Alternator?

Dc is out of thier 190 amp's and can't give me a ship date, my 2 year old db electrical alternator is going out on me! This 110 amp idle, 220 amp @ 1200 rmp looks interesting
Anybody using a power basttard alternator?

I have their xp390 prototype. its a 500 amp alt. I also have a pair of their 175 amp alts that i was running duals. They are sitting in my garage. The duals are looking for a new home. You can also just run one as a single 175 amp alt. Pics are in one of my albums if interested. Pm me.

I am a big fan of the DC Power units...you could just send your DB back and have it rebuilt too...after you buy the ones from Racer...then you've got backup.

Owners name is Brent.

Very knowledgeable guy! Has taken DC alts and Mechman as well and did 1v1 bench testing and his have outperformed every time. He doesn't skimp on anything and it shows in his bench tests.

I'm expecting 400+A out of my 350A unit when it arrives later this week. That and a 1$ per amp you really can't beat his pricing.

Let us know!! My Excursion eats them, been through like 5. My f250 still has the original. Pulling a camper with the Ex seems to kill 'em.

JMatthews you may wanna look at your belts for being too tight and bad pulley alignment. That will destroy alts quick!

Good call, but I think I have some sort of battery drain or something because My batteries only last 2 years and Alts. about the same. I think they are dooking it out somehow and both losing haha. That and the weird vibration at 65 + and the Ex would be perfect. Lol.
