I'm thinkign of going with a 140 amp Powermaster alternator and wondered if there would be any other reason for me to do it besides if I go woth an electric f5an, which I am planning to do soon. I know if you're running a serious sound system this is necessary, but any other reason?

Yea.... underdrive pulleys, electric fan, electric water pump, gauges, etc.

So I shoudl probably do it, huh?

Don't have an electric water pump, but I do have underdrive pulleys.

i bought a 140 powermaster last year,and they'll give you a "dyno" sheet and mine actually put out 166 amps..


easy as hell to hook up and since i have my battery in the back i used 4gauge wire,but that's up to you

That's really good to knwo and I actually just ordered it from Summit.

How long did it take you to install it and what did it involve? I'll have mine in a couple days.

it took me and the ol'lady 10-15 min tops (yeah she helps)....just ignore the regulator part..what that green wire is...


now remember without it( i think)....the alt is activated by rpms....anything past 1200rpm....any questions i can/will help.


just look me up...i'm here.

Thanks for the input and I appreciate your offer to help.
