Replaced alternator

[acidfire52]

Wow is all I can say. I just upgraded my alternator from a remanufactured 80amp unit with a used 140 amp... like night and day.

My 80 amp used to whine and jsut seemed underpowered. The 140 is silent and my idle is much smoother..

Best upgrade I have done yet.. :D

Now I'm interested. Mine is dying, and my lights everywhere are a little 'fadey' sometimes. especially right when you press the gas, then they get bright lol... POS.

How much did this cost you?

:) Changing fron 80 amp to 140 amp, cool, but what do you have to do to change amperage? Bentley says NO, but I gotta do something ASAP. Would like to bumu up to 140amps , but what's the process in incressing amps?

but what's the process in incressing amps?
Change from the 80 watt alternator to an 140 watt alternator. No other changes needed.

DaveVoorhis, You mean all I gotta do is turne a few bolts and swap alt's then it will be done. Thanks ror info.

[DaveVoorhis]

Yes, that's it.

I got a used one locally for $80. Figured that was a pretty good deal.
