  1. If you are just under the turn-on speed this should get you there.
  2. Unfortunately that link does not have the crank pulley diameter. EDIT- Just got your email, Kyle says 5.33" or 5.66" (135.382mm or 143.764mm) The 135.4mm w/ 55mm alt pulley gives you a 2.46 pulley ratio. The 143.8mm w/ 55mm alt pulley gives you a 2.61 pulley ratio. The 135.4mm w/ our 48mm pulley gives you a 2.82 pulley ratio. The 143.8mm w/ our 48mm pulley gives you a 2.99 pulley ratio. Unless you plan on exceeding 7000rpm you should have no problem with the smaller diameter alternator pulley.
  3. Searchable, yes. It may take some doing, but it is available on the internet.
  4. A belt too small will cause problems for sure. They also need to be TIGHT as the alternator produces way more power at low speeds than the OEM and that's when slip will occur. I can go down to a 48mm pulley but that will only make a slip issue worse. That's the alternator pulley diameter, I need the crank pulley diameter to determine the rotor speed.
  5. You may be able to search the pulley diameter online to get your OEM crank pulley diameter.
  6. Looking good! Can't wait to have it up and running!
  7. RPM related issues can be corrected if this will get the rotor speed high enough. With the diameter of your crank pulley and the diameter of your existing pulley I can determine what your rotor speed is and how much it will change.

  9. Probably going EFI down the road, but this works good for now.
  10. Matt's Mustang is ALIVE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwQDOanUTek
  11. This round of large is larger The last large was more like a medium, fit me too tight. Just tried one of these on and it fit like a large should, I guess they used a different material this time?
  12. We build for this application. Email [email protected] for a quote.
  13. Colorado doesn't get very good mileage (and I don't have an alternator for it yet!)
  14. Who has an E46? Who wants a high-output alternator? Our engineer and I just finished up the E46 Denso kit and it fits like factory! 220a, 270a and 320a available, easy installation with basic tools and uses the factory belt. NO cutting, grinding or other BS required on your BMW to install this unit. Want a price? Email me- [email protected]
  15. I'm glad to hear that we could work this out for you and that you are OK. You being OK is the most important, the rest can be fixed. I'm with Dictator on the Volvo, but I am biased I guess as I have one. When you are car shopping you can email me with what you are looking at and I can tell you what we can build for so you can be sure to have an upgrade. Thanks for posting up the feedback, we work hard to keep our customers happy. Eric@mechman.
  16. Nice tool, looks like it works better than some of the other tools on the market.
  17. It's nice to have this work out in our favor for once.
  18. "Out for delivery" The unit has been recovered! The victim of the credit card fraud has been refunded, the alternator is recovered and we are only out the shipping charge to Atlanta. I call this a win.
  19. UPS has been notified and MAY be able to stop the delivery. The bureaucratic BS that is UPS can be a real hassle, but I hope they can stop the shipment. The owner no longer lives at this address, the house is vacant. The Realtor has been notified and will be posting on the door to all shippers to return to sender as unable to deliver. He has been informed of the situation and will pick up the package if it is at the house and has been notified to be on the lookout for an 08 Avalanche in the neighborhood. If anyone is in the neighborhood PLEASE be POLITE to the Realtor, he is on our side.
  20. Check out this thread if you are in the area. Thanks, Eric.
  21. Who wants to help us PWN a scammer? Somebody just used a stolen credit card to purchase an alternator from our online store, but we might be able to catch it in time. The fraudulent delivery address is: 1200 Cameron Creek Marietta, GA 30062 The package is shown as out for delivery- If anyone can go to this address and intercept the package, and also post pictures of the building and any vehicle's associated with it, we might be able to catch this criminal. We are offering $500 MECHBUCKS good towards the purchase of any alternator reward for anyone who can do this. HELP US GET THIS CLOWN !!!! It's *******s like this who increase the cost of goods for everyone!!!
  22. For your truck it's not going to be a hairpin unit, but we do build one that will bolt in place of the OEM in 270a and 320a. As for the Cadillac, email [email protected] for a quote.
