    Hi everyone. 2013 M2 with a 6.7 cummins. I need to find an alternator around 300 amps. This is a fish hatchery stocking truck and we need the bigger alt to power aerator systems in the tanks. The stock alt was a 160 amp Delco # 8600201. Anybody know who might make a 300+ amp alternator for this truck?
    Thanks!!

    You have a 28si series alt which only goes up to 200amps. To get 300 amps youl have to go to a 40si series like N15R-40P3001 or 8600298, but has a larger mounting pad.
