i dont want to lose my A/C to run a 2nd alt any help?

[Infinite913 381]

YO, I am getting ready to set up a dual alt in my 2001 chevy astro van but the last few days alone it has been 90+ degrees so i am very indifferent about getting rid of my A/C if anyone knows of anyone that was able to keep A/C and run multiple alts please share.

I am willing to get rid of my belt driven fan and go electric as well as add cold air intake to free up space in front of the belt and pulley area if anyone knows a way to Fab up something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you replace the tensioner like I did? And fab up a bracket and turnbuckle

Get rid of the fan anyways, add the electric fan, fab up a mount and drive attachment to the water pump and bam.

I think Jeff(project db) has dual alts on his astro

If you want them in the back, run them off the driveshaft or pinion.

anyone have any pic designs so I can get a little idea of what is in store.

Call Ohio, if anyone has experience with multiple alternators in Astros it will be them.

Scottie Johnson used to have 1 or 2 Astros too (XS Power). I do not know if he ever had any upgraded alts on it or not but worth a shot.

Considering the amount of power he ran I have to imagine he had multiple alts.

He had 128,000w of power on 50+ Optimas.. but i "think" he always ran with the vehicle OFF...

However, people like him who run vehicle off could also of had multi alts for advertising and cosmetic purposes.

Pretty sure he didn't have air conditioning or even drive the van. This guy is looking for a REAL WORLD replacement, not something used in competition lanes.

it was undriveable, hehe.

But knowing Dave.. we do not know what he is thinking, lol.

All very good points.

Gotta love needing to add alts.
