i have heard on this site that there is a stock option on new silverados for a like 160 amp alt, (with a snowplow option) i went to the dealer to try to get one and they looked at me like WHAT? does any body have a part number,and - or is there an aftermarket supplyer of high amp alternators? will i run any risks with such high amps?

 

there are lots of high amp alts out there...

what are you running that needs so many ampers?

 

two compressors (trucks bagged) compressors are runnin quite a bit really draw some amps

 

Anyone?

 

I have a 180 amp that I need to get fixed (I think a wire grounded out somewhere inside) that I will be selling in the next week or two.

You can definitely get a 145 amp from the dealer, and I think the 160 might be available on the police package trucks, but I'm not positive about that one.

 

www.trselectric.com I know they are in FLA but i know they sell at least 200's, thats where my roomate got his @

 

I found my 145 amp take-off on ebay for $50, but that's a rare deal.

 

isn't the stock amp on our trucks a 160?

 

Nope. Stock is 105. Unless you get the one that comes factory with e-fans, then I believe it's 145.
