eduardo817 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 ok so im in need of a extra battery AND alternator so i wanna ask everybody here with experience. who here who has a 2000 01 02 03 04 or 05 impala have a H/O alternator? which is the best deal for the amperage out right now? i know cheap does not equal good deal but i need input on people who actually have the same car i know DC/ Mechman/ and a website called motorcityreman that also makes HO alternators. i need one so i want to have input on most/ all of these to know which is the most reliable/best alternator company to go with thanks in advance to everybody who helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosin Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Don't have an Impala but Mechman is a very good brand. Really good customer service I hear. Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardo817 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Don't have an Impala but Mechman is a very good brand. Really good customer service I hear. yea i heard so too and as of right now, im kind of leaning towards mechman but i just want more input from more people with the same car since they know which alternator/brand they could recommend --WAIT!! you have a grand am, basicly the same motor if its the 3.4 sfi (since thats what i have) do you have a H/O alternator? what do you recomment without being biased?

Mosin Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I don't have the 3.4L. I have the 2.3 Quad (4cyl) Haven't yet got around to getting an alt but when I do it'll be Mechman. Meade uses them now IIRC. Thats gotta mean something. lol http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/86092-what-makes-mechman-alternators-different/ Quote Derp.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Power bastards makes one. 220max HO for $300. Might get one. I put a powerbastard on the test stand. Did 180 amps when it was supposed to do 220. Then i put it in the freezer for 3 hours and ran it... only did 200. Oh and it only did 60-80 amps at idle..
