High output alternator

[Rickster]

Anybody interested in a high output alternator, I have the hookup, 160 amp, $275.00.

Is it a direct bolt in? Does it still match stock output at idle?

It is a direct bolt on, normal idle, with the stock size pulley.

If you need higher output at idle a micro pulley is available for an additional cost, of which I can get the price on Tuesday.

I'd be interested in buyin an alt like this.

I was just worried, because some high output alts put out rated amperage only at high rpm, and almost no output at all at idle.

Between extra sets of lights, and hungry amplifiers I'm sure a better alt is not out of place. Is there any Bling options on the alt like chrome?

John C.

[Rickster]

yes, powder coated black or colors, and chrome are options.

Just let me know what you would like, ie; chrome, powder coat (color), normal pulley or speed pulley, etc., and I will get you a price on Tuesday.

I put mine on before my trip to Vegas, and no problems at all for the entire trip. I noticed my battery voltage recovers a lot faster now with the extra power, I am running 7,400 watts now.

I want either yellow, or chrome. Regular pulley.

I'm only running about half that wattage, I have a PH-D3, and some Tubedrivers, but I have 3 sets of aux lights.

I know the powder coat is $25 additional, but I don't know about the chrome, I'll let you know Tuesday.

You can get a new 180 amp alternator for less than $150, the mod is listed here: PlanetIsuzoo Alternator Upgrade

I have looked around in the past and wanted to improve the risk of having mounted the unit so low and getting water damage. The issue is having the regulator inside the unit. I was looking for a quality unit with a remote regulator. The wiring is more complicated, but no big deal. Does your contact make a remote regulator version? If so, I am in.

I have doubts that a belt of our size can get enough grip to produce 180A.

No doubts mate, seen 'em in person and in use on Isuzus at Uwharrie. Good alternator, gets regularly submerged on tons of 4X4 GM products and is widely (and inexpensively) available through virtually any parts store plus rebuildable at any local starter shop. Try that with OEM! And the best part is the mod has already been developed and tested by other Isuzu enthusiasts. If I go with winches/lights/sound or mine pukes I know what I'm doing, and it won't lighten my wallet too much either. You can be down to your last nickel and still have more money than sense!;pg;

No external regulator, it's all intenal, they use the stock alternator, and wind it up to 160 amps, I had one on my Ford Ranger for 2 years, with no problems, 200 amp. Now I got one or my VehiCross, and so far so good, all the way from Houston to Vegas, and back.

The issue with the internal v-regs is that they aren't always well-sealed (epoxy encapsulation) and are thus susceptible to moisture penetration and subsequent failure. An externally mounted unit or an easily repaired/replaced alternator (such as the GM 180A) is a must for serious off-roading as opposed to our expensive OEM units. At the Ocala meet last June we had three alternator failures due to this issue. Fortunately, all were replaced under warranty.

Are these still available? I would like to buy one.
