[Tigers] MKII Alternator

[Tony Lang]

The 55 amp will not do more that recharge your battery faster, give you the ability to add accessories if you want, like AC, driving lights, old style as newer ones use LED I would think. My guess is you have a bad diode or the internal regulator is bad. I would have the alternator you own rebuilt. BUT that is me. If you don't care about the cost of new vs. rebuilt, buy a new one. Just my 2 cents.Tony Lang (TtT)

Is the 55 Amp ok, or should I look for a lower Amp alternator?
