[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 401041, member: 540940"] I would say contact the alt companies and ask if they have specs for idle current. There's really no way to know for sure what's going to happen unless you either install it and see - or they are certain their alts will make more current at idle than your stock alt does. FWIW - to me, headlight flickering doesn't warrant a $300 or $400 investment in an HO alternator - unless it's DRASTIC, OR you have a lot of money. Voltage WILL fluctuate on peaks in current draw - that's just how high power amps work, but if your battery is staying charged your alt is doing its job. [/QUOTE]
