I am wondering if I need to upgrade my alternator and or battery on my truck.
Currently, I run:
-Federal Signal Highlighter minilightbar w/ 2 55W halogen bulbs (8.6 amp draw)
-2 Aux backup lamps 55W each
-Western plow pump
-Of course headlights, heater, and radio.
-Possibly a 90W 4 head hideaway system (undecided)
The truck has the stock alternator (code K60, I think 100 amp)and single battery.
I havn't ran the plow with the new lightbar and backup lamps yet. Should I upgrade to a larger alternator? A second battery?
If I need a larger alternator, how large? Where can I buy it?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
