    Yeah, I’m just going to run it for a while, let the ecu monitors run and it might work itself out.

    I'll just keep looking for a Denso alternative vs a GM alt.

    I would send it back if you bought it new, if it’s bothering you,
    It might just be a faulty regulator or at least have it tested to see if it’s the alternator or something else,
    = ground strap wire, or corrosion or battery or cables etc

    I've been running the GM alternator now for about 2 years and I have no regrets. And the 6 rib pulley has never been an issue for me.

    I’m thinking about switching out the stock 4 rib oem belt to a 6 rib belt is why I was asking.

    Did anyone ever install this on a 3RZ? My replacement OEM alt has started to fail after 3 years (original lasted almost 20).

    I'm only reading 13.3v at idle and can watch it drop off and on.

    Orientation and plug look good. Need to swap pulleys and probably add a spacer to the bottom wedge as it doesn't look as wide as the stock alt.

    Did you ever end up finding a decent fuse? If I remember correctly, your alt to battery wire is 6 gauge, right? I’m wanting to do the same setup but having a hard time finding a 120A inline fuse for 6 gauge cable.

    Recently finished upgrading to the 105amp alternator and so far measurements are looking great (Thanks OP!)

    Now that I’ve improved the charging system, what do people recommend for a choice of battery? Eventually I’ll need to get a new one and I’m wondering if it’s smart to get a better battery or just stick with the regular 24F-DL.

    Currently I’ve got an aftermarket stereo system but I’m also wanting to get some extra lighting.

    Any 24F AGM battery should suffice and it fits perfectly.

    First, i really tried to read the whole thread but, i got lazy and i have a headache. Sorry if i repeat anything.

    About 5 years ago i put a 140Amp in my truck and it's been great. I run a lot of extras (lights, winch, fridge, various radios, etc.). Plug and play. The stock alt just wasn't keeping up.

    I'm looking for the link in Amazon.
