| MERC ML430 YEAR 2000
I would like to know whats the biggest alternator i can find that fits straight on to my ML without any brackets being made, i am running a 150amp original standard alt with adjustable regulator fitted. also what is the highest i can turn my adjustable regulator up? my adjustable reg has 3 settings 12-14v 14-17v 17-21v I'm using the middle setting and i don't go over 15.5 15.6 when in demo mode but turned back down to 14.5v for daily driving and charging. so whats the highest voltage my car will handle before i kill ecu or the likes. |

You've probably hit that voltage. Why exactly do you want more?

There are some water cooled alternators on E Bay that offer 190 Amp. But I haven't seen bigger. |
