Let me take a wild guess here- you want it for a car audio system right? If
this is not the case then you don't need to read on..
if it is- you probably don't need something quite that heavy duty unless you
plan on converting the entire truck to a rolling boom box. You could easily
get by with the stock alternator (mine came with the 136 amp alt with the HD
elect group). This alternator would let you run 1000-2000 watt system-
anything more and you're talking some major increase in electric current and
then yes- I'd recommend a HD alternator (but not necessarily 240 amp- maybe
200 tops). Now if you plan to sit in the parking lot at night with your
buddies and play the stereo without the truck running- you need to consider
some gel cell batteries (depending on the size of the system- 3 or 4 in
series). Hope this helps

Yes, this is part of my communist take over. Next I will purchase an
extremely large gas powered generator and charge my neighbors $20 an hour
for electricity, or would that be considered an entrepenor???
