DC Power Engineering

i see that the dif models have diff outputs but whats the difference between the models? im in the market to buy a new alt, like today (iknow tomorrow is soon as i can) ad i jsut wanna make sure i get the right one for what i need i was looking at the 280 pro???

Godday Rob and Kyle, I'm needing an alternator for my 2008 Hyundai Elantra, 2.0L DOHC engine. I'm going for high idle output, but not something that will be a strain on the engine because it is a smaller vehicle, HP series probably.

So from looking at the pictures I'm guessing there is a spot on the alt to bolt down some 0gauge wire with a ring terminal to the battery? I just need to know if I should be ordering some extra wire and ring terminals

Kyle its the local guy with the lexus. I know you said you guys might be ready to have me bring my car in at the end of the month. Is it a possibility that I might be able to get my car in anytime soon?

What brand of belt do you guys recommend using with the 270 xp? I put on a new gates belt and i have slipping on a cold start (less than a second). When the engine is warm it doesn't slip. I have tightened the belt up a few times...seems to help a first but is this because the belt is new and still stretching?

Just ordered my first Dc Alternator couple days ago for my 2002 Avalanche. I can't wait till it arrives.

DC Power, I have a 320 amp alternator, I haven't clamped it yet but I will very soon. Would you agree that if I fused the positive run connecting the alternator and battery with a 300 amp fuse that it would blow once the alternator is reaching high rpms? If it wouldn't blow then would you agree that the alternator is actually overrated?

It's finally here! long way trip from USA to Norway. Can't wait to get this installed! Sorry for bad quality, iphone 3gs camera is bad :< On question though. Little bit confused about which series this is, but when you posted a picture on facebook said it was a 270XP series but receipt says 260 pro series?. Ordered the 260A alternator, just bit confused thats all =) It's for the Mitsubishi Carisma 2002 btw Thanks DCpower for the alternator! and was fast shipping i might add.

Hey guys. Have a specific request for this vehicle as it isnt on the site. I will be using around 3k rms and would like as much idle output as possible. Thanks dudes.

Hello DC, I was just wondering if you guys had an Alt for the 2009 Malibus? I have a 2.4 Ecotec and idk much about the stock one. Thanks for the help!

Right now i've got a phoenix gold 500.1d pushing an 18 fi q. Of course we're getting a new amp. We've got our minds set on an audioque 1500. But before that, we need a new alternator so thats where you guys come in. I got my alternator tested and i'm pulling 65-67 amps with bass up, hid highbeams on, ac full blast, and all at 1500rpm. So i just wanted to know which alternator we will be needing to get, and of course i'll do the big 3 after getting one of yall's alts.

I got a 270xp series alt for a 1997 I6 4.0L jeep wrangler a few months ago. I wanted to know what other vehicles and years it would fit on? I'm looking to get a new car and likely better off selling the alt and buying a new one then sending it in for a new case. Car is still undecided, likely scion tc or volvo v70 Thanks

ok i have a 2002 dodge dakota 3.9L and i noticed that they just added alts for my truck (very happy about that by the way!) anyways, im currently running an AQ1200D, i did the "big 3" and i have a kinteic HC2000 under the hood, now in the spring i plan on buying another 1200D and strapping them, and as it is, with the headlights on i get voltage drops to the low 13's. the 2 alts im looking at are https://www.dcpowerinc.com/13874-180-hp.html and https://www.dcpowerinc.com/13874-170-oem.html now i dont see much difference in the 2 except a 10 amp difference and a 60 dollar difference (and the cheaper one puts out 10 more amps) so my question is, which should i get, and wou…

Much love for Dc Power!

gettina killer deal a bnib 270xp, ive heard deiffrent things so jsut wanted to make SURE on which info is correct. I have a mechman ABVM is or is it not compatible with this unit? vehicle is a 01 gmc sierra 5.3

So car is sold and i am wanting a 99-2000 civic I still have my alternator that i got from Robbie bout a year ago, still in prestine condition. Would like to know what kinda thing i can do to either trade this one in for my honda one or recase this one or whatever my options are. I lost my number to robbie but would seriously like to take care of this.

Hey DC, I've emailed you in the past about which alt to get for my car and I've decided to get a 180 hp for my 1.6l D16A6 1991 Honda CRX si. My car isn't listed on your site to order, so i used a 1992 Honda civic 1.6 (same motor) and they are sold out. So I'm just checking if there is any difference between the two and if there are any in stock, just not listed on the website. Another reason I want to check if there is any difference because i was quoted $10 lower than the '92 civic alt. Which is no big deal, just another factor leading me to believe there is a subtle difference in the alts. If there are none in stock, is there a time frame you can give me on when one wil…

How much for a direct replacement HO alt for a 1995 Toyota Corolla 1.3 Engine?? I emailed the contact us page on your website but got nothing back so said I would post here!! Looking for a minimum of 150amps Cheers Quinny

Customer had something come loose under the hood of the vehicle and brought this into us... Voltage regulator before: Voltage regulator after: Did it work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLWlo2I3Dw4 I guess they are kind've virtually indestructible.

I bought a second dc alt from the forums (bought the first one from you guys) and your bracket was wondering when I install both is there anything to do or just plug in play?

Hey everyone i am new to car audio and am planning on doing something big. Well first I was planning on getting a 250 amp alt with 2 yellow top batteries supplying power to 2 audio q 2200 amps connected to 2 12 fi btls . My question is that is there anything i need to be worried about? Because i was wondering if different parts of my car for example the dash lights or head light are being supplied with excess power? Is there some sort of regulater that controls the flow of current to the different appliances and delivers what is needed? THANKS! your help is highly appreciated

can i buy jsut a pulley?

i have to rev it up aftert startin to getr alt to kick into charge mode... i was talkin to one of the dc reps on facebook about this but they never got back to me... id like to figure this out asap so can some one please get back to me asap thanks!

Wanting a quote for a 2001 Monte Carlo 3.8 v6 high output alternator. Not wanting any special powder coating. I'm currently running a kicker 2500.1 amplifier if that helps any, these amps are power hungry Thanks.

Hey DC! Have ya'll ever made an alternator for my car? If so, can you give me the options I have? I'm looking for a little over 90 amps at idle, and maybe if anything, 150 at full output if possible Thanks! P.S. Do you think you can make a Voltage regulator for it? Thanks again!
