I have a link on my computer at home, I believe its alterstart.com but I cant be 100% sure on that. but there is a company that sells up to 250 amp stock replacement alts for most cars/trucks. do a google for high output alternators and see what hits ya get.

I have 2 of their 200amp alternators in my Suburban, and a 250amp one in my work Van...

These are direct replacement size, and will fit right where your 105 amp on is now.
But when you install a 200 amp one, you will need to replace the charge wire from the alternator to the battery, with a 4ga cable...If you go with the 250amp, then you'll need at least a 2ga cable from alternator to battery....

Otherwise, you will burn the new alternator up!! :wink:

also upgrade the MAIN fuse on the battery cable because I found out the hard way that bigger alt will with the small factory fuse will leave you on the shoulder of the road thinkin your alt is dead.

Advance Auto Parts has powermaster 200 amp alternators that run like 14.6v for most vehicles. If you find a cheaper price online, take it to them and they'll match it, and get it shipped for free. Can't beat that. I imagine shipping on an alt would probably be in the $20 range.
