If it were me I think I would go with a CS 144, and wire in a resistor in the exciter wire. How much amperage do you need? 90 amps would be a good swap in test alternator, to see if the problem persists. Then if it runs OK, then you could upgrade to the CS or replace the summit 140 amp. Course if it's chromed then you have to have the bling.

Is that the one for $250?

Summit lists repair kits for powermaster 140 amp alternators.

I did a little googling for you.

I still have warranty on it I believe. Just didn't want to go trough paying for shipping and turns out it's totally okay. And no it's the one for 140ish. Also i did a diode test on my old alternator and my current one and they both came up with the same results: position lead on the BATT stud and negative lead on the case reads nothing. And the negative lead on the stud and the positive on the case reads 10.51
