i want to know more.
been reading up on the three or four so called HO Alts. i just don't want to change the size of my belt, i emailed each and every one of these MFG's (manufactures, seams these are all cores). not one could get back to me on the belt size i would need for their smaller pulley. XP was the only one i believe don't have to change belt size.

i was told by a mechanic your consuming current through your batteries, the alt. just keeps them charged unless you are sitting in accessory (engine off) then that's where you would need something HO to replenish your batts a little quicker and stay topped off.
kinda what you two were saying.
i'm not ready for a $500+ alt. my stock is 136Amp.
and from what i have read it seems they're hit and miss and they do not last that long.
some swear with what they have and some wish they chose an alternative.
have plenty of time to continue study and learn more about these HO ALTS.
What's nice is they are pretty quick to change out.
