1998 Battery Question

Wondering what the biggest battery i can run up front in a 1998 blazer would be. Looking at xs 3400. Has anyone else put something similar to these specs upfront in a blazer or s10?

all depends on if you want to modify it any? the 3400 should fit with no problem though

It will fit, but the stock alternator will be struggling to survive to keep that charged up.I recommend getting an HO alt as well, to keep that expensive battery charged up properly,and not maybe half charged up with the stock alt.

I had a h/o but it didn't put out any power at low rpm. So i put a smaller pulley on my stock one.

Biggest STOCK I could get over the counter/Orielys was a 140 amp/Stock was like what a 110/90?

I have a motor city reman alt that does 180 amp i believe.
