Don't most of the diesel's have the vaccum pump on the back, is it ok to forget about it ?

Well a standard TJ Jeep alternator is 117 amps, can be rewound to approx 130amps?

I have a supra (I think) that was rewound to 120. It's a toyota one that bolts onto my 5k engine

EL Falcon (Bosch) do around 110A but run a multi rid belt. It wouldn't be hard to swap pulleys if needed and Super Cheap Auto were selling them for $150 brand new.

just about any late model car or truck will have at least an 80a alt, i was shocked to see a gq has only a 50a, an xd falcon has 55a!!

it is more expensive than the other options, from memory the vacuum pump is on the block or something not the alternator
