Default alternator question
A question for you boys that have the 136 amp alternator,

What is the fuse size for the alternator in your power distribution center?

I have a 117 amp alt, but I'm looking to bump it up to the 136 amp alt to offset the e fan draw. My current fuse says 140 amp, but I wonder if that is enough headroom for that bigger alternator.
