Has anybody have any amp problems? Which one you using? Any pics?

Been using one for over 7 years from a 4-runner and it`s bad azz............fires up and shows 14.5-14.7 and powers everything nicely.......

Any more specific information on what model 4-runner? dont know much about them but i bet there may be a whole bunch of versions.
Also is it internaly regulated?

Late model alternator swaps are very intresting.

just put one on my car, it's nice. 14.5 volts at idle.
probably gonna put an electric cooling fan on now coz so much voltage...

get the brackets that arengineering makes, lots of places sell them. mancini is one.

i forget what the alt part number is, the instructions that andy has on his site list all that. i just got a cheap rebuilt alt off of ebay and it works fine. already had the single groove pulley.

I just got the 60 amp one from a friend like new. It says 60 idle 80 at 4500 on tag is that why u guys running. I have msd electric fuel and a big spal fan I am also doing the electric water pump deal. The fan is the big sucker at 25 amps

I use a denso #14611 off ebay. It fits an '87 Toyota Camry. My voltmeter is always at 14 and I've never had to charge the battery, love this setup!
Mine's hung off an AR-Engineering motor plate, He also sells the 3-wire pigtail for the denso alternator.

That sounds like the Viper 2 speed fan on low..
I use the 85A Denso with a external regulator...
I prefer the external regulator.. why trash a alt
because of the regulator went bad.. plus its a
easy test to see if the alt is putting out

I have 1 brand new 14611 left ($90 plus the ride), for $110 I can make it a 1 wire where you only need to run the battery cable, or make it 16 volt wire wire for the same. But I won't have more 16 volt regs for a week. If they ever go bad like P-body says, it only takes a couple Phillips screws to change them under the cover

Bolt the Denso on and don't look back. Been working working with Denso alternators for over 30 years and seen ONE regulator failure. As much as we use our cars you will never need to buy another one and with Andy's kit it makes for a clean install.
Before I got the A/R kit I just used the motor plate to mount it.

Mine is off a 91 Toyota pick-up with a 22RE 4 popper.

Was running the 22RE off an 85-92 4 runner (round plug and V belt). 60A and good idle charge characteristics. Andy's brackets.

Just picked up this, but haven't run it yet. Seller also has a 95A unit.

Can't say I'd recommend it yet, "reman-ed" unit was pretty rough, needing heli-coil, etc.

I need to do SOMETHING. I'm tired of the dim lights at idle. I'm not sure I want to rewire the whole dang car, though. The jumper from the alternator to the starter doesn't bother me but...

A simple fix is to use the halagon lights.. you
dont need to rewire.. they draw way less.. but a
new style alt helps out.. I run the denso 85a and
run a lot of elec stuff and injection... the volts
set at 14.7 at idle
EDIT
I run this light on my Rampage.. its bright and
has a perimeter of white leds and a inner small
light that I also have hooked up to my turn signal

Dim lights at idle is the whole reason why I came up with the Denso swap kit years ago. The Mopar alternator is very lazy at idle while the Denso cranks out a bunch of amps. Just the difference that 50 years of R&D makes I guess. Plus the Denso alternator is 5 lbs less weight to drag around and it seems to be a very reliable design. My wife has more than 200K miles on her 4Runner and the alternator is still going strong.

Seems like amperage is like money.(there's NEVER enough).

I bought a Powermaster rated @90A and still loose a little ground @idle. Of course my load combined is 46 amps and I have an underdrive pulley. The alt has been measured @ 90 amps when the engine revs some.

That`s a great idea...........I have the older halogens which help but that may be my next step if they`re that much better...........

Are you talking about the 60 amper?

I have an electric fuel Aeromotive 1000 HP pump in the tank, electric caravan cooling fan, all working dash cluster, turn signal/brake lights and headlights, Firecore distributor and CD coil.
No Radio, no heater, and or other accessories. That's it.

Those that need really high Amp alternator look into mechman alternator..high in price but works really well..my son is in to car audio sound competition car has 6 batteries total and 1 of the alternator works great and he drives the car..moving up in competition he's going to add another alternator on a custom mount to run the both ..this is a 2001 maxima..
