DC Power Alternator

Last week my alternator started to die on me. Putting out less than 12 volts. After reading alternator threads on here until my brain was numb, I decided to order the DC Power 185 Amp alternator. I ordered it Tuesday and it got to my house yesterday! Beautiful Ford blue.

The problem now is the wiring. It takes a different wiring plug than my truck has. Their website says an adapter is included but I did not get one. Did those of you with a DC alternator have this problem?

I cant get anyone to answer the phone at DC Power today.

There is an adapter. If DC isn't answering the phone, try email.

Any idea if the adapter would be available at one of the local stores? Orielly, autozone? I dont really want to start hacking wires.

That sure is Purdy. I'd have to clean the rest of my engine bay just to be able to put that thing on. Hope you get it hooked up soon.

Thought I had better update this. Last Monday I called DC Power, they shipped me the pigtail and I had it in hand Tuesday. Buttoned everything up and it works like a champ. Now I'm going to have to pretty up the rest of the engine bay!
