Re: alternator suggestions?

Concider a smaller pully for the alternator to get it turning a bit faster..

Your also not saying if you already have an internally regulated alternator or the old external type.

Type "si alternator" into Google and read what comes up.

I was looking into smaller ones but I have a march serpentine belt kit on there and they seem to mainly only have one size diameter of pulley. Also I currently have an internally regulated alternator right now. Do you think a 100amp would be sufficient or something bigger incase I ever get a radio or a heater in the truck?
