Alternator help


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 1978 F-150 xlt ranger and it has 460 with a 60 amp stock alt in it.

I am ungrading to the system in my signature and want some help with deciding an alternator to use.

Thinking of runnin the XS 2400 as a second battery to a yellow top d35 and wanna run a 140 amp alternator.

will voltage drop be a huge problem for the system tht i am putting in it.

The Build:

-2002 Dakota ext.

-Walled off tuned to 32hrtz

-3 SA-15s dual 2 ran down to .33ohm

-2 batterys

-stock alt

-AQ 2200

-Knu 1/0 runs and big three

i'd definitely upgrade the alt if you plan on running 2k. 2 batteries should pair up well. also the big 3 as well.

yea big 3 is already done. just askin if tht 140 amp alt upgrade will not have a ton of volt drop with those two batteries.

you should be fine, but if you're that concerned then you can upgrade to some model in the 200 amp range.
