scooter99 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Posted June 11, 2012 Mmmmmmmmm...............................maybe............... I'm psyched about the new bbq. I had a nice Jenn-aire for a while, but it's worn and tired. I'll have to take better care of this one. It's a Weber Summit S-470 and I can't wait to use it! I'm hoping it will be here in the next day or so. Ya we love grilling during the summer especially, we'll grill about 4 or 5 out of the 7 nights a week, and sometimes during the day too. So needless to say we're excited to get to using it! Ya I just got word from the wifey that my sunday is busy with the family. So no worky on the truck on sunday now. So I'm not sure when it'll be worked on again, but it will be soon. Thanks for the father's day wishes. I just saw on facebook that congrats is in order to you as well yes? Did I read that right?

scooter99 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Posted June 11, 2012 Hey guys, quick question. I'm researching doing a 3g swap on my alternator. Its a cheap way of getting more amps for now. Goes from like 90 now, to 130 with the new one for like $50.00. So my question is this. Is that enough to charge the two D6500's? Remember I'm not just pounding at this thing, not now anyway, and I'm only running the 4.600 and the 1.1600. Next question is, I have a lot of room in there, after looking at it, and if I could some how make a bracket and get a second alt in there, what would the benefit be from that? Would I run one alt for the bats only, or would I run both to them? I'm just thinking, that getting one is great, but if I can get two in there......................WOOT!! 260 amps for $100.00 or around that, you can't beat it! Thanks guys!!

scooter99 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Posted June 12, 2012 Well as far as I can tell it's a Ford thing. The alternator I have in there is a "2G", I have no idea what the g stands for or the 2 for that matter! Anyway, they were known to malfunction and cause fires. They then came out with the 3g version which they put in cars, ie taurus, mustang, crown vic, etc. When they did that they made them so they were interchangeable with the older 2g's. So instead of the 90 amp alt I have now, I can upgrade to the 3G alt with 130 amps. I know there's also a 200 amp alt out there as well, and I'm still researching if that can fit or not. IF it can, I'll get that one for sure! But I have a feeling it won't. We'll see. Bout the best I could explain it. Hope that made sense. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
