[QUOTE="yischrax, post: 6768431, member: 555698"] biggest problem with just rewinding a alt is usually if I am not mistaken you will need to change out pulley to get as many amps as you are looking for at idle. Though the largest failure to just rewinding your alternator and not buying one from HO Alternator, Dc Power,or Ohio Generator or other quality alt. is because they are using the stock rectifiers and regulator they are not made to control that much amperage and die other times people will put the smaller pulley so the alt will spin faster like it needs to make the amperage at idle and the bearings are old and go bad from the higher rpm's it is spinning at. I have also know friends who have had them rewound and didn't have any problems but they were only getting them rewound to a extra 25% or so over stock as that will be safe and running a 4 channel and 1500 watt sub amp. I would say it all comes down to you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
