4 Cylinder Guys...

[Gearstix]

I have a 2.2L 4cyl in my truck, thinking of putting in a 6.2L diesel, but I might not.

Just wondering about larger alts on 4cyls, is the drag noticable, do they do any damage to the engine over time?

I know theres a few of you guys with CRXs and stuff....

Pending on what type of truck it is, it might not be cost effective to switch to a diesel, as you will have to replace the Transmisstion (to be able to handle the torque of the diesel) and possibly the driveline, rear differential and brakes.

I would talke a look at this post to address your question about the alternator.

Adding additional Alternators won't affect the engine at all and theoretically yes it will take a little bit extra effort to turn the belt, since there is another pully added. But I think the big question is how much load will be on the alternators?

Well getting a fully rebuilt engine thats about 98% complete with 40,000 miles for free really helps the budget.
