What did u do to your raptor today?

[badm0t0rfinger]

Anyway, looked up a few possibilities for an upgrade… DC alternators in CA, expensive and a modest increase in amps, over stock…JS-alternators in SC, slightly more cost, but much more amps over stock…(is there a point that too much amps is too much?). And then the local parts stores with remfc and or same stock amps or slightly more at a cheaper price point? Hmmm ? What would U do?

I am pretty confident that there's no harm in having a 400 amp alternator. As long as everything else is good to go that just means you can have a higher amperage load (lights, winches, etc).

Oh the days of getting police alternators in high school to run all the dumb shit we wired up

Hell, I had one built at a local electrical shop just so I could run 2 10's, something like 2500 watts of amp, a farad cap, a/c cuz its hot in the ATL, oh and lights cause they are important

My dad had one of those mercury marauders when they came out in the early 00s... if you can find a mint one of those I'd highly recommend it.

oem is the most reliable. if yiu need higher current, there are several places that can give you more amperage. however because they wind then up so tight it causes heat issues which shorten the life. i used to burn through alternators once or twice a year when i used to do spl stuff. and at $700 a peice, it was an expnsive habit. go with what you need, not what you want on this. generally the more amperage, the less life it will have.

good advice
