you can never go too big with an alternator [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
the amperage output should be 117amp standard
and 136amp optional.

Where does a guy find a 170/200 amp 6G for the 3.8L in the 2001+ Mustangs?

To answer everyone questions I would say call Raymond Knight @ SVA power products/Brantford alternator and starter, he helped me decide what I need in an alt for my 1991 civic, he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to vehc electrical systems and he wont try to sell you **** you dont need. His products are also top notch and the shipping is very, very fast!

You might want to check with your dealership first if your truck is under warranty. I was told that upgrading or adding a second alt. would void my warranty. " due to the extra current that the car cannot handle and will fry the computers". why you want so much power anyways? for a plow?...no! it is an intrepid!

So you're saying somehow that adding a second alternator will make your car's accesories/computers to somehow magicly draw more current?

Please explain as this is new to me? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

^ He says that is what he was told, not what he believes

Often the dealership will tell you stuff like that just to discourage some dumbass from ****ing around with their ride and screwing it up.

It won't...an alternator is a passive power source...it won't provide any more power unless it's "asked" to.
