Okay, excuse me for being a noob but to me an alternator was an alternator; (unless your into stereo competitions) but then i got a replacement alternator for my DSM. Then every couple of months I would burn one up and it would squeal belts. So i looked into it and found out that replacement alternators from auto parts stores suck. Well where do i buy one then I searched the internet getting so desperate as to check eBay for racing alternators. Then it dawned on me Bosch makes stuff like that really well i had problems with water pumps until i bought a Bosch one. So i found them on autopartswarehouse.com it lists that the alternator may have a voltage regulator in the alternator or it may be in the ecu. also what amperage should i use they range all the way from 75 to 90 or can i just get the one that cranks the highest amperage cranking amperage. I'm not a very good electrician so any help would be appreciated. I just want the squealing to stop once and for all makes me sick just thinking about it.
