So I went to go out the other day to take a ride and nothing. Battery was at 5.68 Volts. So charged the battery fired er up and put the volt meter on and the Alternator was only putting out 12.58 volts. After searching for local automotive stores that would have one for the SS I discovered that the 2011 Buick Lacrosse uses the same Alternator 130 amp. Just a FYI for anyone that was curious.

Can always look for 2008 Pontiac Solstice too. Make sure it is the 140amp rated for use in the 2.4L version.

That 140 amp rating is correct....

Just remember Polaris used two different alternators. We assume the newer units have a small (lighter) alternator to accommodate the top they made avail.
2015-2016.5 - 140 Amp Alternator
2017+ - 100 Amp Alternator
Bracketing should be the same across all models and the 140 amp can be used on newer models.

All the ones I looked up for 2008 solstice were only 120 amp

I do not recall who it is, but I do remember seeing a high output alternator being offered by one of the aftermarket stereo suppliers for the Slingshot.
If you are running a bunch of add on electronics and a big yellow top it might be a good idea to consider

They have 2 choices to increase your amprage to 170 or 240 with new belt

Someone on the darkside just listed a 300amp replacement for a good price.

If it touches our motor it’s a GM part. Find the part number On a Polaris part site and copy it and do a search. A GM part will show up at half the price.

Look for your motor parts here....search using the Polaris number...

Well crap I took the Alternator to Orylies and it tested good. So I have 13.97 at the Alt but 12.59 at the battery. I wondering if the fuse block has the recall issue. SOB I hate trouble shooting.

There is a direct wire from the alternator to the battery......that’s the big fat wire...it doesn’t go through any of the circuits...
So did the battery check out OK? I just had a van battery replaced....4 1/2 years old on a 6 year warranty....the CCA is supposed to be 800....the test only indicated 400....so they prorated the old one and put in a new one...for $100 extra dollars....LOL
You could Have a weak cell dragging down the voltage.. no corruption on the terminals...all the connectors are tight.
The RPM has to be up to get higher voltage out of the alternator...
