Help with dual alt kit from DC Power

[Nick7186]

I ordered a dual alt kit for my 06 Chevy silverado 1500 with 5.3L. My stock alt is a 2 prong harness. The kit came with a 4 prong harness. I want to add a stock alt but Im not sure what year model to order an alt for. I talked with a salvage yard and the guy said I would need an alt from a 96-00 but Im not to thrilled about buying a 17 year old alt. Anybody got any experience with this?

Why not ask DC?

Yeah email DC

Thanks for the kind words there Orion Stang. I dont remember asking anybody how to hook anything up. The instructions are quite clear except for which alt to get. I have emailed DC and they told me to get a GM with a 4 prong. Sorry I asked if anybody had any experience which year models have what prong. Ill go get back on my short bus...

apparently orionstang has something shoved up his a**

It doesn't really matter where you get your advice from, as long as they give you the knowledge to get done what needs to be done, who cares haha.

You can't run a 2 pin on a dual bracket because the PCM can't communicate to it. Thats why a 4 pin is required when running more than the stock alternator.

Ok. Do you have any idea what the last yr model chevy ran the 4 pin so I can get that alt?

don't pay any attention to him, he is very a moody individual. I deleted his post because it was highly uncalled for. Continue on.
