big 3?

 

the big 3

 

Ohio Generators have some great alts. they are local to me too. In Louisville OH

 

Excessive Amperage, Irragi Alternator, Ohio Generater


are all top quality companies that I would recommend

 

x2 also check out H-O alternators

 

just get a 300 amp alt from any of the companies listed above....you'll be set lol

 

Would someone have to upgrade anything else for a new alternator? or is it pretty much a bolt on application?

 

bolt on. you have to unplug the wires from the old one first, though, goddddd dont screw them up. but yeah, it's just bolt on. uhhhhh, i think that s10forum.com has a few for sale, one is a 280 and the other is a 190 i believe. and i mean amps, 280 amps.
