Have read a few people saying they have had their hilux altenators rebuilt for 220 amps... what sort of cost, and were did u go in melbourne?
Can some tell me what a standard diesel (2L) alt outputs aswell... im away interstate and cant read my manual atm.

220Amps? Thats huge, but I expect it was probably 120A. What breed of alternator is it?
Price replacing your alternator with a larger unit. I know a bloke who bought two new (rebuilt?) alternators (exchange?) for $180 each. considering repairing an alternator usually comes in at around $130, I would expect a rewind up to a higher amperage would be very expensive.
Contact someone like Ashdown's, Ingrams or AED for an idea. They will be able to tell you what will bolt straight in and how much it will cost.
Any upgrade of alternator will require an upgrade of wiring and fusible links.
