Hey guys, So ive been in the market for a decent alternator upgrade/replacement and came across this interesting ad on ebay for a 140 amp (Bosch?) alternator for late model 240's but were unsure if something like this ever actually existed. It does say it is remanufactured so id guess that means it had to exist from the factory at some point but that leads us to question the legitemacy of these ads in general.
If these ads are legit, thats a pretty good deal for a decent alternator but $175 seems a bit iffy for a alternator that claims its 140/160 amp but happens to look like the big 80 amp alternator that at least my 1986 245 came with.
I guess I can say im inexperienced when it comes to these alternators and im hoping someone can shed alittle light on this.
ps not sure if this is considered performance/modification or maintenence/non-performance.
140 Amp

Were assuming these ad's are misleading or we're missing something but just curious what you guys think.
