[QUOTE="chardy85, post: 6747128, member: 566390"] I was under the impression that Alternators with higher amperage output are going to run around the same voltage levels as OEM ones except they have more Amperage output at lower RPM's. I think the voltage level is more dependent on the size of wire and the battery itself. You shouldn't really notice a big difference in Voltage at the battery just because you upgraded the Alt. You may notice that the voltage doesn't dip or get as low....but I wouldn't expect to upgrade an alternator and automatically get a lot more than 14Volts. I would have just kept the first HO alternator...... Either way, the system looks great. My gma has a grand marquee. This makes me want to get it from her when she is ready for a new vehicle. lol [/QUOTE]
