swapping out to a larger alternator 06 silverado
hello this is my first posting on this site and hopeful to get some good info i have looked around online but just haven't found what i needed. so i want to get a larger alternator for my vehicle i have the 145 amps but need a larger one for my sound system and soon to have flood lights and more lights added witch all will be converted into HID so i was wanting to know if there is a bigger alternator off a larger truck with more amps that will mount with out having to buy a rebuilt alternator thanks for the help in advance

they have 200 amp alternators at auto stores I think...or maybe just on the internet. I'm not too sure though. I'd get one at least that size with all that you'd be runnin
