budah93 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 I haven't done much electrical wise in my new suv and came across so unexpected money. I was wondering should I take the money and by two maybe 3 batteries or buy a quality h/o alt. I'm still running the sundown 2500d. If I buy batteries I plan on running an xs d925 under the hood and an xs d3400 in the back. Thanks guys

cjvue Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 Alt first, but buy both (alt and batts) ^^ X2. What he say. Both are equally important. I'd get the alt over the batter if I absolutely have to choose only one.

budah93 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Posted August 8, 2013 I will be buying both but only have funds for one or the other right now. How many amps on the alt should I look for?
graham0599 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 I will be buying both but only have funds for one or the other right now. How many amps on the alt should I look for? The biggest you can fit/afford. Always better to have extra vs. not enough My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678
budah93 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Posted August 8, 2013 I'm looking at a 250 right now..would that be alright?
cjvue Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 A good alternator will be doubling that budget. Don't try to take short cut (or cheap out) when it comes to an alternator. It's the heart of your system that pumps blood (current demand) to your entire system. The last thing you want to do is keep on switching alternator in and out. Let alone the cost for labor and/or repair will exceed the price of a good alternator.

budah93 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Posted August 8, 2013 I have the money to buy a quality one. I don't ever take the cheap route. I've never done an alt upgrade in previous systems so i have no idea what amp rating I want/need. I'm probably going to go with a stinger because I've heard he makes quality ones
