Got Alternator?

Got Alternator?
Recently, my alternator quickly and noisily died. Aggravated, I searched around looking for a replacement alternator. I had two opposing goals. First, I wanted something better than the 120A OEM alternator. Second, I wanted something economically reasonable.
I'll be honest, I didn't think this was possible, but I gave it a shot anyway. I started my search in all the usual places; no luck. After a while I ended up on eBay looking at an alternator offered by seller eagleautoelectric. I was sceptical at first, but eventually my wallet won and I ordered a re-manufactured 150A Bosch alternator for ~$120.
Well... I was surprised! I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I was impressed. The alternator arrived looking brand new. What's more, when I called the seller at 7:30 pm EST, I got a live person and helpful tech support!
If you are in the market for a new alternator, I heartily recommend you look into this vendor. I have nothing to gain from this endorsement. I hope this vendor can help another LR owner!

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to car electrics. So does the 150 amp alternator opposed to the factory 120 amp help out when using a winch, driving lamps, frig. Does it charge your battery more efficiently/faster? Make your dash light not dim when you turn on the windshield heater or SLS pump kicks on automatically. Hope you guys know much more than I do.
