Mechman High Output Alternators

Mechman Alternators Forum Section @ SSA Mechman Alternators's online Board.

  1. Started by Sundownguy,

    I posted this elsewhere and was told by many that Mechman is the place that I would find the best answer. I typically would not ask another company for advice concernering some company's product but since I can't get an an answer from them... why not... I have some questions concerning a high output alternator and figured there's no better place on the internet to find a good answer to my problem. I own a 2002 Tahoe, and am in the process of trying to set up dual alternators. The alternator I ended up with is manufactured by Mean Green Industries. I know nothing about this alternator. The website tells me very little useful information about it. When I attempt to contac…

    Hello All- I have made the decision to move back to California and my last day at Mechman will be Wednesday, May 9th. 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 can't say enough positive things about this alternator besides it was a wise decision to go with Mechman. I bought this unit for a fairly large power hungry system, but it has improved so many other electronic functions of my car. Thanks for a great product and excellent customer service. Keep up the good work!

    The first video shows you the visible differences between the 2011 SMD unit and the 2012. Videos to come shortly of the 2012 unit on the dyno to show you the brutal power curve these units produce. Up until I sold my Crown Victoria I personally ran one of these units in my daily driver, total reliability and incredible performance all the time.

    I saw that mechman offers a alternator for the rsx type-s, my question is will that alternator fit on the base type rsx? I don't see why it wouldn't because they have basically the same exact engine in them. Thanks.

  16. Started by Jays04TSX-E,

    So we installed my 350 SMD with external regulator on my Sierra. When not using the factory harness, I have a message on my instrument cluster saying "battery not charging". Ok understandable, the CPU is not seeing the signal, so we called and emailed Matt. He told us about the jumper to run (the L terminal I believe) but that didn't clear the message. ON TOP of this, the build was done, so I went to drive it home from my buddys shop and had a low brake pedal. Pulling out to the first stop sign, I now have a "service brake booster" light on my instrument cluster. I did some research on it when I got home and I think the 2 messages are tied together versus me having bad lu…

    MechMan, is amazing... I've been in contact with them for almost a year now(insane)... I have been looking into an alternator for a long time and didn't have the money, when I did I ordered a DC Power but then got into some money issues and they refunded my money which was an amazing thing... Because of this I was able to read more about the other companies, Singer and MechMan... I felt most comfortable with them and then they became a vendor here which made everything much sweeter... So, I was given the okay by my current lady and she also might have funded this item as well... So on the way to my house is a 270a alternator, courtesy of MechMan.!!!!

  18. Last weekend the Mechman Jeep had to pull a full-size Blazer up a muddy obstacle. Temps in the 20's, wet ground don't make for a lot of fun when you are stuck, but the 14v batteries with the 270a Mechman alternator power this Smittybilt 8k winch quite well. Check out the video to see what this is all about- <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-UaN6RAOGuQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://youtu.be/-UaN6RAOGuQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UaN6RAOGuQ&list=UUJjdch1py9Moz126daEkBGg&index=1&feature=plcp So who here wants 14v power?

    I purchased a closeout 260 amp alt from mechman today. Even though Matt said he was out of office. To work while your on a vacation is commitment and I commend him for that. I hope to be very pleased with this product and pray it solves my voltage problem. He answered the phone like a normal day, did not rush me as If he were busy and answered all my questions with confidence. No wonder why people love Mechman!!!! Thanks Mechman for helping a low budget guy like me out and I will for sure do more transactions with you. Cheers, Clint
