Last year I was having problems with all my lights flickering and dancing. You can read more in this thread; https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...me-inside.html

So I think I have come to the conclusion that my alt. is going bad. What should I replace it with?

Right now my radio is all STOCK.. and I have a Red Top Optima..


Thanks

Well, you can take your chances with AZ or O'Reilly. If you do, just make sure they put it on the machine and prove that it works, first. I've seen lots of the folks here say you can't go wrong with a NEW Delco, though.

They don't make new Delco units, the best you can do for that route is re- manufactured, which isn't really a step up from what else is out there.

Best thing to do is seek out a specialty alternator/starter shop in your area, and have them rebuild it. I did that with my alternator, and they charged me 140 bucks for hop it up to a 140 AMP, with heavy duty everything on it.

This is what ill be doing here soon when I move the alternator up top. Its been covered in PS fluid and had 170k on it.

Autozone sells new ones for $160 after core charge, just dropped one in my buddies car looked to be well made and its been flawless for almost 1k miles.

I'm going on almost 2 years with my Pro-Start from PepBoys.

$149.00 Lifetime warranty, so I'll never pay for an alternator again.

1000 watt amp blasting with a 12" woofer, headlights on high beam, A/C blasting on high.....it doesn't skip a beat at all. No dimming problems at idle or under throttle, its perfect.

I may look into Pep Boys or a Napa alt...


I just don't trust AutoZones alts

What is the stock amperage on my stock alt?
