8ight Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 I would still clamp the load tester as well. I wouldn't trust the instrumentation on it but I suppose that is just me. I'm gonna hate

momofx76 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Posted March 1, 2013 Ok I will try that in a little bit with my clamp meter.... I just might take it to Advance Auto Parts as well since our local one got some nice digital tester ... I would still clamp the load tester as well. I wouldn't trust the instrumentation on it but I suppose that is just me.
8ight Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 If the clamp is accurate and it's dropping I'm sure DC can get you squared away. I'm gonna hate
8ight Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Have you contacted a DC rep here or gave them a call? I received very good service from them as the second owner of one of their products, even. Forum rep: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/20985-dc-power-kyle/ I'm gonna hate
tacomaguy1 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Call them....and the belt can be slipping without making any noise Team Flex Issues
taylorpro Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 This the rule of thumb I use whenever I've done my HO alts. 1) Bolt it up 2) Put the stock belt on 3) Drive to autozone. 4) Buy the 3 next smallest sizes from stock. 5) Go in the parking lot and try them out 6) Use the one that you can BARELY get one with the tensioner as loose as possible. (On mine i had to peg the tensioner wide open and scoot each rib of the belt over the alt pulley) You have to remember all new belts will stretch some small amounts. So getting the smallest belt possible ensures you'll have good tension even after some time. And most ALL aftermarket alts use a smaller than stock pulley to get idle amperage up. So if they told you to use a stock belt size, well that was just some shit.lol 1999 Ford ExplorerTeam Sundown Audio4th 2012 Db Drag WF Street Stock 150.8dbYoutube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomyurblownOperation 156 No wall Build Log!http://www.stevemead...x/#entry2196123
8ight Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Before you go buying anything I'd get in touch with DC Power and see what they think the issue is being caused by. If you should need to purchase a belt get the proper size as mentioned and shoot for Goodyear or Gates they make the best belts you can attain easily. I'm gonna hate
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Edit: I can't read. Call me at 951 602 5378 for assistance. All of our alternators get tested by a computerized test machine so I can personally tell you the alternator is putting out adequate power.. we source directly from Denso and not junk yard alternators. Each one is tested by the builder himself to make sure the alternator performs correctly. So simply give me a call and we can go over your whole setup.
