Alt Location ?

[ModFreak]

I currently own a 03 Chevy s10 pick up with a 2.2L engine. I was looking at getting a dual alt setup but after talking to a few people and looking at the avaliable space, its obvious i can not.

So the question I have for all of you is...... Is it possiable to mount up an alternator in the current location of the A/C unit. I personally plan on ripping that out any how and that frees up that location.

I am unsure though as i am new to the dual alt set up and am not knowledge fully on what kind of wires and connections need to be made betwen the two alternators.

Thanks.

If you have no use for the a/c than by all means remove it and replace it with a new alt and all you'll need to do is to find or make a new bracket for it to go on.

Let me see what I can come up with for you. Do you already own a high output alt, or pair of alts? If not I can get you some pricing on one or two of them. I'll also check on a bracket for you to see if there is one already made up. I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to do 2 alts especially if you remove the ac from the truck. Let me get back to you.

you can definitely do it by removing the a/c unit but most likely you will have to make your own bracket but that wont be hard to do there was a guy on youtube i watched a while back that was planning on doing not sure if he ever did though

Thanks for the link man, that deffiently gives me a greater idea of what to be looking for and what i will be looking at, did you contact that guy for the part number on the belt. If not do you think you could drop him a PM and possiably share that information with me.

Thanks

What kind of power are you planning on running in your truck? I know you said that you currently have a stock alt, but what does your electrical look like as far as batteries and runs of wire? I would guess that if you were planning on running just one alt that you'd probably want a 300 or so amp model but you could run a 240 or 260 and be fine as well. It all depends on how much power you plan on running and how much reserve battery power you have on hand. Let me know these couple things so I can get a better idea of what you need.
