[QUOTE="80_Cutlass_mn, post: 369102, member: 545695"] Well as far as I know there isnt much you can do to improve cooling but like I said if they put in a higher amperage rectifier, chances are its gonna have a bigger heatsink than the original one but really the only way to increase cooling of an alternator is to make the case bigger, thats why you typically see high amperage alternators having bigger cases due to increased air flow. Cuz remember, the bigger the external housing, the more surface area there is to radiate the extra heat being produced. [/QUOTE]
