Show-Ready Power for a Retractable Roadster

With the roof down, road noise competes with the stereo, so SSR owners often add amplifiers and better speakers to stay clear at speed. Modified trucks may add electric fans, an upgraded fuel pump and LED lighting. Each of those draws more current than the original setup expected. An SSR high output alternator supplies the extra and keeps voltage stable at a slow cruise-night crawl, when the fans are running and the engine is barely above idle.

Finish Options for an Open Hood

Most units here use billet housings, machined from solid aluminum, which allows finishes like polished, chrome, red, purple, pink and gold. Many SSR owners match the alternator to the paint or to other engine bay dress-up parts. Standard housings are available if you prefer a stock appearance.

Fitment and Output for 2003-2006 Trucks

The vehicle finder at the top of the page lists one application: 2003-2006 SSR models with the 5.3L or 6.0L. That single series covers the listed years, but confirm your engine before you choose. Output options are 170, 240, 250, 320, 370 and 400 Amp. A cruiser with one amplifier around 2,000 W is a good fit for 240 or 250 Amp. A multi-amp system, or electric fans plus audio, steps up to 320 or 370 Amp. Full competition builds want 400 Amp. 170 Amp works for a mild audio upgrade. Pick the SSR high output alternator that matches the build you plan, not just the one you have today.

Finish the job with a Big 3 wiring kit and, where space is tight, a compact option from our lithium batteries. Related Chevrolet trucks such as the Trailblazer and the Avalanche share some of these units and have pages of their own. See the full Chevrolet and GM alternator range too.
