    Was wondering if anyone at Mechman could reply to this , looking to sent my alt in for a self exciting upgrade Was posting my ideas and was given this response. "Just reinstall the stock one and use your mechman you have now as the second alt. Call them up and see if they'll R&R it and install a self-exciting regulator. Shouldn't cost more than $100; far cheaper than a new alternator" Thank you, Carlos

    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…

    Well I bought this last tax season and after some growing pains with my car everything is still going good. I'm pushing a Crescendo 3500d and a Crescendo 1000c4 with a xspower S3400 under hood and a D1200 in the trunk. voltage at the front battery after a 20min drive on the highway is 14.6 driving and maybe 14.2 at idle. I set it like that maybe I can move it up a tad but I'm comfortable like this I really don't want to mess anything up. I'm saving pennies to change out the D1200 with a group 31 battery. Aside from that This mechman Alternator is solid and I am still happy I bought it. pay no attention to that little metal piece on adjustment screw thats gone now F…

    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!

    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.
