Unless you are regularly burning the alternators out, a larger unit by
itself will not solve your problems. The one area that does need
improvement is the size of the wiring from the alternator to the
battery, and then to the fuse box.

Subject: Big Alternators

Hi all,
Hey, I know I have heard mention of 110 or 120 amp
Alternators on the list. Stock ones are 90 amp. Who
knows anything about the bigger ones & where do you
get them. Make & model would be helpful. I'm wanting
to upgrade for an auxilary battery set up that keeps
running into problems.

Thanks,
