I thought the only cars that had higher one's were VW's for some reason or another.

I'd agree on most V-6's but normally too you can get a better alternator just by asking. All of our chevys here (the 2.2 I-4 all the way up to the 6.0 V-8s have 2 alternators. Just one for the 'base' model and the heavier duty one for the 'limited' models.)

And standard on the Chrysler 5.2 is a 120 amp and on the 5.9 I think it's 160 amp.
