[QUOTE="mastershake575, post: 8776119, member: 665251"] That sounds way too high price wise. Mechman sells the 240amp 2008 Tundra alternator (4.0L or 4.7L) for $420 and then it's maybe an hour to hour and a half labor to install it. Singer alternators would probably be same price range but possibly higher amperage I wouldn't do it. I see so many people spend $300-500 in adding an extra battery (large AGM or lithium battery + battery isolator + charger) and for basically the same price you can just buy an aftermarket alternator that will actually CREATE the power you want instead of just adding a band aid to it No there's a huge difference. I remember years ago swapping my 750 watt soundqubed korean amp (nothing fancy, think the fuse rating was only like 75 or 80 amps) between 3 different cars, all of which similiar stock alts to the topic creators (Chevy Cruze, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima) and every single one of them saw rapid voltage drop. The Altima even had a Northstar AGM battery under the hood as well. It's not physically possible to create the power he's wanting on 50 or 60 avaliable amps. The battery route will be more expensive and more work then just buying an aftermarket alt [/QUOTE]
