or upgrade to a 100- or 200-amp variant
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Coug, I think you mean dual amperage 200 amp alternator. They are all 24 ( 28 Volt).Since you have to replace it at this point anyway, you might consider switching to a 24V alternator instead. Much higher reliability and more plentiful in the market. Not all that complicated to make/modify the brackets to mount it. Just have to get the correct pulley.

I guess.Gentlemen, Sielman is a Greek manufacturer of the Prestolite/Leece-Neville 60 amp AMA5104 alternators. Southern Automotive is the American manufacturer of these alternators and their parts so their front housing will fix this problem. 100 and 200 amp alternators that cost upwards of $500 is a very expensive way to replace a $65 part wouldn't you think?
I've been a HMMWV owner/driver/repairer for the last 20 years and have seen this disturbing trend where new owners do no research and just continue to throw money at their trucks. Sometimes it's the only way to go but spent a little time rather than a whole lot of money on your toy!
The problem now is he heated up the alternator because he did not take the time to disassemble it before trying to weld the broken pieces, at this point he has no idea what damage he has done to the alternator, as he said it no longer works.Gentlemen, Sielman is a Greek manufacturer of the Prestolite/Leece-Neville 60 amp AMA5104 alternators.
