It works great but i have nothing extra in the car. This spring i want to put a kilowatt worth of subs in the trunk and upgrade the sound system. I also have a MSD system and electric fans waiting. I know the stock alt wont take all this. I was looking in to upgrading to a 120 amp Denso alt out of a Ram but came accross this mopar alt in summit. Has anyone tryed it? How does it work at idle? Thanks. I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

If you are putting a bunch of heavy draw electronics in the trunk, I would think you will need at leat a 100 amp alt.

I worry that it suffers from the same drawbacks that the normal bigger mopar alts suffer from. Crappy idle performance. For that same price i could get a denso kit.

Its only 40 or 60amps. ...i have my alt wired right to the battery so it bi-passes the amp gauge. Even with the stock alt this helped things alot.

I thought the alt gauge powered other "stuff" under the dash? Just added the heavy wire with a 40amp fuse. From the B+ on the alt to the POS side of the battery. No other changes. Everything works like normal but my alt gauge no longer moves much (because most of the current is flowing through my new wire). I had a little over 1 volt worth of voltage drop with the 40 y/o stock wiring.
