Need A New Alternater!!!!!

jrponyracer · June 12th, 2009, 02:21 AM

hey guys i think my alternater just went out. Do you know if there is a difference between the different voltages and if there is do they make that much a difference? also what would be the best place to get one cuz i know americanmucle.com has some.

Thanks Jr. Pony

Do you have an aftermarket sound system?

What makes you think your alternator is dead? What kind of symptoms are you having? Have you tested anything yet? If not, pull that sucker out and take it to an autozone to get it tested.

Your oem alternator will be more than enough for your all your accessories but if you want an upgrade get the 130amp, pa performance is a good one. If you go higher than 130 you won't like it at idle plus you will just waist your money.

Have both things checked at autozone... for free just to make sure.

Well the stock alternator is 130 amps, but yeah it'd definitely be a good idea to get both the battery and alternator tested. No reason to just start throwing money at the problem already, right?

Yep....
