.....If I ever need more power I would likely lean toward the Denso product. I saw some reference to Delco and I have to say that in 35 yrs trucking over the road and 3 million plus miles I have NEVER had any luck with a Delco alternator. Leece-Neville has been my preference. Even the new throw away 160 amp ones they sell for under $200 are good for over a 1/2 million miles in my experience. They are a little on the huge side tho.

I agree, it's not a good idea to use car alternators in heavy trucks. The Densos still have lower output at idle and the Leece-Neville stuff is so big it's hard to fit in anything but large trucks. The CS144's are good for both their low speed output, size, lifespan and my intended purpose.
