2003 6.0L alternator

I need your help. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I have a 2003 F350 6.0L 4x4 dully and my alternator went out. I want to install a 150 amp in place of the 110 amp alternator. Can i buy the 150 amp for the top dual set up and install in place of the 110 amp? Is there anything that needs to be modified or can i just install the 150 in the 110 place or am I stuck with the 110 amp. Your feed back would be greatly appreciated. The plug and mount look the same.<o></o>

Same as me 2003

DC Power has em 185A 190A 250A 270A whatever one you want they ALL will work for your application

there all GREAT Quality just depends what you want how much amps you need and how much money you want to spend

IIRC I spent 370.00$$ on my 190Amp with the wire upgrade and shipping
they will overnight if need be great people to deal with
I cant find the receit

There are some decent prices on high amp alternators on Ebay.

yes bought direct on the website I posted

they threw the wire upgrade in for free website had issues that day I was helping them with some email stuff

Imnot shure but if you go with the 250Amp or 270 one the wire upgrade is more involved I think its more than the 1 wire you will have to ask them about it
I couldnt afford the 250 amp at 550.00 bucks and another 100.00 wire upgrade IIRC

Thanks Steve, I drive right by there on the 91 a couple times a week.

I didn't even notice they were in Corona, and that is usually the first thing I look at.

This is one of those pieces where it's not about the price it's about the quality. You can get alternators at a lot of places but they don't last. The DC is a great quality high amp direct replacement that lasts. They also have a great reputation with the high end stereo crowd.
