[QUOTE="QtrHorse, post: 1652202, member: 567206"] It looks like you have a Ford alternator there (3G). If you wanted an alternator that is not going to die, look here; [URL="http://www.penntexusa.com/PX525.htm"][COLOR=Blue]Penntex Alternator[/COLOR][/URL]. They are pricey and they are externally regulated, which will make them last much longer. If you want to see a really sexy alternnator, look here; [URL="http://www.alternatorparts.com/dual_rectifier_big_ford.htm"][COLOR=Red]Monster Alternator[/COLOR][/URL]. This unit is also pricey. I have some decent photo's of my change out to a large case 3G 200 amp alternator on my Ford truck. If your going to go w/ a big amp alternator, you really need to get a larger case alternator if possible or get one that is externally regulated. When you make a stock case 90 amp alternator into a 200 amp unit, they tend to run hot and that ends up killing them. I didn't go externally regulated on my new alternator but I did go w/ the larger case unit (hopefully this will aid in the longevity of the new alternator). I'm not really using mine for audio, it's more for other items (inverter, lights, compressor and some misc., fuse blocks). [/QUOTE]
