I am going with the 150amp alt, so do I need a 180amp fuse? I am having trouble finding one in that size seems they go from 150 then jump to 200. Will the 150 work or is it safe to jump up to the 200amp fuse?
Dont take my recomendation, but I have heard reports of the 150a alt putting out more like 160-170. Probably should go with the 200a.
