I was just wandering if i need any alternator ugrades on my truck because im getting ready to purchase some 05 e-fans for it. I dont have any aftermarket stereo equip or anthing else that draws a lot of power. Thanks.

 

Tim, I did the '05 E-fans and didn't upgrade the alternator...no problems yet...everything works awesome (so far)...when you turn on the a/c though yet can watch the voltage drop for a couple seconds, from 14 to down around 12.. I dont think you should have any probs, good luck!

 

thanks alot bud!

 

do a search...someone on here figured out what to do about the voltage drop with the e fans not too long ago to where you dont notice it at all...

 

Mine has the 145 Amp alternator and still drops slightly.

 

i completely missed that. sounds interesting.

 

since my conversion i used the Fbody alt which is actually smaller then the trucks. 102 amps compared to 105. i also have fans and stereo. my stereo has a compacitor but i never have charging issues

 

good to know!!

 

What ever you do don't buy an alt. from Alterstart Systems, Inc. out of Dallas TX,
I bought a 235 amp to replace my 145 amp because I am running 5 E-fans and a meth and intercooler pump. I would get a battery light and a my computer display would read "battery not charging" at WOT at about 80 to 90 mph. I called them up and he was very nasty saying I shouldn't be going that fast anyway. A coouple of days later it wouldn't charge all the time at idle. I called them up and told them I wanted a refund it doesn't work properly and its only been on my truck 3 days. He said the don't give refunds but if I send it back they will check it out and if faulty would exchange it. It just pissed me off that he would Bitch at me for my driving habit.

 

yeah, WTF, is he your MOM?
