    Stock Alternator Specs??

    Okay I'm wondering what our stock alternator is rated for amps? I just did my system and at night I'm seeing some serious strains on my electric system.... just wondering if anyone knows the ratings? Would it be best for me to get a new alternator? Redo the "Big 3" wiring, or a new battery???

    It's on the corporate website...ummmm I think the V6 is 85 amps...not sure about the 4 banger.

    replace your stock battery w/ an optima yellowtop (or any type of deep cycle battery). do this asap.... u dont wanna be bumping your system and then have that crappy battery die on you, then get stranded in the middle of nowhere. (i had to find that out the hard way.... :cry: )

    also u can get your alternator rebuilt, mine pumps out 130 amps
    no more dimming lights for me
