bigger, better alternator for my 05 GT??

[Chad_Diesel]

Anyone know if there is a replacement alternator that puts out more juice? When I'm bumpin hard my lights dim. If not an alternator, are there any other fixes?

Thanks in advance
Chad

There is nothing available, yet. I have talked to most of the big vendors, and they said the 05+ has some computerized stuff that hasn't been worked out. I assume it has to do with the internal regulator, but I am not sure. I could use a 200-220 myself. We just have to give it time.

Have you upgraded the Big 3? I suggest that you start with that- it helps a LOT. I ran all 1/0 except for the short run to the factory distribution panel under the hood, and I may upgrade that just for the look. I use 4# for that. All wire used was either p3 or Knu. Both are available in several transluscent colors to match up to your car. I used a silver/red and red for +, and silver black/ silver for -.

Big 3 is upgraded wire from alternator to battery, battery to frame, and engine-block to frame. I also upgraded the wire to the distribution panel and to the starter. 1/0 # or ag, or ga, or guage is REALLY large wire. 4# wire is what most people run to their amps nowadays. As the number gets smaller, the wire gets larger. At "0", you add numbers to it so you get 2/0, 3/0 and so on.
