    Very disappointed in the mechman alt.       1st and LAST purchase from mechfem by me. jon.gif

    3 relatively important issues mechfem does not tell you:  

     

    1) The rear mounting bracket was too narrow by at least 3 mil.    I had to bore out mounting holes to get bolts to finger start.   That is terrible quality control for a $500 alternator.

     

    2) One of the the stock mounting M10 bolts is about 3/8" too short for mechfem bracket.........blame Korea??    Don't you think the part time engineers at mechman could provide that bolt with the alternator?    Nawww  I guess the local ACE had me covered.

     

    3) Stock alternator belt is too long.  Again, very simple point of knowledge to pass along to the consumer.  Correct new alt belt length is 1" shorter.

    That suck about the alt not just bolting up, I just got my singer alt and it bolted right up I did have to get a smaller belt, but with a smaller pulley you should expect to have to get a smaller belt. But the rest of the build is looking good.

    What are the chances you could rebuild the box?

    S-10's LOVE subs up port side boxes. smile.png

    right now this enclosure is working pretty good, I need to do some deadening, upgrade my power wire and add another batt before I do anything else.

    next time I go to Casey's you should stop over too and let me hear it

     

    thats cool just tell casey to text me when your around

    220 amp, makes a huge difference

    How low did your voltage drop before the alternator and how low does it drop now?

     

    i still need to get a voltmeter but the factory one on the dash would drop low and the dash lights would dim, now the factory voltmeter stay about where it should and the lights don't.

    does that s10 have the 2.2? if so, sell/trade me that alternator!

    Lol he just got it

    lol yeah ill just order a new one I still got a month to a month and a half wait left on my zcon.

     

    yes it is the 2.2 and If your wanting one it takes about 3 weeks to get made might want to go ahead and order one.
