Hey, So I'm going to be picking up a new alternator for my truck today and was wondering what I should get.
Its a 99 ranger with the 3.0L, I'm running a new stereo thats about 1000 watts combined, and I have 8 KC off road lights I use quite often in the winter time (about 800w combined), and I plan on adding reverse lights and heated seats. I was thinking a 130 amp alternator would work but now I'm thinking I may need a 150 or something.
Also is there a write up on how to add dual alternators to a ranger?
What battery should I get? I would like something like a Red top Optima but is there any similar batteries you guys like with good warrenties? (Yes I need a battery cause my current one is almost 11 years old now. and I don't trust it to keep cranking in the winter time.
Thanks guys
