I have 2 of their 200amp alternators in my Suburban, and a 250amp one in my work Van...
These are direct replacement size, and will fit right where your 105 amp on is now.
But when you install a 200 amp one, you will need to replace the charge wire from the alternator to the battery, with a 4ga cable...If you go with the 250amp, then you'll need at least a 2ga cable from alternator to battery....
Otherwise, you will burn the new alternator up!!

also upgrade the MAIN fuse on the battery cable because I found out the hard way that bigger alt will with the small factory fuse will leave you on the shoulder of the road thinkin your alt is dead.jessejamesdallas wrote:[Please login or register to view this link]
