ding, ding, ding.... we have a winner, no reason to not sell your product harder than the next guy, it adds up to sales. You did read about there excellent customer service as well?

 

I called today to discuss this RMA situation. Shipping with insurance is $50. The average cost of repair is $150. Since it is over 2 yrs since I purchased it, the alternator will not be covered under their warranty (never mind it took almost 4mo to get the damn thing).

SO basically I can pay $200 to repair my $600 alternator. Yeah, I don't think so. Maybe I'll get another 2 yrs out of it.

I'll take it to a local repair place.

If this alternator is so great, why the crap warranty? Well start to finish, it has been an unpleasant experience with DC power and I certainly will not be a repeat customer.

 

If the 4 month wait is included in the warranty time, I'd be pissed off too.

 

What if you need more than the 140A? XDP claims 10% off for FTE members, but I've never really heard much about these:

Leece-Neville 230 Amp High Output Alternator AVI160T2002-2
Mean Green High Output Alternator 8478

 

So is mine!
hope they pull through for you... I have the 270 in my truck for a few months now.

 

Why are you complaining? That's only $400 bucks per year. Guess MC and the lifetime chains ain't lookin too bad right now.

 

Sorry to hear that. The more I think about it, a $600 should have a lifetime warranty. Hell, the OEM unit and a lot of run-of-the-mill aftermarket alternators last for YEARS.

 

It would be right at 2 yrs if not for the 4mo wait. So yeah, i'm pissed. At least I have my stock alt though

 

I know - what a bargain. I really thought it had a lifetime warranty - it really should, or at least 5-10 yrs. Mine still looks brand new.

 

That warranty should start when you receive the alternator not when you order it.

 

I payed 158 greenies for my power max and it's rated at 250amps.been on about 6 months and I have a 180 amp spare I keep in the truck box on long trips.......just in case

 

That is so BS!! I will never buy one of their alt. They can kiss this!

 

Iam very sorry to hear this
Now I must keep my fingers crossed on the "life expectancy" of mine. I too have the OE style boxed up in the garage, which turned out to be 1 of those Duralast Lifetime units from Autozone (was on there when I bought the truck) so hell that 1 has already lasted at least 4 years....

 

When I bought the one for my kid they said 2 years complete and life time labor after that. Which means it would cost parts and shipping for you. That dose suck on such a high dollar unit.

 

Too much of a glorified expendable item for me. I have read more negatives than positives on this company. Most alt/gen shops can build a bada$$ alternator for you for 1/2 the cost....no thanks on the snake oil
