200 is plenty for most installations. What are you planning on putting in your truck?

It's all relative to the alternator in question, I would imagine.

My alternator's stock rating was 75a peak output and is now a 165a unit after a rebuild.

More than doubling the output (on mine) is high output to me but as already mentioned there are considerably higher output units available for certain applications so my little 165a, to some, might be weaksauce. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Anything more than stock is technically "high output."

Is there any way to test how many amps your alternator is or a website to find it or anythings. I looked at hoalternators.com but didnt give me any numbers for my car.(2001 Chrysler Sebring)Thanks
