High Output Alternator

[LordFinesse]

Well, after doing the big 3 with 1/0 wire, and i out in a mean green hd headlight harness i noticed something last week, i was driving through the inland empire (san fernando valley, ca) and it was in the 90s, i had the AC cranked up, the radiator fan was on and my stereo was bumpin (always) anyways i noticed that the voltage dropped from a normal 14.5-15 to a measley 12.5 with the AC and radiator fan on, i think i need an alternator upgrade, especially because i plan on putting a Big blow through box in about the next year, what do you guys suggest?
Oh its a 93 C1500 4.3l V6

there is a local company that will rebuild one for $100 or so to any spec you can think of....

hmm, sounds good, im looking for a 200ish amp upgrade, just something to keep everything nice and charged, eventually when i get my new system in there i will be running dual batteries, who does this upgrade out in TX?

Check the yellow pages, with the car scene out there I'm sure there is someone local that can do the same thing....

if you have the cast style engine brackets( which you should) you can run the 140a OEM alt off of a 97 c3500 diesel truck. The plug is different but I am sure that could be made to work pretty easily I know the alt will fit though I tried it on one at the junk yard the other day.
