was gonna get one one time.

I need to fix that ELD or whatever it is problem.

You have 4 TVs in your shit, so maybe you are a candidate for a high output alternator.

and thats all i have to say about that.

They're worth it if you get a good quality one from alterstart or a place like that, don't get the cheapo ebay one.

I gotta fix my ELD Thing to. But now I dont even pay attention to the flickering anymore. LoL...But I'd say a HO Alternator would be a good investment if you're running alot of electrical components. Good HO Alternater = $$$$$....Be prepared...

Have you tried to upgrade batteries first? And also upgrade your battery to chassis ground and the like.

i bought one from ebay because it was only 160 opposed to 300, and it had a lifetime warranty...

a month later, i had to send it back and that was a definite pain in the ass, took a week to get it back, but so far so good! (knock on wood)

other than that, it helps keep the voltage around 12.4 during idle, and when i hit any where about 1500 rpm, it kicks up to 13.8-14.2 volts
