lol everybody asks me if i have a supercharger on my truck. it sounds cool as hell but the last 4 months or so iv had this whine and i could never figure out where it was coming from. finally narrowed it down to my alternator. then i notice my voltmeter jumping around while idling.

any recommendations for a higher amp oe alternator for replacement? im guessing its just plug and play. this is my daily driver so i want to replace it before it goes out.

 

Check the Classified section... there is always something in there..
Your voltage shouldnt jump around either.

 

just get a 145 amp one. Like Johnathan said, there's always one in the classifieds

 

I had an alt. like that on my mustang. it sounded exactly like a blower, it was pretty cool !

one day i took my belt off and the alt bearings were so wore out, that you could move the pulley in ways that it was never meant to move!

 

you can get a 130 that came on a tahoe or burban or the 145..

My 130 i t4ested 2 nights ago on my truck put out 160 at full load and around 50 just at idle.

 

I just bought one on ebay(hasent arrived yet), theres some more still there at same price. 55$ free shipping remanufactured 145A.
