Check Summit Racing. I was looking at a 200 amp for my 98 Expedition and there was more.

Well, I am not one to tell someone not to do something to their truck, unless it is going to release the magic smoke.

Look at it this way, he might have a high AMP requirement at low RPM, or idle.
The factory alternator is not going to put out anywhere close to 130 A at low RPM / idle.

The cost of using the correct size alternator for his application is going to be covered by the additional costs of ~ 3 battery changes, and it a long term solution, rather then a band aid solution. The heavy draw down, and charging of a 2 battery system ( in what his application is ) could put undue strain on the factory alternator, and cause premature failure.

Just some points to why he maybe looking at a high output alternator, vs a 2 battery system ( which he did not ask for ). You have a valid solution to a problem, but it might not be his problem.
