So I've noticed my voltage is a bit low at idle, aka around 12.5v.....and it only gets worse on really hot days. I'm assuming it's going bad and I'll prob get re-tested sometime before summer is over.

If I need a new alt, I was thinking of going a bit larger anyway. Right now I'm in between MCR and DB.

At MCR I can get a 160amps max, don't know the idle, for $180 right now, prob $190 when I have the money.

At DB I can get a 200amps max, 105amps idle alt for $220.

My question, which is the better quality choice?


Thanks in advance.

Both are good but get the DB. More power for the price.

yeah that's really what I'm leaning toward. plus the 200amp alt could benefit me in the future once I start modifying to engine and the rest of the vehicle.
