FiQ150db Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Got my new Ford 6g alt the other day. Is meant to be fully adjustable voltage wise from 13.5-19.5v. But there is no potentiometer ? Heres a picture of the back of the alt. I couldnt find any screw or anything to adjust voltage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no potentiometer ? Heres a picture of the back of the alt. I couldnt find any screw or anything to adjust voltage ? looks like its setup for an external regulator.

FiQ150db Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Also got this email from the Xspower distro who was told this: I am sure he is overlooking it… please see page 11 showing the rear of the alternator. The red thing is the internal adjustable regulator, and the round hole on the top side is the potentiometer. It is a plastic pot, so make sure he is gentle when adjusting or he could strip it out. Looking at the catalogue that alt has a clearly visible screw on it. Mine clearly does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiej Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Also got this email from the Xspower distro who was told this:I am sure he is overlooking it… please see page 11 showing the rear of the alternator.

Looking at the catalogue that alt has a clearly visible screw on it. Mine clearly does not. My apologies for the mix up on your order. When the dealer and I were discussing your order we were also considering setting it up to be used with the new VCM module. (below) When we determined the VCM was not available for it yet, I assumed it was understood it couldnt be adjusted without it. It was my mistake for making that assumption. I've already requested an update on the VCM for this model, and if something cant be supplied soon, you are more than welcome to return the alt for a full refund.

Hi Scottie Well its cost me $100+ to get the thing fitted and if I were to take it off I would be alt-less as my old HO has been sold and my standard one has also been sold. Guess I have no option but to wait for the VCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiej Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Nearly 5 months now dude and theres still no application for the Ford alts ? We plan to release a new version VCM this month that will be compatible with some Ford applications. Unfortunately, the 6G will not yet be compatible, but I do have a solution for your application. We offer a harness that will plug in to your alt and allow the adjustment you are looking for. It is a less sophisticated piece, and is less expensive. Please contact us, or your local dealer for more info. Quote XS POWER Batteries, Chargers & Accessories 888-4XS-POWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
