    Hey Kyle, Stan, Rob. I have talked to Kyle about 4 weeks ago, emailed him 3 weeks ago, and left another voicemail with him today, left Stan a voicemail about a week ago and talked to Rob on the phone about a week ago. I have still yet to get anything figured out or my daily driver running. I haven't heard back from Kyle or stan in over 4 weeks and I was told my Rob that the situation would be taken care of by this week but i am still here waiting. Get back to me ASAP.

    So I was looking on the DC Site for the available alts for a 1997 honda civic 1.6L and I saw there were 3 options: 1. HP Series for $399 - does 180 max & 130 idle 2. Pro Series for $320 - does 210 max & 100 idle 3. OEM Series for $349 - does 170 max & 110 idle I was wondering the differences between these different series lines.. and also why the pro costs less but has the highest max output?.. Is the hp way better? if so why?.. just wondering because the $400 tag on them.. I guess I just dont know the difference between the different lines of alts really. -Jordan

    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 a 230xp series alt with a case to fit a 4.0L 1997 jeep wrangler, I have someone interested in buying it but they have a 1998 dodge durango with a 5.2L. Will it directly bolt on? If not, how much are case swaps? Thanks, Stefan

    I need some help here, I picked up a DC Power 250 (I'm guessing a sp model). I was told it was for a 2005 Ford Explorer V6. I want to install it on my 1996 Ford Bronco. My problem is that my factory alternator (95 amp 3G) has a 3 prongs on the regulator with another single prong plug right next to it. This new alternator has 4 prongs on the regulator and the pigtail I have with it goes from 4 into 2 prongs. Sorry if that's hard to understand, here are some pics of what I'm talking about: the 2 prong plug coming off the DC alt this end plugs into the DC alt DC alt in factory alt in factory plugs What do I need to get this thing to work?

    The thread is to commemorate DC Power for standing behind thier product and honoring my warranty. DC Power makes a top notch product, and has good communication with thier customers. My story: I ordered and installed my 250xp alternator in march of this year. The bracket fit perfect and the wiring was a breeze thanks to the correct plug installed on the alt. No wiring adapter which is good in my book, because every extra connection is just one more place for a problems to occur. The belt that was included was the wrong size and one of the bolts was the wrong thread pitch and alittle on the short side. NEITHER wrong part was a big deal as I could get the correct parts loca…

  21. I Accidentally left my carputer on last night. When i started my car the XP wasn't making my engine happy charging the batteries up at full load. Anyways, this is what happens when the 270XP loads down a 4 cylinder's engine at idle. It takes 20 seconds for the computer to actually realize what's going on and adjust for the load compensation. The alternator in this car idles at 2,000 alternator RPMs. 500 alternator RPMS LESS than the competition. It's rated to do 180 amps or so at this RPM. It takes power to make power. This proves it.

    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

    I'm looking for a lower alternator for my F250. Mine didn't come from the factory with duals, but I'm hoping to find the bracket and add it. Also, I've noticed my alternator doesn't start charging right away. It usually takes 30sec to 1 minute or even long before I see 14+ volts. I heard this is because of the glowplugs. Do you know exactly why? Also, I was told, I couldn't hook up a second alternator unless I got my PCM reflashed to properly supply turn on power for the alternator. But I figured I could get a new plug and tie into the original alternators wiring. I basically need to know what to do here. I sure don't want to mess anything up. So a quote on a lower altern…
