Re: Alternator choice

I don't see anything wrong with a more powerful alternator, but don't know if it requires more horsepower to run or if it has thinner armature windings that may not last as long.

Of course with a lifetime warranty and a stored receipt it probably wouldn't matter.

It would seem that 65 amps does OK for my truck's requirements since I haven't added any other current drawing accessories at this time.

Guess I'm just trying to say that a person really doesn't need to get too caught up in the latest greatest most powerful $$$ model if one really doesn't require it.
