A higher output alternator will not help your charge at idle. They still
need to spin up at the same rpm's as the smaller ones to start a full
charge. I have a 160 amp alternator and it doesn't help my idle charge
problem.

the only time i really have any charging issues (no real problems) are when
i'm at the stop light, with the A/C on and lights on.

if u want, go with a higher output alternator... something like a 120Amp, if
you have a 90Amp, or a 136Amp.

Ugh! Most of my commute is in stop-and-go. What's the bad thing about
being stuck with the electric fan? Is it not as powerful or something?
