 Post subject: Alternator Upgrade??
PostPosted: Sat Jan 04, 2003 2:05 pm 
Hey guys. This is going to sound like a really simple question, but has anyone here ever done an alternator upgrade on the stock 1.8? This thing only puts out like 35 or 40 amps which is pathetic if I'm running foglights, stereo, and the regular headlights at night. Please let me know if theres one that just bolts up to it or what options I've got. Thanks a lot!

I agree I would like some info on this too ! I have a 75 and I pretty much have the same problem. Actually for the time being My wifes CD player went out in her car so I gave her mine, but I had the same problem too.

I have a '79 w/o AC. I was having the same problem as you guys, so I went to my favorite auto parts store and asked for a stock alternator for a LUV with AC. The alternator is physicaly so much bigger than the old one, although I don't know what the amperage is. Anyways, with the new alternator, I have no problem powering fog lights and an electric fan.

Nice to know. I think there are going to be many more LUV's with A/C all of a sudden. :)
