I recently installed dual Optima's in my 98 D1. My local off-road shop owner now suggests that I need to install a custom GM sealed brush model that at idle will provide approx. 100 amps of charge. I was also told by the expert that the alternator would provide approx. 150 amps of charge at 1500 RPM's. He has a buddy who is supposed to be an alternator genius, for $175.00 he will build me this alternator for my D1. I will be doing lots of long trips where I will be discharging my alternate battery every night by using my CPAP machine and WAECO fridge at the same time. So what would be nice is to start up my vehicle and recharge my batteries. I have installed 2 great Optima batteries and a high quality isolator just want to get the alternator right now. Does anybody have any expert opinion in this field????
