Go to a shop that rebuilds starters, alts and ---- I got a 100amp for like $70 rebuilt

Note the higher amp output comes with more drag when med to full load. Mazda pick up with a 200amp alt couldnt get on the freeway with a med load

He didn't say it outputs 12 volts, "12 volt" means that it's for a 12 volt electrical system.

Exactly how many subwoofers and electric chop saws are you running off your stock alternator for it not to be cutting it for you??

my car had the same problem, I run 3 large amps, undercar kit, inside neons and a bunch of gauges. Just add a extra batt or get a reg alt. the only part that should be killing you is the hard hit from the amps and thats what caps are for.

Well, it's like this. He's a ------- french-canadian, so it comes as no surprise he loves bondo and the sound of rattling gas tanks, but he's awful nice for a french-canadian so you kinda feel bad for hating on him too much.
