Hey switch hitter, i found that guy. He lives by me old house and i could have my friend ship it down. Do you recommend his alternators? Does he run good bizness? Did you purchase a high output alternator? Any need of service or did you use your warranty? Did he give a warranty on the alt? Sorry about the million questions but these are things i need to know before I invest in this.

Guy, try Mean Green ( www.mean-green.com ).  I have one of their 200amp alternators in my Explorer.  I'm not sure of all the details,  but what I do know is that it has made the differences I needed.  ( I can run my 1800 watt rms amp for the subs,  300 watt rms amp for the speakers at high volume,  the headlights,  defroster,  windsheild wipers front and rear,  and rear defroster, while pushing all window switches,  and it will only show a small small dip in voltage loss.  The stock would have shut down)  

It works well,  was a direct bolt on (the alternator is noticealby larger than stock but still fits in without any modifications, granted you have to coax the heater returns a bit, but no big deal)   Also plan on upgrading the positive and negative cables (no big deal though,  you can use the stock ones in conjunction with new ones with some new hardware)   and plan on replacing the fan belt to a slightly smaller size (about 1/2 to 1 inch).

if i were you, i would not try to find some one to build me such a big alternator, i would just run dual alternators, one for your system and one for your ride..........but that's up to you, i would just find it cheeper and in my eyes better.

if anything, running duals would be more expensive.  You'd need brackets, wires, a new belt.   Not to mention, you now need to find more space under the hood.  Not an easy task with a truck with wires and tubes running everywhere.
