I have a simple question, How many amps does the stock V6 GEN4 alternator puts out? I need this info becasue I'm upgrading my power wire between my battery an alt and I need to place a fuse between them so my battery wont blow...

around 80 I think....

I still don't get the point when people do that, but if you do, you can use a 100amp fuse

yea it puts out 80
i used an 100a on mine, just like the factory

Thank you guys, the reason I'm doing this is becasue it's called the "BIG 3" upgrade and it helps out your current flow in your electrical system in case you have multiple amps like me. Heres the link....

no, I meant I don't get the point when people put a fuse in....

but yeah...the big three is a good idea, but it doesn't help with the dimming usually...that needs a new alternator

and if ur V6 is the 1MZ-FE the Highlander 130A alt. from their V6 will bolt right in....

Your fuse rating is dependent on the size of the wire not the output of the alternator.
