Its usualy 80 amps at idle. With the capability of 130 or up to 200 depending on what electrical equiptment your using at the time thats drawing from it.

There will not be 80 amps at idle, no way. At idle w/ no load there will be very little amperage draw.



That alt on e-bay looks like crap. Look at the front of the case. Pass it up and go toa junk yard.

stay away from that suspecious look thing!

You need to know for sure that its a direct bolt up to your factory bracket, otherwise youll be pissed when it an inch too big or visa versa.
