Is anyone finding that they need to upgrade the alternator from the stock 90-amp to a high output version?
what exactly are you using this extra power for?

Maybe if you were powering alot of accessories.

Not sure where you would start to look for a higher powered alternator that is compatible. Isn't 90 AMP already lots?

 

[polarisfan]

you can get any alternator/starter shop to rebuild it to a higher output. all they need is the core.

Wouldn't getting a larger more powerful battery be enough to support more accessories?

it's a good option, i think if you will be using it for work almost every day you might as well upgrade the alternator and battery for optimum performance

 

[bruteforce]

yea i would imagine just upgrading the alternator isn't enough

you would have to upgrade the battery as well.

 

[polarisfan]

Maybe even the battery cables and cable leading to the alternator to complement the higher output and higher storage capacity.

 

[bruteforce]

yep i agree. costly upgrade.

 

[polarisfan]

costly but if it's a work vehicle, it's a worth while investment.

 

[bruteforce]

so any new mods for the brutus anyone has found?

 

[polarisfan]

Not that I know of, seems like that process has been a slow one so far. It's still new so we might have to wait a bit.

Assuming the PTO can hold a steady 1800RPM, it would be interesting to mate one of the inexpensive Chinese 4 pole generators to the PTO. That would be both a hack and a solution to the original question that started this thread.
