So ima little short on money but I need a alternator with more amp output I was told that I could get a alternator from a minivan or suv at a junkyard and swap it out. Has anyone attempted this? If u have can u post what vehicle u got it out of? Tks

 

I have just recently replaced my alternator. I got a 125 amp alternator from a monte carlo (or at least a 3800 engine) from a junkyard for only 45 bucks, it runs great and it was bigger than the stock alternator that was only 105 amps. I didn't take it out of the car but I just called the junkyard and they got it for me.

 

i believe the bonneville is a good replacement i can't recall what year. i think it's the 2000ish model and up.

 

Mine is a 135 amp version, but I don't know if it would fit on the V6.

 

Honestly save up and get a good one. I got one from DC Power its a 250AMP. Its cost a bit more than a stock one but it is well worth it. I am so glad I upgraded.
