to say what it is just yet till I make sure it works (I ordered one yesterday). Funny how before reaching 60,000 miles my alternator decides to day bye..Along with my motor mounts and various other lil dodads
Anyway I iwll get back to you on #1 as soon as i get confirmation that they can indeed do that and #2 by sometime next week.
HAs anyone else treid any other conversions besides the 3g?
