Does anyone have any idea how many amps a factory alternator produces for a 97 Explorer SOHC. I'm looking into installing several lights, and I want to know if I need to go buy a better alternator. Thanks in advance.

I think they are 95amps, but don't quote me

yep 95A at who knows what rpm.. i saw it on some guys explorer spec page here.

Some also have an optional 130A. Im not sure which ones come with it though.. could be the limited.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Now I can safely run my car and two sets of auxilary lights without having to worry much. Now I just gotta figure out how I want to install the buggers...

Here ya go.
