I beg you,. please dont buy a EBAY alt. Contact Michael, or Jonathan , or Mechman, or  DC Power, or US ALTS, or anyone first please. I will bet a paycheck, they all make something for you, before some clowns off ebay dick you. 

I'm waiting for a response from Michael. What's the best way to get in touch with the others? Who is Johnathan? What company is he with?

Good news guys, I just got a quote back from usalternators and they have two alternators available for my truck, both at a reasonable price. First one is a 285 amp (285 peak, 250 hot) and the other is a 410 amp (410 peak, 390 hot). Keeping in mind that this is going in my daily driver and I will be pushing 5000-6000 watts, with a d6500 under the hood and a few (3-4) xp3000s in the back (will be getting those later on tho) with 1/0 for power and ground, as well as big 3....will I be fine with the 285 amp?? Or should i get the 410 amp? I've read that for a daily driver, you want to go with a lower amperage alt since they make their power at lower rpms compared to higher amperage alts. If this is true, the 285 amp would be a better candidate, correct?

Lol aight bet

My job has been way backed up! Glad to hear. I have just a 240- 250a peak singer, but his work tends to put out more than rated. As stated, every unit is different, but mine was just under $490. Took around 4 weeks to get after it was paid. Dont forget, you will need a shorter belt.

From what i have seen Over the years is you never wanna buy an alt from ebay as they almost never do rated power.
