    We've had a ton of inquiries for new models of our XP series alternators recently, and we're just finishing up our most recent production run of housings.. We have the following new models coming out now.. I'll post up pics of the alts as soon as the frames get back from the anodizer and I get production versions built.. XP series alternator for Most Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep This is what we call a 6/12 straddle or "J" mount.. This fits pretty much everything Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep produced from '88-'02 That wasn't a 4.7V8 XP series alternator for Mazda/Mitsubishi/Subaru This is another 6/12 straddle or "J" mount, and is almost a universal Japanese mount alternator, literall…

    Bought a Denso alternator from alternatorparts.com. It's a 220 amp unit part number N1ERIF220. I need a small v-belt pulley and nut for it. The pulley I have on it is slightly bigger than the serpintine one that came with it.

    I sent you a PM back in May with my address for you to send me a larger pulley for my 180HP alt because of suspected belt slip. I have not heard from you or anyone else. Did you get this PM? Thanks!

    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

For my specific vehicle (1997 chev tahoe 5.7) there is the 270 XP and 270 SP, only difference i see is 10 amps at idle difference, with about a $50 difference in price. Can anyone clarify this for me please?

    So i talked to Kyle and he said I would be plenty satisfied with a 250amp alt for my jeep. Im putting in 2 18s NS v2 and a single 4500. And eventually upgrading doors speakers. My question is will i just replace my oem alt with this one or will i need a dual bracket?

    Since me and Kyle have the same car.. we've known about this for a while... hehe. this summer, i'm goin at it again and need to know which route i am going to take due to timeframe.. I will need my new alt upgrade sometime this summer... Preferrably within the next 2-3 months to be honest. For that timeframe, have u guys been able to figure out, or be able to test the dual 320HPs or is that out of the question? I know the 270xp is in play.. and i know the 390xp is as well.. So, of the 3, which am i looking at for best option this summer? And you know me.. i run more power than what i can fit in this car...lol

    I got the alternator and installed it in my lumina (was installed for less then a week), the car broke down and it's been sitting in my closet. I know you guys offer case swaps, but I know I'll need a higher output alternator for my 2011 Ford V6 Mustang, Does DC offer either exchange + the difference between the two alternators? I believe it is a 260SP line (I'm not 100% sure), The alternator it's self it was for a 1996 Chevorlet Lumina v6.

    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…

    Currently you guys(DC Power) offer 2 models for the 2003 Toyota Camry 4 cyl. variant... Question 1: Are there any other models that have not been applied to your site? Irragi and Ohio have many different version of similar output ranges and I was curious if maybe you offered more? Question 2: I did the comparison of the 2 different models and I was thrown off by something: So why is the output at idle higher on the lower end model? Seems like that model is working closer to max than the other and potentially "not last as long" or "do more work constantly"? Question 3: (might be on your site already) What is the lead time or processing time, for example if I ordered …

    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?
