Tripac 120A alternator replacement

I dont know for sure what the wiring harness is designed for, which is my concern. Did you consider the wire gauge must be able to handle the amps. Double output would certainly raise my concern. Based on the load and the resistance, wires can heat up and damage things.

Secondly, why the need to change the design specification of a older model, when newer models are redesigned to accommodate higher output power generation. OEM stands the test of time. 5000hrs. I question the reliability of your theory may shorten the life of other components unless this has been tried and tested.

Ampacity Charts

Amperage is a measure of the electrical current flowing through a circuit. Current is measured in amperes or "amps". You must use the correct size wire for the amperage requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from over heating.

 

Call Arizona Laser Alignment. The dude just basically rebuilt my APU with the new alternator you mentioned.
Part number is 452671.
His name is Ralph.

Tri Pac reckon 65a is ok so personally I stick at that. There's an outfit called db electrical that sells insanely cheap units, I've found them to be long lived too. I have a spare in here as theyre so cheap but the current one wont die!

 

I just installed a 105 amp Delco alternator from a 1995 Chevy Impala. You have to use the pulley and fan from the TK unit. The pigtail for the Delco is available from the parts store as well and must be spliced in.

It will bolt right in.

 

Yes I have done this upgrade. The reason is that the alternator will charge your battery's faster also handle a load better. There is a kit that you have to buy also that is electrical wiring and sensor that kick the alternator off when the A/C compressor kick in. The motor doesn't have the HP to run both at the same time plus the belt the new alternator comes with a pulley. The old alternator is for a reefer to charge one battery not four it has to work hard to do it plus motor couldn't handle the extra load without the kick out switch

 

TK offers the 120 amp version for a few years now. Depending on the customer, they install what the customer wants or pays for.
Many O/O want to upgrade their units now for the later mentioned reasons.
TK in Winnipeg doesn't even offer the 65 amp version as standard anymore.
I have about 6000 hours on my second alternator now. Smoked the first one just a bit after a year. I think high loads were the reason. Ever since, the unit is shut down when I brew my coffee and I'm fine.

I once called some dealers for the conversion kit and got different answers as well. From just the alternator to a conversion kit in the value of 1000 Loonies plus alternator.

 

So for everyone avoiding going to thermoking because it's too expensive, did you know they have a two year warranty on their parts? It's registered by serial number in their system if it's a genuine thermoking part. I just got the alternator replaced, running fine so far, but no way it will last two whole years.
