That's a beastly little alternator you have there.

Judging your profile picture "chow audio" I bet you need it too for all the audio equipment in your Jeep.

I'm still running the stock alternator, but I pulled a 136 amp alternator from a Dodge Durango that I plan to swap in some time before next year.

How many amps to you pull?
When loaded, does it draw down your idle?

"What size is your alt?"

That's kinda personal, but I haven't had any complaints.

90 amps... it seems to charge up my battery OK. Do I need more?
At least it's a powder coated re-furb so it's nice and shiny!
