Well it seems like my alternator in the Rubi doesn't want to play anymore. Just wondering if anyone knows of any upgrades for it. It is the original one and I think 117 amp, but if I have to put one in I would rather put something a little heftier in for winching.

Edit: also do we know any go to places for good prices on alternators

They're a fairly common thing in high end car audio, they should be able to set you up right.

Thanks guys....called Kim today and she is gonna gear me up. She said mine was 117 amp and it did everything I wanted it to for almost 6 years so she said she would go with a straight rebuild unless I had any major electrical plans so I will take her advice...

. A motorcycle guy from Falmouth is gonna deliver and pick up for me so that makes it an easy decision too....
