Need a better alternator
The stock 130A alternator isnt curring it anymore. Even with "The Big 3" wiring upgrade, Im only seeing 13.2-13.5V while driving around. Getting about 13.1 at idle. Looking at a 200A alternator like this one
CHEVY TRUCK CKRV NEW ALTERNATOR 200A HIGH AMP 2003 5.3L | eBay
anyone have any luck with these?

I bought one of those for my 03 silvy 3500 a couple years ago, to occasionally power a very big power inverter and air compressor.
I never tested it to confirm power output but did use it to run a window ac unit, fridge, computer, and tv when our power went out. Never had a problem with it.
Prior to it I burned up 3 145 amp alternators from orielly's.
