alternator upgrade

[wishbone]

Just curious...what's the end game for this mod?

You end up with a 110 amp alternator instead of the 55 / 70 whatever original one.

Yeh, I know that much.

Yeh, I know that much.

So follow the logic through.... Alt output more than std...power goes where?

Lets just say no probs charging 3 batteries or running my winch

There you go, 3 batteries and a winch! Cheers RH.

I obviously know what an alternator does...just wondered why you'd do this when the stock one seems to do a fine job on the 2 batteries.

Now I know And now I know that when I get to the winch stage, if I do, this is a doable option.

Someone, with welding skills, could make tidy packet (or some good extra income) making up all the brackets and mods we need on these trucks. There's loads of them

There are other reasons such as leisure...fridge, combi boiler, music, camping lights etc.

Dave have you got the part number off of the cruiser alt so we can cross reference it with what's available over here ?

Cheers,
