Alternator reviews?

[colbystephens]

Hi guys.

I'm thinking about buying this alternator to keep up with my increasing electrical needs. Has anyone used it?

This place offers 200amp cs144's also. Have not dealt with them though, still researching myself.

Thats one expensive ass alternator lol. Ill be doing the cs144. If you go on rock auto youll find the 97' caprice 140 amp alternators for $113. If you need the full 200 amps there are kits for that and if you're not reving too high you can over drive it for about 20 bucks.

Tahoe, Escalade and Suburban have an optional 200 amp for the factory. You can get one from Amazon for $130 for 2002 -2006 for the 6.0 l or 300 plus everywhere else.

Do you have a link? I checked on rock auto and they only had 145 amp max for factory.

Interesting. I found one with 9 reviews...pretty much all positive. It says 1 year warranty. Might take the plunge!
