So is it possible to get high output alternators for our trucks at 200 amps or more or even get a rebuilt kit that will do 200 amps or more?
I used to have one book marked but it seems the domain is parked now.

 

The one that I'm aware of is from a company called Mechman. Large Case 6G Ford T-Mount Alternator - Mechman High Output Alternators Online Store!

 

wow, expensive. I know there used to be rebuilt kits avaliable. Anyone know what happened to those?
My buddy is looking at replacing or rebuilding both his alternators as they almost left us stranded in Montanan with only 8.5v left on the batteries.
And I say both his alternators because he has the ambulance package on his truck.

 

Powermaster makes them... had one on my truck for years until it died. I think it's probably a diode or something, just waiting to get it rebuilt.

 

I believe dcpower in riverside also has them.

IIRC, you cant put higher amp alts into a truck with the ambulance package. The regulation between the two is pretty crappy and I believe they'll end up fighting each other and dying prematurely. Better to do one big one, or put some kind of better isolator or regulator in so they aren't fighting each other.

i think i just saw a 200 amp one on rockauto.com the other day.....the ambulance package one....

 

Thanks for the input guys. We'll definitely see what we can find out and post up what our/his decision is.


I don't understand why they would fight each other. Can you explain. I mean I understand electronics pretty well but they are just generators.
