Alternator Upgrades

Ok,

I have been noticing that my alternator is going bad cuz of the following symptoms

1) headlights get dimmer with every accesor i turn on

2) Heat is MUCH stronger when i am on the gas than when i am at a stop.

Now my question is, what are the available upgrades for a Gen 3 Camry in the alternator department? Thanx Guys!!!

those 2 symptoms happen to everyone...

also, i hate to do this to you bro, cause we are tight, but DOO A SEARCH YA FRIGGIN NOOB!!!!!!!! no seriously, there are tons of alternator threads... even this one dude who explained how he rebuilds alternators every day at his job, and he would do a custom setup for anyone who wants one... also some audio companies make alternators too... you would prolly have to get one and make a custom bracket or somethin though... i thought about doing that... but seriously, find that thread about the guy who rebuilds alternators... good thread

thanks BRO, but i've seen that thread. I don't want to rebuild it. I'm really looking for a heavier-duty alternator. I'll wait to hear from mean green and then if they can't i'll hit up this guy. Thanx Zoni
