  2. 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 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

    Got on the phone with Dennis, I asked if they had an alternator for my 2.0l Mazda 3 2007. Told me I was in luck. I asked a few questions then I made the payment. very happy with the ease of ordering the product. The very next day, unfortunatly my car was totaled. Claimed totally unfixable. This of course means I do not need the alternator anymore. Called Mechman the very next day and explained the situation. He told me it was no problem and the money would be refunded. All transactions about returning the alternator were dealt with by Eric. He handled it very promptly and very professionaly. A few emails and a couple days later my money was refunded. I told Eric, that …

    Hello, A friend of mine needs an alternator for his Vw Golf (not a GTI, only a diesel GT). He wants to be sure your product will fit. they told him his car have the same alt than the GTI's. But you may know more ! He's running +4500 watts rms on several Optima batteries. He told me he found something on your site, and wants to know how can he buy from you. How and if you deliver in our little island in the Caribbeans ?!!! We are in MARTINIQUE (French West Indies). We would like to hear from you before we order anything.

    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.

    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.

    Mechman 270 installed in a 07 nissan frontier. Is it normal for these alts to whine? It sounds like alt whine that you would hear coming through someones speakers,but, its coming from the alt itself. Alt is working great otherwise.

    Just some pictures of my alternator for my 2009 Ford Escape that Eric made me. He said its only 1 of 2 made. But after installing it found out the UPS must of dropped it in shipping cause after running it the internal fan is rubbing the inside of the case and throwing shaveings all over the place. After calling Eric he said that it must of somehow shifted when it was dropped buy he said that he will get it fixed up and get it back to me asap. So it was shipped back to Eric this morning.
