  1. I would charge it every two weeks for best shelf life.
  2. Just give me a call to order - 1-888-MECHMAN . We can add the in-cab adjustable voltage control for only $99 additional. The total would be $599 for a bolt in, adjustable voltage Rhino 250 unit. To develop a dual kit is usually between $1,500 and $2,500 , and we would need the vehicle for a week.
  3. You should be able to just turn the voltage up with the small white plastic screw on the back of the red regulator. This will also effect it somewhat with the harness plugged in. Clockwise increases voltage, Counter-clockwise reduces voltage.
  4. Normally we would not include the large case conversions, but in this case I will. That is a screamin' deal, as we used to sell the escort kits for $599.
  5. I will include shipping for anyone on the East coast, if you are on the West coast, I'll charge you discounted shipping. Thanks matt
  6. Your vehicle should be plug-n-play. Did you order the CS 144 adjustable voltage unit, or the fixed voltage AD244 unit? You should be in the 14 volt range in either case. Thanks Matt
  7. UPDATED LIST - Get them while they're hot! I only have one of each at these prices D680 (reg. $109) only $65 shipped S680 (reg. $119) only $65 shipped 2008 style Powermaster 1005 computerized intellichargers - Reg. $299 CLEARANCED at only $199 shipped to the 48 states I only have a couple at this price so first-come , first-served!!! contact me at: [email protected] 1-888-MECHMAN extension 7
  8. If I don't pick up immeadiately, it will prompt you to make a selection.
  9. We have included select models of Compact Ford products under this sale. On the large case conversion units, that is a $200 savings!!!
  10. With the pulley supplied, your alternator will turn aprox. 3.2 times engine speed. In other words, 800 engine RPM x 3.2 = 2560 rpm at the alternator. thanks Matt
  11. Just a heads up about one of our options that not very many people know about- Any high output MechMan alternator can be ordered with a user-adjustable in-cab regulator. Unlike our competitors, we include a pre-wired 4' long abrasion resistant harness to make installation a snap. (no additional wiring required) Simply mount the adjustment knob wherever you like inside your vehicle to you can adjust your charging voltage on the fly, anywhere between 13.5 and 18.5 volts. When you purchase a MechMan unit, we offer this increadible performance option for only $99 additional!!! Ask your sales rep for details 1-888-MECHMAN
  12. I've sold quite a few of these now, new stock going on the shelf daily! Don't miss this sale!
  13. ??? Well at least the Ford units are on sale this month! You would pay $100 less for a 2004 Ford alt if you ordered it today as compared to a month ago.
  14. There are not any dual brackets available. the same 250 amp unit can be ordered with selectabe voltage (12V or 16V) for only $599. Thanks Matt
  15. What is the first and last name you gave when placing the order? I don't show any 2004 Fords units on open order. We normally ship the same day the order is placed. thanks Matt
  16. No problem- We have: 200 amp ProPower convesion (125 amps at 800rpm) = $449 shipped 250 amp Rhino Series conversion (150 amps at 800 RPM) = $499 shipped I have both in stock. thanks Matt 1-888-MECHMAN ext. 7
  17. 250 amp Rhino Series large case bolt-in units for either vehicle- Dakota = $499 shipped Tahoe = $399 shipped Check them out in the tech section on our website if you want to see the output curves www.mechman.com
  18. We primarily just do single large case conversion kits, nobody ever wants to pony up the cash that would be required for a properly engineered dual alternator kit.
  19. All any alternator does is convert mechanical energy (the rotation of a pulley) into electrical energy. (current flow from the alternator) The higher the output of the alternator, the more mechanical energy is required to turn it. All of that mechanical energy has to be transmitted by the belt. When you double, or even triple the output of an alternator, that belt will now be responsible for "gripping" 3 times as much mechanical energy, which can cause slip. The amount of "wrap" or degrees of the pulley that is contacted by the belt plays a major part in determining how much "grip" the belt will have. The width of the belt is equally important. The narrower the belt, and the less belt wrap that a pulley has, the less rubber you have contacting the pulley. More contact surface area means more grip. Some vehicles have plenty of grip, 6 rib or wider belt with 90 degrees or better belt wrap can easily grip 300 amps worth of resistance providing that the belt and tensioner are in good condition. On a vehicle like this, where the belt is barely wrapped around the alternator pulley, and it is only 4 grooves wide, it will likely start to slip around 175 amps worth of load. Basically, belt slippage varies on the type of vehicle and the belt/pulley system that is used. ISO could mount an additional idler pulley next to the alternator to route the belt to wrap around the alternator pulley, which would increase the belts grip on the alternator pulley.
  20. We are working on a slick dual kit for Hemi, but we don't have anything for them right now unfortunately.
