Mechman sells alts with any voltage you would want.

You could buy a new regulator for your alternator. Might want to look into a step down voltage regulator for the rest of your stock electrical system.

local place by me makes external regulated, I have to call them about another persons car I can ask how much for yours too if you want. Are you getting rid of the ac? if you want they sell a 300 amp leece neville for about 900-1000 that would destroy any other one out there. It would fit on your truck with modified large ac compressor brackets. That alternator cant be beat.

You do know that your amps will need to be able to handle higher voltages.If your just looking for slightly higher voltage cjeck out the MLA voltage adjustment module.They set your factory alt to a higher voltage then stock.I wouldn't go any higher then 15.2v though.

not all amps need mods to run 16v.

about how much cash are we talking about to buy a step down and a regulator? pretty much any alt can have a regulator added right?

and where do you get this stuff?

can i remove or disable the internal regulator, or would that be something i'd want to send the alt back to iraggi for?

or would i even need a different alt?
