DC Power Alternators

So, I ordered a new alternator from them about 4 weeks ago, and it still says payment captured, processing.

Is this typical of this company?

Unfortunately yes, that's typical.

Could try re-ordering thru ficmrepair.com

I also ordered an alternator from the about 2 weeks ago I got the 185 amp. I just got some tracking information from them that says it shipped out yesterday. Did you get yours painted? Because I think I remember them saying that would take an extra 2 weeks or something. I do however think they are just kind of slow in general when it comes to getting things sent out.

It took about 3mo to get mine a few yrs back - they periodically fall behind - they are very nice folks and will get you everything you need/ordered eventually. I got mine painted/powder-coated

I called up and got mine the same day. I do live not to far from them. What did you order if I may ask?

We are so excited to become a stocking distributor for DC Power. Our first pallet of units will be in Monday, in fact!

This pallet will only contain the 185 amp units, but we'll be getting in 190HD's, 250HD's, and 270XP's here in a couple more weeks and then will be all but set!

To the original OP: we do have some 'sway' with DC Power. If we can help you in any way to get your unit sent out sooner, drop us a note. Even you didn't buy from us, we'll still be happy to help you out (so won't hold it against you that you didn't buy from us, though are still in therapy over it. ).

Just keep us in mind for any other of your 6.0 needs in the future! If Ford carries it, so do we. Ditto for the aftermarket.

And I was fortunate enough to have credits in the Rep bank to send Ed's way -- I was thinking the same thing. The definition of great customer service is right there...

Too funny! You guys seriously rock.

Website is finally going well. I had to get rid of the prior developer and am on to a new company. We are close to being able to start populating the online store maybe as early as next week!

Yeah sorry about the long lag in replying, but you know how it is.

It was just a OEM 185 replacement, no anodizing as much as I wanted it LOL.

I appreciate the offer for getting it faster, and I think I'll give them till a week or two after today then cancel and reorder through you.

Thanks for the info guys.
