So i found out today my altenator is ****. I was just wondering would having a crappy alternator cause my car to suddenly die after about 30min. of off and on driving? And how many amps would you guys recomend for my new one????

Did your battery die as well??? What you can do with a new alt is to upgrade to a 130 amp, this should do the trick.

yeah it would kill the car

the 130 amp is the one that everyone is upgrading too

it has been pissing me off, im almost 99% sure it is the alternator because the battery is a 1 month old optima. I will start fine but if i drive it for to long it will just die, and it is hard as hell to start up again

take it to a auto parts store and have them check it

anything that 130+ amps

i'm guessing you have underdrive pulley's on right? if you do, get the 130 amp alternator or put your stock alternator pulley back on if you go back to the 60 amp alternator.

no underdrive pulleys, but what i was thinking about just getting them while i have the alternator off
