    Are these 100 amp ebay alternators any good?,
    likely to last how long?.
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.

    I have put a Patrolapart 120A alternator on my GQ TD42
    If you put a bigger alternator on you will have to run another cable fused from the alternator to the battery, or else you will blow the main fuse if you are pulling the capacity from the alternator. Happened to me when winching.
