My primary is a reman action auto parts. My secondary is still OE. I obviously have two, though. Makes things easier.

I would go with a ford reman or a HO version.

 

Stock should be 110 amp which is kind of weak. I just replaced mine with a 135 AMP from Quick Start Alternators. I have a good sized sound system and DVD players plus all normal stock stuff and it works great. My 110 amp Motorcraft wore out to fast. Money well spent. DC Power is a great choice also, I just didnt have the money for them.

 

I have a 135 amp unit from Autozone. It is okay for me, but my biggest power drain is trailer lights. It sounds like you use a lot of electrical power, so a DC Power unit would be really nice. They're quite well respected. I sometimes wish I would have opted for one, but I was too cheap.

 

195 DC is on my list when I need a new alt. Will make the truck happy for sure.

 

I'm running a DC 195ho from Ed at FICMRepair.com and love it.

 

TAD 185 Amp OEM Series Alternator from Nations Alternator. Works great.

 

I do competition audio in my free time and if you're looking for something pretty fierce that will hold anything you throw at it look into Singer Alternators.
I have an OBS with a 275a hairpin unit on there with 4 extra batteries.

 

IMO the DCPower alternators are the best ones you can get. Getting them from Ed (with his excellent service) is a great idea.

 

well I meant the 190DC don't know why I was thinking 195.

 

I have a xp270 amp alternator from DC power. I have had it installed for almost 2 years now. Even with a travel trailer in tow, a refrigerator plugged into a power port, rear entertainment system running, CB, GPS, wife's iPhone plugged in, and an inverter charging the kids tablet or other game system, I have had no problems.

I wasted a lot of time and money going with cheap autozone units. I went through 7 under the autozone warranty. They would work fine for a few months and crap out. I had the wiring checked and no problems. Installed the DC Power unit and upgraded the wiring and no problems since. Their customer service has been great also.

 

I'll be getting my DC from Ed at ficmrepair.com he is highly recommended when dealing with DC stuff

 

I know I went overkill with the 270amp, but I was sick and tired of the same problems every few months poping up.

Ed has Ben great to deal with also. I got my FICM from him a few years ago. You won't be disappointed.

 

Yep. He has a great company
