    I am currently working on a build in a 2000 chevy blazer. Everything has been going well up until now. I purchased a singer alt and decided to go ahead and purchase a mechman vcm. Everything has been hooked up to see if the alt was charging and its working fine. When I hooked up the vcm Im not getting any power to the unit. I went back to check the wires and to see if I was getting voltage from the ignition feed and everything is fine. I did notice however that the plug going to the alt only has one wire when its a four pronged plug. I wanted to know if that was the reason for things not working properly.

  7. 2500 dodge ram with factory alt. i have been having major voltage drop issues with my Fi SP4 that i installed so i think its time to upgrade. i run 2 group 31 batteries 975CCA each, how many of these could i run off a single alt? how large of an alternator could i run in my truck and what will it cost? would i need to run more than one for my power demands? about 380A of sound system, a 5KW power inverter and a 450A winch.

  8. i bought the alt like 2 months ago because of it not fitting my car bracket it took a while to get the right bracket. but anyways when i installed my alt i notice my car stated to misfire i thought it was my spark plugs so i took it to my mechanic had he told me it was the alt. when he unplugged the alt the car was perfectly fine and as soon as he plug it back in the jerking began. and it gets worst when theirs a load like a/c radio headlights why is my alt causing my car too jerk is it a bad alt watch this video to see and it does charge 14.4v but when the car jerks it drops 14.0 - 13.7

    I've been having issues with the PCM messing with my voltage, so I spoke with Josh Over at mechman and he told me to see what happens when I disconnect it.. this is what happens.. this is something he has NEVER seen. As I say in the video it is not a self exciting alternator. It is a brand new 320a alt.

    Hi, I recently bought a 270 XP for a Golf tdi, direct from Mechman. It was for a friend of mine. He runs 2 big amps : an MTX te4000 and a Lanzar opti 4x250, with 4 Optima blue batts. The problem is the voltage : too high. It stays above 15v whatever he tries, giving him much problem with the car. After some electronic checkings, some error messages told him : too much voltage ! The alternator is internally regulated, so he can't just buy an external regulator. What can he do ? Now he had to disconnect the alt to drive safely, but he can't do that for too long. I think he is ok to send the alt back to Mechman because he can't do nothing with it. He is, of course, really d…

All of your questions for sales, technical assistance or anything else can be answered by any of the other staff here at Mechman, and they will be present here on the forums just as I have been. This has been a great experience, one that added much knowledge on top of my years of experience, and it is unfortunate that life has pulled me back to California. I am thankful for my time working here at Mechman, for the customers I have helped, and for the people I have met, and leave here with new friends, business associates and knowledge that I can share wi…

    I just wanted to let you guys know that your customer service is SUPERB! I ordered my 320a alt for my Mustang (which I was told couldn't be done)... Micheal hooked me up with a great alternator for less than anyone else had quoted me. I called back and spoke with Micheal, he said he had to special order some parts and that it would be shipping out soon. He contacted me the day he shipped the alternator and I got it a few days later! I would NOT hesitate to do business with the guys at Mechman. They are definitely on top of their game and some of the best guys out there!
