Tried to contact on your Facebook page and still waiting for a reply on your support site as well, no one has replied to me as of 14th of may. and still waiting if you have received my payment or not :S Thanks.

I have an 09 silverado crewcab v8 thats about to go form 3k to 6k so i think its time to upgrade the charging system. DC has so many options im a little lost. i currently have my factory battery and a deka 9a31, going to add another group 31 in the back with the amp. how much alternator do i need with 2 group 31s and a large OEM starting batt?

Can't seem to find anyone who will build me an alt for my car. I am looking for max output at idle. I would prefer around 150-200 at idle (800 engine RPM) if possible. If you guys at DC can help me then please let me know. Thanks, Colby Webre

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…

Hey probally just spitting in the wind with this question but figured yall could have some idea or thought. Im picking up a 1992 volvo 240 wagon and im a big power hungry type person and need a nice beefy alt that can perform well and pump over 100amps of charging power My problem is YOU CANT FIND ANY alt's over 100AMPS of power that fit onto the mounting spot, any type of alt anybody knows of that would fit or someone that could custom make something to fit my application. Gave up on the sedan and just put a bosch 100amp in it, worked ok just enough amperage for my needs atm. Would really appreciate your input on this foreign car issue.

Interested in an alt for my 2009 Honda Accord Sedan EX. Not looking to go absolutely crazy. I'd like to keep my price within the $300-$500 range. Thanks

i just wanted to ask if you guys sell alternators for subarus.

Do you guys make anything for my vehicle and if you do or it is possible to do so in a short time could you shoot me a quote. Thanks.

Since I am the one who heads up product development here at DC Power, I would like to get some input from the members here about products you guys are looking for that we may/may not already have.. I think we are more known as a "high priced" manufacturer because that's what our specialty is, building the biggest, baddest, meanest alternators you can get.. However, we also have a lot of other things we can do, we just dont get asked alot for them. Not only that, I think most people automatically assume that "I need a 200 amp alternator" when they dont. My goal is to get a lot of input from the community here about what is MOST important to you for charging system needs. O…

got a 2001 toyota avalon, need at least a 250 amp output alternator, to push a 2200 watt AQ amp now then 3500d in the near future. thanks.

Hey guys, I have a 2000 gmc Sierra with the 5.3, I was wondering if I get the dual alt get could I run a factory alt as the second one. Will the bolt holes line up correctly and would that Change the belt tension or anything like that? instead of one of yours for a couple months. I'm low on cash and have a spare oem alternator. And once I get more money saved up, get a 250xp or something of the sort. Thanks! looking forward to doing business with you!

ignore this

Hi Guys, I have been in contact with you guys before and was wondering... First of I am currently located in Singapore and owning a car here cost about 3x the price of over there in the US...suppose that is how they control traffic on the island. Many moons ago I asked you guys about an alt for a Lancer GLX. I was told there were too many mounting possibilities. I ended up taking my alt out and shipping it to ur frnds at ohio Gen who were the only guys willing to help at the time. The thing developed a cold start squeak and to ship it back will mean I have wait another month or so just for a alt; their service was great but boy that would be a pain. This also means I ne…

can someone give me a quote on a alternator for an 04 impala to power a 3500 watt amplifier

Hey there! I hear alot of people requesting alternators made for their vehicles that aren't specifically up on your website!! So i'm here to do the same. Now i'll only really get a DC if i can find a buyer for my Iraggi. But just out of curiousity and possibly future installment, do you guys have alternators available for my vehicle or would they have to be custom made? and of course, the price!!! Thanks for your time!

First off do you offer a 270 for a 2007 Toyota matrix? Also I saw a post where you stated it would do rated idle power (170-180 if I recall) for fifteen minutes with no problem. Are there any consequences doing this rated output for more than fifteen minutes? What us your rated turn on and max rotating speed? Also do these alternators have any built in surge protection or do you offer any that is external? For example our 90amp power supplies used for shows have a 1,000 amp surge protection. Thanks, Quentin

Well first I should say i have a 2002 jeep liberty (KJL v6 3.7 liter I was reading an article on its eletrical system and found this charging system of our KJ's is much different to ones in the past. I have been told that in an efforet to protect the PCM and other computer components in the KJ, the charging system draws from the battery FIRST and then calls on the Atl/Gen to re-plenish the battery as needed. That is why the new generation of Deep Cycle batteries work so well. They have the reserve power to allow the extra toys without needing to add the huge alt/gen of the past. As you use your lights, stereo, winches, what ever, they will be drawing from a battery that…

Rob told me a while back that i need to pay little extra to have a true 18v regulator installed on my alt. How much is it for starters and is it still internal i hope? 2nd, for safety sake, i'll have 6 25a stepdowns in the car to run it on 12v still.. But, if i purchase the VCM, can i still safely step the regulator down to ~15v if i ever had to bypass the stepdowns?

Wondering how much it would cost to get one of these shipped to Houston, thanks!

Hey I was wondering if you could give me a price for alts that fit 2009 ford escapes 2.5l 4 cyl. Also, would like to run 18v so I either need a dual alt bracket for my car or if thats not possible then one with an external reg. or whatever is necessary to run 18v. Ready to order very soon, please get back to me ASAP. Thanks

Hi Guys, Bought a 270xp alt from you guys for a 4.0L 1997 jeep wrangler, sold the jeep, got a 2002 volvo v40 wagon, 1.9L inline 4. Do you guys have cases that fit the volvo? Can I send my alt in and get that switched out? How much? Thank you, Stefan Talked to Stan, this thread can be closed. Thank you.

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

Hello, bought a 270xp from you guys on 9/21/10, sales number was 12967. Due to me vehicle (1997 jeep wrangler straight six 4.0l engine) it needed a bypass harness, but you guys shipped it without a resistor for the stock wiring since they were out of stock. I sent Kyle a PM on October 29th and haven't heard any news about the resistor... I'd like to get this in sometime before I forget about it and have to call you a year later asking about it. Thanks, Stefan Hinote
