Hell Bent for Speed
My stock alternator (55 amp ... ?) is not cutting it, nor keeping up. I notice my volt meter dropping ever so slightly the more I drive it.
I see a drop in the gauge when the E fan kicks on. And even more so in the evening when in conjunction with the fan on, turning on the headlights drops it too.
Is there a stock type, high ampacity alternator that has exterior regulation as a direct replacement to the OEM alternator, or is my only alternative to swap to a 1-wire style alternator with internal regulation?
If I have to change, what wiring modifications will be required to go from exterior regulation to integral regulation?
Any specific ampacity suggested? 100? 160?
