well the truck did good never died as soon as it cools down abit I will throw that DC Power Alternator on

Got to give the Ford an atta Boy for not leaving me stranded on the side of the road Go 6.0 go

 

and for the Record short trip

the DC Power Alternator 190 Amps with single wire upgrade Holds alot more Steady Voltage 14.0-13.8volts
All Symtoms Gone batery light Flicker ect........

The reman Ford 20 months service voltage 13.0- 12.2 volts Drops today

Stock reman alternator made it no more than 15,000mi and that might be giving it a few 1000mi

tommorro I put some miles If I got it wrong that light seams REALLY sensitive so I will know it I hope

probably need a coil pack for the amps I think thats what killed it

 

My daughter's escape never made it more than 13 months on a motorcraft reman. Just long enough to get out of warranty. I started replacing the brush/regulator assembly and away they go for another stint. This last one was fried internally though so it's off to Vautozone for a lifetime replacement this time. After replacing 4 alternators I'm tired of them because you have to pull the axle to do it.

 

after running it for 60 or so miles today no battery light whatso ever

I just hope it stays that way

thanks everyone

 

This DC power alternator is Dying


the hotter it is the less volts it puts out


my guess is the voltage regulator is failing


Rebuild it???


I will post Mileage this DC unit made it to I think it will come in at 60K

 

Neece-Leville 230 and don't look back!

 

Im been thinking of buying one of these they seam pretty popular here


do you have a Link


and do they come with the smaller pulley ??


I haven't researched them at all

 

Got mine off eBay. Be careful of fake models and I already had a small pulley. Send Jack a PM, he has all the good gouge!

 

so you have to get one from an authorized retailer then?


Does the company have a website

 

Try this website Benny. Only one I could find under Google

They are made by Prestolite and are normally put on heavy-duty trucks.

I didn't say authorized dealer... I said be careful of fakes on eBay. Mine came from eBay, Jacks was eBay.

I'm in the Chicago airport on my phone or I'd send you a link. PM too-many-toys and I'd bet he gives you a link to buy the right one and at a steal of a price!

Ed@FICM REPAIR also sells them at a good price.

 

Thanks for the referrals, guys! Yup, we have the original Made in America Leece Neville units on the shelf and can get them for you with or without the pulley at your option. If you for some reason desperately want the Made in China version, we can get you that version as well for like $150 less, but there is no way I'd recommend it.

Here's the link to the real deal:
Leece Neville 230 amp alternator

 

Actually I got mine directly from a Ford FSE, leftover from inventory as a large city emergency services fleet was taking on 6.7Ls and these weren't needed. Ford approved!

A 140a often is all that anyone needs, but here ya go:


Pestolite's national listing of retailers.

Prestolite / Leece-Neville Distributor Search

Kaestner Auto Electric is on their list and also sells eBay for $350, sometimes discounted so they are worth a call.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OE-Leece...tS0ETs&vxp=mtr

I've delt with Kaestner Auto years ago when we were doing tractor-trailer tests and had a failed alternator on a big boy, so although eBay I know they are good.

XDP 5 minutes from me sells them with free shipping, sometimes with a discount from their $350 price.

Sometimes the real ones in Presotlite's blue and white boxes pop up on eBay as they want them out of inventory, but apparently you have to be careful. There was a company selling a group of them years ago for around $275 I believe. I helped a guy put one on his truck and that was a genuine L-N he got off eBay for $280. Correct box, correct parts, correct literature, correct label on the unit.

A few other diesel shops carry them too, just like Ed.

RareElectrical is an example of a seller to avoid per Ed's warning.
