Will the stock alt support this?

Post by Fo-Mo-Co »

I have this monster 4 row radiator. I cant find a shroud so it heats in slow traffic. I have a 160 tstat and going down the road itsits at 160 . So I knowit's the lack of a shroud. So I want to buy this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DUAL-10- ... 35b0d187e4 Can the stock charging system support this?

It shouldn't have a problem with it, it is a 10 amp continuous draw when it is running, peaks at 25 amps. If you ahve a gi-normous stereo you might run into problems, but otherwise the fans shouldn't be a problem.

On another note, if you have never used them, Derale is good stuff! I have used their controllers before, but never their fans. But their controllers are good stuff!

When in doubt, hit the gas. It may not be the right answer, but at least it ends the suspense!!
