I put a stereo and amp in my Runner, now it seems like the alternator is not able to keep up at night. What is the largest alternator / regulator combo I can put in without any rewiring? Any brand combos appreciated.

thanks



When your wiring was brand new, the Packard style connectors on your bulkhead connector would handle about 45 Amps briefly. Police/taxi setups on Satellites and Furys do not use the bulkhead and ran the wire directly to the ammeter. Your FSM should have the 55 Amp and higher alternator connection diagrams. It takes heavier gauge wire and does not break the connection at the firewall. The lower amp wiring is still in the bulkhead connector but taped off.
BTW, I am skeptical that your stereo draws that much current.
