I've been looking into High Output Alternators.
Does anyone know what the mpg impact would be if I went from a stock alternator to a something like a 200 amp, 120 amp at idle alternator?
I'm just trying to figure out real costs. I'd have to upgrade my isolator. Might have to upgrade some wiring.
My van has a 6.5l Turbo Diesel and from memory, it gets 17-18 mpg now.
If the MPG impact is too high then I'd probably not bother.
