How many amps does a stock alternator put out?VTISC007 05-10-2004, 02:11 PM I need to replace my alternator. (1988 V6 4Runner) My original gave me 16 years of service. I plan on installing a Warn winch that requires at least 60-70 amps. I also plan on installing a couple of nice off-road lights. Should I go for another Toyota unit or should I try going aftermarket? I have had bad luck with rebuilt alternators. For some reason I have had to replace them a few times under warranty until I get a good one. The only aftermarket one I would probably trust is made by PowerMaster ($550), it supposedly puts out 175 amps at freeway speed and at least 50% more at idle. How much could a stock alternator handle? How many amps does it put out? Brian R. 05-10-2004, 03:09 PM Stock alternator is 60 amps. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
