the alternator was exactly what i needed it was stronger than stated it puts out 278 amps at 1800 and i think it was 169 amps at idle was much needed and also i received it quicker from sonix electronix because they had it in stop already rather than waiting 2-4 weeks

Mechman G Series Alternators
The hugely popular G series of large case 3 phase alternators have been tried and true for over 15 years. These units offer excellent low RPM output, with 100,000 mile durability. This G series unit features Mechman's custom solid copper rectifier with large 65 amp press fit diodes and over sized output stud for excellent durability. It cranks out over 165 amps at just 600 RPM engine speed on any standard GM truck, with full 270+ amps at anything above 1800 rpm engine speed! A 46mm hard anodized billet aluminum 6 rib pulley is used to maximize low RPM output, so a 1/2" to 1" shorter than stock length belt (not included) is recommended for optimum belt tension. The 270 amp G series units are made in the USA and come with a 2 year warranty.

Please check your vehicle's original alternator plug and compare to the plug photo to verify proper fitment before ordering. Adapter harnesses are available (sold separately) for customers with rectangular shaped alternator plugs For customers desiring adjustable voltage, these units are compatible with the Adjustable Voltage Boost module for 1996 - 2004 GM 4 pin oval connectors.

I have an 02 Tahoe with a huge audio system. I had an Iraggi 320 amp and it died on me so I needed a quick replacement. Everyone knows how slow Iraggi is on his warranties. So I bought this one. I ordered it and it was here the very next day. A+ shipping and an awesome alternator! This things holds voltage well! I usually stay in the 13s at full tilt. I'm running almost 4,000 watts. Granted I do have XS power batteries and 1/0 wire. I plan to get another one of these and run a dual alternator bracket and add more subs and amps! Buy this alternator! You won't regret it!

Right out of the box my voltage sits at 14.7 all day long with this alternator.. not too crazy about the design of the power nd ground studs on it, as it will easily strip out of the casing if torqued too tight especially the ground.. but as far as power it's Allllll there.

I have had it for 17 months now and it's still charging my system perfect.Remember most amps say full power at 14.4 volts.With out a alternator you can't do it right so just spend the money and stop getting 3 batteries

Why did you choose this?
Sonic Electronix Store
does this have the four pin oval or double d plug?
Best Answer: 4 pin oval plug but i suggest to go with another alternator company alternater crapped out after 3k miles and mechmans customer service is horrible i threw mine away and bought one from singer alternators 10 times the alternator and life time warranty and best customer service in the biz
This looks like the small case alt. If so would it fit my 1993 chevy Silverado? It is the 5 1/8 case like this one. 5.7 liter 350. Any help is appreciated.
Is it enough to run air-conditioning cooling radiator fans and lights at lower RPM?
