something like 80-90 amps.CuriousJ0N said:What does a stock 3.4 put out?
Sorry, stock alternators are not that generous.peekay331 said:something like 80-90 amps.
hmm...you are right in that it doesnt put out 90 amps. but i'm guessing 70-80 bc kragen, autozone, and the others all sell 80 amps as replacements. who knows. but i feel bad for your 60amp output!ShowStop said:Sorry, stock alternators are not that generous.
My stock alternator is 60a output, and I heard of others that have a 70a output. The 2005 models might be bigger, but I know the pre-2005 models were never that large.

What does puting in a bigger Alt do? What sort of things are needed for a bigger one?dezracer said:Where can I get a 120 amp or larger alternator or what toyota engine can I swap an alt. from to a 3.4 taco motor????
If you are running lots of accesories like extra lights, winches, etc. In a crunch, an alternator is a generator. If your accesories suck up more juice than your alternator can produce, it'll start draining your battery. If your battery constantly drains, the life span of that battery will be reduced drastically.Jesters_taco said:What does puting in a bigger Alt do? What sort of things are needed for a bigger one?
The 05 with tow package has a 130A alternator, now we just need a wrecked 05 to see how hard it is to adapt to the 3.4ShowStop said:Sorry, stock alternators are not that generous.

They ship you the alternator with some washers that are welded together. You'll need to use them as spacers. As for the wiring, you'll have to cut your old plug off and install the new plug. Make sure you KEEP your old plug, just in case you need a backup. I own one of his alternators, and I love it. I think there was a Mr.Alternator link here...and thats supposed to be plug and play. If I knew that from the start, I would have went that route. (if you didn't need/want 220amps vs. thier 150amp).shovelracer said:I am thinking of getting the same 220 from Iraggi. Did you need to modify anything to make it fit. Brakets, wirings, or any issues along the way. Any help would be great. They swear theirs are better than the competition. There are so many choices though.
Thanks
