It will be interesting to see what amps that 150a unit will push idling at 600rpm.

I put a smaller pulley on my 70a Alt and got an extra 4a to 5a out of it at 600rpm. I can now push 44-45 amps instead of 39-41 amps at 600.

Yeah, the idle output of the CS144 is enticing...

I am going to order a 50mm pulley for my OEM alternator in the mean time.

Did you need a shorter belt when you put the smaller pulley on your alternator?

If it's idle amps you are after you can't beat the price and ease of install (with the adapter sold on Ebay) of the CS144. Mine is still crankin' out amps years later.

If you are not after idle amps those John Deer DENSO's look like a great option if you have the extra cash. It's very easy to top out the stock alternators with lights and accessories on. Some people have issues just with high wattage bulbs and windshield wipers on which makes the lights flicker!

For me, the it's the annoying fan slow down in winter when you hit idle with the lights and headlighs on. In certain occasions, the cab can get cold quickly when this happens. So I would only be after some amps at idle...

My Alltrac Camry has an 80A Denso on it too - with electric fans. Aftermarket fans + brake lights + headlights + turn signals = 11V sometimes. That one probably spins slower at idle to support the 7200rpm redline. It also has the offset ears, so I can't cross-reference any of the upgrade options from the 5VZ. At least the Camry never runs a winch.

At 12.6V you aren't charging the battery, but you aren't discharging it either - so it isn't the end of the world.

Good point, pretty much settles it, CS144 it is. Luckily Denso makes a version.

You can throw a smaller pulling to bring up the idle Amp output.

I know if I had a choice of a denso high Amp alt vs something else. I am choosing denso way before some other type. But this is just me.

Any Tips or Mods for Install
EDIT
I ordered a New ACDelco Gold 335-1050 from Amazon. Cheaper than a rebuild at any partstore.

Hey @octanejunkie (or anyone else), I am replacing my recently failed alternator with the Delco 335-1050. Any advice from your experience?

Note: I am doing the Big 3 while I am at it
