I have a 2003 v6, i've had to replace the alternator several timesmost likely because of my sound system. I know I need to get a capacitor.. I last replaced my alternator a few weeks ago, the car hadn't been running for a whole day. When I put it in and started my car up the alternator was too hot to touch after less than 5 minutes. Can someone tell me what the correct size should be? Because something doesn't seem right about this one.

Thanks

 

There are 200amp alts available. The one you most likely need is a 130amp. Advanced has them, the Motorcraft ones are the best thing to go with.
