I did.....and he said it was a Quest Alty he put in NIssie's truck. I'm curious to hear back from SolidSnake on the status of his comparison of the two alty's at Checker.

I've seen pics online from checkers, but I just really want to make sure cause I know that the pics are not always the same. Will be heading to checkers as soon as the wife gets back from the store.

Quest alty is 90 amp....or at least, the earlier ones were.

:huh:

 

Mine (from a mid 90's Quest/Villager) is a 110.

 

I checked schucks.com (aka partsamerica.com) and they first year they list the Quest is in 1993... the only AMPs listed on alternators is 110 :shrug:

Ok went to checker and they didn't have any on stock. went to autozone and they only had the maxima, pathy was at another store. I was thinking of comparing the two side by side and just decided to go to the j/y and buy one to compare at the other autozone. Here's some pics of the oe maxima:

Got the alty for $50.00, so I finally pulled out the oe alty and saw that the bolt holes are the same, the connections are the same too. Here are the pics with the pullies swapped already:

As you can see the maxima alty is a little more beefier. Some of the things I noticed after the install was complete are, I turned the pathy on and when the dual e-fans turned on, there was no voltage drop like there was with the 70 amp alty. Start up was much nicer, and the accelaration was a little better too. Dome light for the front and back where brighter. So to answer the question, yes the maxima 90 amp alty is completely bolt on, except that the pulley needs to be swapped.

Thanks, I just noticed that. I took the alty to autozone to get it tested, and the guy that was helping me out ran the test and it failed. Took it to checker for a second opinion, or should I say test, and it passed with flying colors. The girl who tested it said that it's putting out 15 volts.

The one I have installed in my truck right now failed to tests :huh:
