I don't have the originals anymore. I was thinking if went to a lower amp alt (and use the higher amp for my other truck) I would lesson the load on my 09' and maybe pick-up some power and mpg's, however slight it might be.

I have gone 12volts and used a early 80's 100amp cadi alt. Does a higher amp rating create more load on the engine? If I went with a lower amp alt (65amp) would it lessen the load? I need an alt for another truck I have and I might use the 100amp alt for it and get a smaller amp for my 09'...

Which groove is the correct one to use the smaller or larger one? If I spin my PS pump too fast will I burn it out?

I have removed the drivers side alt for reference. I have a PS pump with a two groove pulley and I'm not sure which groove I should use. The back groove lines up with the smaller crank pulley (rear) and the front groove lines up with the larger (middle) crank pulley. Would the middle...

The reason I ask is I'm going to swap in a gas engine (250 L6) and want to use the th400 for it. The 6.2 has 240lbs of torque @ 2000rpm and the L6 has 235lbs @ 1400rpm. I'm hoping I the power bands are close enough not to change shift points. I may hit the junkyard and look for a gas 1ton...

There is a couple in VA on craigslist right now. Check the DC site.

What are the shift pionts (rpm) of the th400 in the 09'? Also, what is the stall speed on the TC? Thanks.
