yep i went to a local alternator shop today curious as to whether they make HO alts and they did and he gave me a quote of 150-175 for a 200 amp alt....im not sure as how the build quality is but its the best alternator shop in my city, real good reputation.
sounds good i know alot of places, that do 1$ per amp if you bring them a stock alt. some will only do large case alts though. local shops are nice because you can go yell at them face to face if you have a problem and dont have to ship it for repair
^ dont know... maybe if you take it to autozone they have thing to test stuff there you can use for free or cheap, but ifhe is from your town and a well known shop. IMO buy it. ask for warranty...
