run an auxiellary battery

if the car is running the battery should be doing nothing.... if the car is running the alternator should be running everything, an aux battery is a bandaid

Hey Mini, I still haven't done anything to my stock alternator

TacoRunner informed me that V8 Sequoia's run a 150 amp alt!!

I just did a little research on TundraSolutions and found that the Landcruiser 2uzfe motor has a 200 amp alternator and is a direct swap out for the Sequoias and Tundras  .  It's way overkill, but would still be nice to know you have that power if you need it.

Ok, looks like I can get a Lexus SC400 100 amp alternator, used, locally here for $80.

Then I will have *potentially* a 100 amp output (maybe maybe not for it is used), I will have to fit it which means time on new brackets, and possible wiring issues.

Or I can have my stock alternator rebuilt at a shop for $160 and they claim its output will be 120 amps, and they will load test it on an amp machine before I pick it up to ensure my satisfaction.

Recently, what I've learned is that my time has become faaaaaar more valuable than I once considered it, and to be able to  just upgrade my stock part -- which they can do in 2-3 hours -- yields more time to focus and work on other more important jobs that I need to do to my truck.

So looks like it will be a modified stock alternator at 120 amps for me

Thanks for all the feedback
