Josef344 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have a 310A alternator from Singer.I personally love Singer, customer service was great, fast reply. Very knowledgable man. Alternator came out sexy and flawless. It also came with a lifetime warranty- if I ever have any problems with it. DC took forever to reply back -at least in my case. One time when I was about to buy a 320A alternator from them ,I've never got an email back. So I went with Singer instead.Mechman is also a good company based on customer service. That's my experience with those three companies. I've never tested the "Real Output" of my alternator since I don't know who to go for it, but I wouldn't mind getting it tested.

skittlesRgood Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I've owned a mechman and a DCpower. It will definitely depend on what model of alt you get from each company. both have alts for different price ranges. that being said, my mechman's case cracked and the bearing would go out as soon as I put enough belt tension to almost stop belt slip under high load. went through two. bought my DCpower XP270 and the thing has lasted over 4 years with the smallest belt I can put on. both company's customer service was great but DCpower was beyond anything i've ever experienced. but others have not had as great of an experience as I did. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

boricuoso Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks skittles thats what I wanted to hear somebody who actually tried out 2or 3 of the top 3. Looks like DC power has an edge. Who else has any suggestions that has actually tried the top 3 alts . MECH DC or Singer.

TeamHT Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I wouldn't pay any mind to anybody in that thread. There was literally not one shred of proper experience or advice in there. The biggest issue or difference, which has already bee stated, is preference. Everyone is going to have a different experience so a different opinion on a specific company so I'll share my experiences. Iraggi: these were the first high output alternators I bought and they were all a waste. I ordered two denominator series, one was a dud and the other didn't do rated. So I talk with him and I was rebuilding so we discuss a quad alt setup. Send them back to him. I pay for another two so now I have a total of four denominator alts I'm expecting. I get ANOTHER dud, one that blows in like a day with no load because somehow it grounded itself out. Never received the last one and then he disappeared. I was left out almost $2,000 on alternators I never received or were complete shit. He's up and running now and I hope he goes under. Mechman: I went to Mechman and bought quad 270s. Output was a little lower than rated but very well could have been a belt issue and I ran three with the fourth as a spare which never saw the light of day for about 18-20 months. Pricier than other options but the alternators were good. Then I took the fourth one out, hooked it up, nothing. The alternator was kept in the shipping box, no damage whatsoever on the box, nothing visible on the alt, and by all accounts a dud. I send an email asking about my options and I'm told they don't have any record of my name or information. Which was never asked for, he was just pulling the name I used on the email. I gave him my real info but still found nothing mad was told anything longer than a year is filtered out and they can't do too much without the sales invoice. That doesn't make sense and I ask if I can call and talk to the tech for possible troubleshooting and it's kind of a very brush off answer I got. These emails were on a Sunday, and I was basically told I was lucky they were even responding to me on a Sunday. Partially true except I wasn't even expecting a response when I emailed. Not that day anyways. The products have been consistent and proven, but the experience left me very angry. Singer: the alternator seemed to have a crack in the case and I returned it. I wasn't happy about having to pay the shipping as it didn't seem to be shipping related damage. He was responsive, nice, but I've dealt with enough duds I just didn't care to continue. Excessive: nothing earth shattering but the alt did rated, was a good price, and I got to pick a BA color so it was a beautiful alt. It worked, and worked hard, and after I sold it is still running strong in another Chevy. Customer service was good, and responses took a little bit but I was never forgotten. DC: now, they have got to be the most excessive out of all the brands for like rated alts. And not by $10 or $20, hundreds in some cases. But I have never had a dead DC alt and the XP series are freaking tanks. Communications are a little slow at times, and build times can definitely vary if it's a model they don't make 1000 of at a time. But the wait is so worth it as I've never had anything better than my 270XP. So I talked and got the 370XP, haven't received yet but I have no worries on its ability to perform. It was probably the most excessive alternators I have ever purchased but it is a level of craftsmanship I don't see elsewhere. You may have different things you value so just realize what they are and go with what matches your preference. If you are impatient, maybe DC isn't for you. Its possible they may carry a specific alt on the shelf but one was never made ready and waiting for me. I value something doing as its supposed to, and doing it for a long time. DC fits the bill for me, and I'll never go anywhere again. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
