DC needs to stop lagging and finish their bracket for the 4.3

I have a Singer on my blazer and a DC 270xp on my Tacoma. Both are nice no complaints from either except dc's prices lol

This is the only thing I will comment on. Dom has screwed more people than you can imagine out of a lot of money. He disappeared for quite some time and then came back and lots of people accepted him with open arms.... why I have no clue but if I wasn't representing a company and were to buy one of those units, I would pay with American Express because they will get your money back one way or another... :lol:

I can say I have a dc and a singer. There both top notice. I knw I read alot of people complain dc is slow. I had no issues. I had it for 6 months and then had an issue. The guys at dc had it fixed in less then 2 weeks. Once I fabricated a bracket I got a singer gm 400a version. Amazing hands down. Both companies ate great.

Great post from TeamHT as usual.

I will say that I've never heard one single negative thing about Ohio Gen. And that's the only company I can say that about.

I had a Singer and it was fine.

But honestly... is there any way you can clamp your current alt? Maybe it's doing rated and you just need more reserve. Single digit voltage with your amps on an XS d3100 is, in my opinion... user error.

I don't have anything against you going with a more proven company for your alt, but maybe you should explore your current electrical before you drop 600 bucks on an alt you may not need. That money may very well be better spent on batts.

I agree with T-fade, seems like there's something wrong besides sub par electrical, i'm running a single G34 red top and a 180amp denso alternator, DC 3.5k@1ohm, lowest I drop is 12.8 if I play near my boxes tuning frequency.

DC 10k @ .7

At idle, 13.3 at full tilt. Well, 97% of full tilt. Im still being a puss for now.

after 4 songs, lowest my fluke caught (min/max option running the entire time) i caught a blip of 13.1

AGAIN, all at idle.

Driving, or at revs, i hold the "hot" charge, all day.

Im extremely satisfied with the set up. And, it will only get better.

After 3 minutes of the heat we are seeing, (been around triple digits for weeks now) i hot charge at 13.6-13.8.

XS VCM shipping this week, will remedy that. :)

Used Ohio Gen 160/220 about 8-10 years ago, 7 batts, 10k watts, the alt outlasted the batts......never an issue with alt, sold the 4.3 Astro van with alts still in it....

Now using 370 Elite 6 phase Mechman alt, only about 1-2 months but no problems or complaints so far

I hate PCM controlled alts but that's not company specific issue, lol
