Jeff D Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hello guys, new to the group. I am working on a 1998 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 engine. Do the make a duel alternator kit for these trucks where you can keep the a/c. The factory alt is on passenger side and the a/c line runs right over top of the factory alternator. I know the duel kits put 2 alts in that place so what are people doing with a/c line to the condenser. Is there a different a/c line you can use or a way to move the line out of the way. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerc998 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 How much power you trying to run? You might be able to do one big alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 They make a kit to add 1 alternator on the passenger side next to the stock alt location for 2 alts total. You nay have to remove your factory air box though for this kit. They also make a kit to add 2 alternators on the driver side next to the ac compressor plus your stock alt location for 3 alts total (what I have on my Tahoe). You can run 4 alts total on these engines without removing ac or anything else. Pretty sure there is another bracket for 5 or 6 alts total but its pricey and what JP has on his Tahoe.
