Stock for a 1/2ton truck alternator wise is 63 amp. This style amp can also be bought stock in 78 and 91amp versions. I found out about the 78amp one a couple years ago and bought it as I had a large sterio. Well, I only bought the 3yr warrenty and its going out. Lucky for me, I work where I bought it [checkers] and get 25% off. Also found a lifetime warrenty 91amp for only $10 more. So for $10 I get 13amps more and lifetime warrenty. Sweet. But now I don't have the sterio, and won't for a few months. Will running a monster alternator without the need have any adverse affect on it?
