hey everyone,. well I'm going to join the FD in the comming week and know that i will be putting a lightbar on my roof, an old police one. Then I am going to be putting in a scanner and CB with PA sytem in also. I have Sirius sportster in the truck as well as a mag light. So will I need an upgrade or not, I'm thinking I might but its iffy and I dont know electrical on trucks real well, i know enough to get by. It is stock on there now so go bigger or not?



Thanks for the help as always,
~Mike~

 

A Dakota? Year? Engine ?

 

It depends if your going to constatly use those lights. I belive stock is 90amps. You can upgrade to 140 or higher. I got 140. Stock can handle it. but if it is a everyday thing you might as well go big.

 

Some had 75amp, others had the 90amp. You can upgrade to the 120amp Denso. Check with RockAuto.com

 

sorry about that, it is a 1995 dakota 3.9L. I wont be using them everyday but on a regular basis because you never know where you will be. Thnkas for the help as always

 

Id upgrade to the 120 amp. I did that for my stereo and it puts alot less strain on the battery.
