Unless you guys come up with a better solution, I plan on buying the Premier Power Welder alternator when, and if, my stocker goes out.

Scott,
WOW, that bugger is expensive! The 160 amp alternator lists at $799 for the saddle mount and you still have to sort out pulley and wiring issues. On top of that, It only puts out 60 of its 160 amp output at idle. Compared to the PowerMaster at $149.95 which outputs 60% at idle this is not good. My goal is to provide an alternative that can offer a better alternator at less or about the same cost as the factory one. If you plan on using the power welding side of it, I guess you could live with the high cost. But I personally wouldn't spend that much money. I think I will continue persuing the avenue I am to give people a choice. It's tough to justify that much money.
