your truck engine may be able to handle the load ....the alternator may not .....there was a time in the boat cruising world where oversize alternators were popular ....to get the increased output winding wire sizes were reduced to produce the extra wattage ... the windings had a tendency to fail ...many cruises had to have them rewound - with the original 55 amp windings due to the extra heat produced...best alternators in stock form come from ambulances...130 amp (@12v) units (about 13 amps 120v not counting inverter losses) see "big case" alternators ....you will also need to upgrade the belts and pulleys .....bigger the alternator output = more turning resistance .....leece neville makes nice units imho
