WHEN I. M ON THE ROAD WE RUN IT BEARFOOT BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BIGGER ALTERNATOR IN THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THOSE GRID HEATER KICK ON AND OFF THE TRUCK NEEDS MORE

BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I FIRE UP MY AMP

BIGGER IS BETTER FOR THESE TRUCKS

IF I COULD FIND A 250 AMP ALTERNATOR I WOULD BE VARY HAPPY

THANKSOo.

One thing to keep in mind. The bigger alternators sometimes charge at a lower rate, at lower RPMs. Light may come on at idle.

Don't know that you need one with that many amps anyhow. The KW I drive has a 150amp alternator on it, and I have a bunch of lights on the truck and bullrack. Never an issue.

I bought the Mean Green alt. It is 200 amp with a 3 year warranty (unless you race or pull) and it is a direct drop in for our cummins.

The Mechanical Man in Hesperia, CA builds high current alternators that work really well. I've had one in an old Blazer for almost 10 years and it's still working well. Much better than replacing the NAPA unit every 10 or 11 months, especially during winter in Alaska. I put one of their "smaller" alternators in my 2001 last year after the factory unit gave out. So far so good.

Since this is an Alt post?
Is there a replacement ,single wire alt for Dodge,,,

Those Alternators all PEAK at 200 to 250 amps. Use a large case alternator like a 22 SI for our slow turning diesel engines. I'm looking at purchasing this one.
