Okay, if it's the alternator - which seems very likely - what are recommendations for reliable, high output alternators?

200 amp is the service to my house. My FJ40 has 30 amp alternator. Why so large ?
I have a 200-amp alternator in mine also. Here are the reasons I run one, in no particular order:
1. My Warn 8274 Winch pulls 525 amps at start-up under load, and more than 100 (200?) amps while running.
2. I have a lot of extra equipment in my 40; ham radios, cb, ARB fridge, stereo amp, GPS, and upgraded headlights & harness.
3. I didn't like it when my lights would dim at idle with the stock alternator; now I don't have that problem.
4. I'd rather have excess capacity and not need it, rather than overworking a marginally-suited alternator.
"200 amp is the service to my house. My FJ40 has 30 amp alternator. Why so large ?"
The 200 amp service to your house is at 240 volts. There's a huge difference. The stock alternator on the 6.0 liter vortec in my FJ40 is 105 amps. I don't think any modern car has anything close to a 30 amps alternator. 200 amps for all the stuff that's on my 40 isn't that out of line - although I probably could have gotten by with 145.
