alternator..swap possible?? (3.4)
hello everyone,
my alternator is going bad to the point if i have my seat heater on high and the heat on 3 my low battery light turns on. ohh and forget the rear defroster..
so before i go to auto zone and buy a new one for $165
is there a possible swap for a higher output one under $300 would be nice?
i was reading this thread, now i know its (Toyota) 3.4 and not 3.4 (gm) but the guys used a 1995 CADILLAC DEVILLE WITH THE HEATED WINSHEILD, it has a 120 amp idle output and 140 amp at highway speed...

You can use an AD244 alternator (off a chevy s-10) they are higher output. Or buy a 220 amp 3.8/3.4 Chevy alternator off of amazon

As I understand, if it fits, you can use it. Getting a slightly higher amp alt if it's not a big deal price wise is not a bad deal.
