heavy duty alternator

[pantera1683]

My alternator is about to take a dump on me and I would like to replace it with one with higher capacity, any recommendations?

I found a 200 amp reman on ebay, I think I will go with that one.

Approach with caution - If that thing goes full current due to a failure, you will probably end up with some toasted wiring. The heavy red wire from the alternator is sized for the output of the stock system which is 130 amps (I think). Why do you need more capacity?

I'm going with the 200 amp alternaotor because I added some electrical accessories that are taxing my stock one. With all my accessories and lights on I only get about 11.5 volts. I had the system tested at autozone and the result was low output under load.
