Posted October 12, 201113 yr Got a Ford 4.6, 5.4 or 6.8 with the V-mount alternator? This is the unit if you like to pound in the parking lot or cruise. #00+a @ 1700rpm240+a @ IDLEOn the car video here-
October 12, 201113 yr How does this alt effect gas mileage?Also any ballpark pricing?Your gonna make my wallet shrink making all this awesome product for the crown vics.Also If you want I could post this up on crownvic.net theres alot of hardcore CV enthusiasts who would probably love this.
October 12, 201113 yr Author I don't think mileage will go down a measurable amount, but I have not measured. Cost will be determined shortly on the alternator, the idler kit will be $199 for the idlers, bracket and hardware, you supply the belt. I highly recommend it to kill belt slip! My car doesn't make the slightest chirp since installing this idler kit.

My car doesn't make the slightest chirp since installing this idler kit.Ive been thinking about it alot. When during dry weather I have no belt slip, but everytime it rains I have a good bit, Im not running stock alt though. I have an autozone 175amp peak and after I added the diodes inline with the "sensing" wire my voltage output has increased nicely, but I can tell the alts working hard and my mileage suffered. When I start rebuilding the system in this car, I will definately be investing in some mechman products for the simple fact I know for a fact they will work great on a crown vic.

October 12, 201113 yr Author It will work great and remember that I drive this car daily so I will always be improving.
October 13, 201113 yr just wish i could afforded one. im just a working man. that plays hard and demos even harder.

October 13, 201113 yr Do you have a pic of what comes with the idler kit? I'm curious to know what's involved before taking the plunge.
October 13, 201113 yr Author Do you have a pic of what comes with the idler kit? I'm curious to know what's involved before taking the plunge. It's in the other video in the double idler thread. The bracket comes with the idlers attached and we include the 2 bolts that you have to swap to have proper fit. wow, what a monster! Saw some pics of your unit going on!
October 13, 201113 yr Do you have a pic of what comes with the idler kit? I'm curious to know what's involved before taking the plunge. you dont have a ford!
October 13, 201113 yr when will the pulley system be for sale? Edited October 13, 201113 yr by suicideking602
October 13, 201113 yr Do you have a pic of what comes with the idler kit? I'm curious to know what's involved before taking the plunge. you dont have a ford!I have a friend who does. If he wanted one I could help him out.
October 14, 201113 yr How about a 400+ amp, and ~100 at idle for a 01 F-250 with 7.3?I feel ignored. But I guess it should answer my question. But I seen a TeamSSA member have exactly what I'm looking for, just not the right case. Well, isn't there a T mount for that case?i

Lol.How do I find out about details and pricing? I hoped giving up on idle it will drop price a little bit, because I rarely listen to music idling. And if I do, that's why I have idle rpm controller. Plus, I will have a stock alt also, which should help on idle.
October 17, 201113 yr Author There's a couple ways I can go with these units, the Mitsu can do a lot more down low or the Ford unit can do 165a @ idle a cost less to produce.
