A pair of 400A alternators is like adding another engine! Hope you got what you want.

Major mods will be necessary to install.
Thanks again,

This doesn't make sense to me. That kind of power draw from the alternator will stall a motor if it's idling. You'd need several batteries to take some of the load off of the alternator.

I am not putting all the alternators on one vehicle, they are going on several vehicles. The motor doesn't even hiccup now when I am drawing 200 amps and yes I am running a battery bank also. Have not had the time this week to call all of the people you guys have reccomended but thanks for the help.
