Can anyone let me know where I can find a dealer either in Texas or Colorado, or just give me some contact info?
Also, how much do they usually run for?
Thanks

Most local electrical shops don't build HO alternators. And don't fall for their "we can rebuild your stock alt to do (insert really high amperage here) number of amps" crap. Most of those shops don't know WTF they're talking about.


If you need an HO alternator, Ohio Generator are among the best out there:

Iraggi alts are also good:

Also remember to look at the idle amperage rating when shopping for a HO alt, it is important. If a company won't tell you how many amps their alt does at idle, don't buy it.

Where I got mine. Have to admit it finally died after a couple years of use, but since it was built in a stock housing I just put the original back in. However, the prices here are very reasonable and when informed of the problem they offered to fix the thing np. I just never got around to sending it in as the stock alternator did just fine with the power I was utilizing.

The more the better, same goes for the regular amperage. The alternator that I am looking at for my truck is 220 amps and 175 at idle.

How much is that costing you?
I'm going to need a large one for my next setup, I actually need one right now,but it's not too big of a deal yet.

We're not leaving out excessive amperage. Arguably, lowest priced HO alts. Lots of people seem to like great customer service and no BS - that's what you get there.

That wasn't very clear Oleg.I've heard just as many bad things about Excessive amperage as good things and in my eyes that isn't good enough.I've never heard of problems with Iraggi Alts and that's what I run and there's great customer service from Iraggi.Dominick's a cool guy too.

Recently there have been many complains about Dom not answering emails and taking 2 months to deliver and alternator. I don't think Iraggi is cheaper than EA, so pricewise they're at least the most competetive. I have not heard anyone say Nate didn't respond to emails though. But I am talking from my own experience - perhaps he gave me great CS and shytty to others.
