Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Since you're only running less than 2k and im assuming its a daily I'd get what ever alt will give you most output at idle. It may not be their biggest alt out there but you don't need them biggest one anyways. Whatever you go with make sure it's a hairpin 6 phase. Did you have a specific alt you were looking at?

rebar Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Since you're only running less than 2k and im assuming its a daily I'd get what ever alt will give you most output at idle. It may not be their biggest alt out there but you don't need them biggest one anyways. Whatever you go with make sure it's a hairpin 6 phase. Did you have a specific alt you were looking at? No, not yet. Thats why Im here. Im looking for a long lasting alt I can trust I wont have to replace every year. High amperage at 800 rpm sounds great because my cruising rpm is 2000 at 70 mph. My problem is my existing alt is a 6 groove pulley and probably from the existing van. The cummins engine is 8 groove pulleys and I hoped I could finally use a 8 groove belt if my alt was 8 groove. I just replaced my a/c compressor with 8 groove. Can you help me choose one, or build one for me? Edited July 28, 2015 by rebar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 if its a diesle, get the most output at IDLE you can. You will want the LOWEST turn on you can find. The revs on oil burners hardely see 2k for total output. And idle is even worse. There are half a dozen people on here with smokers that hate their top output with their 600-800$ after market alts. Get the badest idle you can find, and youll be happy. 2 Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Well you posted in the mechman forum so I was assuming you were looking at a mechman alt. I'm sure if you give them a call they will go over everything with you and help you get what you are after.
