[QUOTE="Bdubbs, post: 16510755, member: 99175"] 1. What alternator did you choose, price, and why. Nation's 2. At what point do you need a 130, 185, 200, or 240A? Not sure, I'm running a fore return fuel system. 3. Did you do the big 3? What kit did you use and was there mods needed (splicing, etc.) Yes, Nations. Crimping, running bigger grounds. 4. Did it fit or did you need to grind, and if so how hard was it? Fit like stock. 5. Did it come with a pulley at all, have options for 2lb or 4lb lowers? Yes. Nation's said I could run a smaller lower without changing alternator pulley. They run a larger standard pulley. I believe mine is 2.9", but standard is now around 3.1". 6. If you replaced the pulley what brand, was it easy, and did it line up? See above. 7. How many miles does it have on it so far? It's a few years old, probably only 4k miles. 8. Does your battery light flicker or did the fix disable the light all together? Periodically. But only at higher rpms. I monitor voltage on my aeroforce gauge. Never drops below 13.5 at wot to redline. 9. Other issues I forgot or statements as you see fit. I initially had to install a washer between the alternator bracket and alternator. Alignment was off and belt was walking. I believe nation's might have added a washer now? Other than that, I recommend nations alternator all the time. The external regulator is awesome. You can adjust voltage. While cruising or at idle my voltage is 14.3-14.7 range with every accessory on. I have a Nations thread. I'll look for it and update my post. Below is my review.
