Renix alternator upgrade

[desertmike]

If I posted this before please delete. Been gathering info on a alternator upgrade for awhile. Trying to figure which way to go. The local alternator rebuild shop will rebuild mine to 140 amps for about $150 +/-. Buy something and make it fit or install a  new 160 amp alternator made for the renix.

Anybody tried one of these?

Subscribed. Would also like to know for my plow setup.

It's a Delco cS130. They're common as belly buttons. Bolt right on.

 

You guys realize that doing this without upgrading cables is kinda like peeing in the wind, right?

If you have a 2.5 it's the AC Delco 10si or 12si, depending on trim. These two also came in varying levels of amps, the highest being the 12si with 90 amps stock.

I do have a full set of uprated cables on order from jon at kelleyswip but I'm not sure if I'm going to actually see those.  I ordered a month ago and have not gotten any shipment notices or even replies to my emails since I sent payment via paypal... I was trying to avoid opening a dispute because he does have an auto response email that says he may take a while to respond due to his living situation but its getting into ridiculous territory at this point.

They got the 2.5 alternator with 200amps that's insane!!!!

I would open the dispute, nothing against Jon, but it's just to protect yourself.

I have purchased from Jon before, was all good and he kept me in the loop. Answered my emails within a week, and that wss fine with me. As long as I was aware of what was going on I was happy.

If he has been having issues, it might be best to start the dispute process as a reminder, it may have been lost along the way. It also gives you both more time to deal with any delays and opens a second line of communication.

 

That's just me ... I usually open the dispute on day 45 regardless, been caught a few times by good people having problems.
