Hey My 3rd Gen 4runner Sisters and Brothers from another mother,
@infamousRNR
(aka Sean) and I have another Sic Mod for Y'all. If you're getting into wheeling or overlanding and you're starting to add more things that cause a draw on your electrical charging system, there's a couple mods you might want to consider. One is the CS144 Alternator Upgrade and the other is the Big 3 wiring Upgrade. And, lucky for you, this video shows you how to accomplish both.
Sic Mods and Happy Wrenching!

I don't see much advantage going more than double the amps of the factory alternator, personally. 140 is fine for my purposes. I'm good with my Delco choice.

So why go to CS144 Alternator when you have a Denso one?
Not sure if anyone is seeing this thread. But I have a question..
So I am trying to understand why would one go to the Delco CS144 140 Amp Alternator when Denso has a 150 Amp alternator that I would think would be a bolt on version?
The only minor thing on that would be that it will need a 3-to-4 pin alternator adapter.. But other than that IIRC you will not need to put any shims or washers to put it on the trucks.
Now if you really want lots of amps I would think going to a higher output CS144 makes sense.. but for the most part that might be overkill...dont you think?

Did you confirm that this denso actually fits? As I agree I rather have a denso than a Delco. Granted, I run stock. I just warn folks on the charging wire and make sure your circuits are fused properly with add ons.
