When I was having problems with my alternator I had a guy at DC Engineering rebuild mine, which is on my side of the water. He rebuilt it to 160 amps and I never had a problem again. It costed me the same price as a stock one from the auto parts store, roughly 145 bucks.

Although it did cost me around 700 bucks though. The truck will be straight pimpin soon enough. The daily drive has to be done first though. Hope this helps.

I will be running a full air suspension setup, BIG *** STEREO (you guys haven't seen a nice clamshell cab in a while) with a few other added power accessories. It should do the trick nicely.

I reckon I can stick with the 160 then.
