Is this a decent HO alternator?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

I am looking for a HO Alternator for my 1995 Ford Explorer (4.0L OHV Engine)

So I checked ebay out and found this.. link

I am not sure if this is considered as a good one?

It says that the output at idle is 105 amps.. Is that low? How many amps do those decent alternators like iraggi or whatever give out at idle?

If the alternator I just showed is a piece of shit then what should I get? Where can I find it?

I am new to this alternator stuff.. So any help would be appreciated..

and how many amps does it give out at idle?

DB makes good alternators. I know quite a few people that run them (not that same one) on their diesel powered trucks. I have not heard anyone complain about them.

I see..

I heard couple of brands like iraggi, db, excessive amperage, and ohio generator... but my question is how do I get ahold of someone who is selling those or whatever?

They have had a few problems with vehicle specific alts like my 02 Monte Carlo.

I can only speak for the 7.3 diesel truck alternators and that is actually the same alternator after looking at it.

What problems did they have with your alternator?

I will say one thing, I do not like that they use a smaller pulley for the alternator in that ad. I'm not a fan of over spinning the alternator to put out more power at idle.

I have a Stinger 220amp H/O Alt and it is great, but the price was far from great.
