Want a 200 Amp alt, which company?

[bose301s 5,000+ posts]

I drive a 2001 GMC Jimmy 4 door with a 4.3L Vortec V6 and want a 200 amp or so alternator to replace my stock one with and would like recommendations on what companies to look at. I am considering Excessive Amperage, Mean Green, and KnuKonceptz. There were others but I forgot them. Any feedback is appreciated.

Edit: I remembered that I was also looking at PowerMaster alternators as well.

Ohio Gen

I have heard of Ohio Gen as well. I wish there was more of a consensus on who is good, but from reading it almost seems that people have had bad experiences with every alternator company.

Ohio Gen specializes in GM alts though, that would be my first stop Phone # 330-875-6677

Ah. Depending on price now I think I will go with a Powermster as I talked with Sundownz (Jacob) from Sundown Audio and he highly recommends them.

Yea, they have a good price on it so they are still in contention.

Not sure they actually make them, it appears they distribute them, but they would be the ones supporting them I believe.
