So far every motorcityreman HO alternators I have bought has an output test sheet for stock size pulley.
Fortunately, as a retired master mobile installer I can put it about anywhere I like.

I had a stock alternator rebuilt by guy local to me.
Said he was able to up the amps to just under 155.
I was curious if there was a DIY way to test that.

If that one blows on the PDC I lose basically everything (but the winch would still be hot with the new fuse ran solo). No?

I've got a stock 160amp alt off a durango I'm gonna rebuild to be a 320amp unit. Probably going to order the 46mm pully from mechman for it.

Found out that the four angry squirrels under my hood have taken ill, and they need to be replaced. 
You would think finding a replacement would be easy...........................who wants a lowly 2.5L?
No not in todays USSA.
Sorry to bother you comrades.
I think I will be shopping for a used LADA???

You should eliminate the 4 angry squirrels and upgrade to 6 ill-tempered ferrets, haha

Was considering flat towing the 2000 to Colorado but will be trailer towing the 850 wagon, instead.
The other half will follow me in the XJ. ~800 miles

Pulled some rod ends and main caps and found that this engine is done. So I need a long block or a local shop that can actually do a rebuild.
