I bought a 370 amp Mechman from D4S four years ago. Absolutely no problems, and continues to charge my lithium batteries like a beast. Mechman hands down.
I use Autotech Engineering personally, Mechman did not have anything for my vehicle I even called and talked with them and they told me unfortunately they don't make one for my vehicle year but other than that they were nice about it.
I just checked your website and Mech mans website and you guys are ripping people off hardcore like 200 US more than them not cool dude. 2004 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 240 AMP check it out for yourself you guys are charging 800 US and they are charging 600 US.
Cause they work and I’ve had one of them for about 4 years and it’s just now starting to get weak, it still works it just don’t keep up as good as it used too.. can we send them back to mechman to have them rebuilt or do they offer that..?
My question is size of belt with smaller pulley. Shouldn't the tensioner take slack out??? Wish they offer the belt with it to make it less of a headache.
I bought a 240 for my 2006 Toyota Solara SLE. Got the alt in 3 days on a Friday. They sent the wrong one, got on the phone with them and a new one was sent out Saturday morning. As far as the Mechman is concerned, keeping my voltage steady at 13.2 on full tilt. Gotta love Mechman & D4S
As a big singer alts guy, I have a few friends who run mechman alts and I will say they are also built extremely well. Literally the only 2 brands I would ever recommend
I met people who say they know someone who rebuild alternators to be more powerful from the original ones , is that possible because them MechMans are way bigger compared to the rebuilt ones
I have a 2000 bmw 528i with a 120 amp alternator. My audio system is rated at 1500 watts rms “roughly”. 2 amps, 1 1100 rms for subs, and 1 4x 90 for my highs. I don’t have enough alternator! I can’t find any high output bmw alternator online or locally. Do you know anyone who sells high output alternator for bmw or what other options do I have? FYI I want my trunk to be useable
what type of hyundai? you can try power bastards as well. they make custom ones as well as Iraggi. iraggi is a little pricy, but are built to order and have a lifetime warranty.
I go into the warehouse at least twice a month and the people that work there are so friendly and hold real conversations and are genuinely knowledgeable too, I love down 4 sound
Forget mechman my alternator went out twice on my Infiniti the second time was in the warranty period now Iam stuck with it put my stock back on and been running it for years no problem
I've been using "pure power" alternators from Phoenix Arizona. I've bought 3 for 2 different vehicles they always call after the purchase to confirm vehicles, usage, ect. Haven't had any issues and the 2 for the truck are 370s one 240 for the camry. I put over 100 miles on the camry daily thumpin most the time. 3 yrs strong. Mechman is a great alt no doubt about it but over $100 more. Not knockin mechman at all. Put one on my tundra. Just saying there are alternatives,
I bought a Mechman 250A (Yes 250A not 240A) for my Chevy truck and couldnt be happier, that coupled with a XS Power D3400, the truck loves it!~ The original Delco 145A alternator was on the truck for 19 yrs before being replaced!~ Got my alternator within 2 weeks, an it was rated 210A L & 290A H!~
I need help, i have a 2022 lexus and nobody appears to offer a HO Alt for this vehicle. If all an alternator does is supply power then why is nobody offering one to buy???? Can i just buy one for a 2018 model and slap it on my 2022?
Guys I just a mechman 400, but I’ve burnt through my original single run of 0gage wire. How many runs of 0gage do I need for an 8,000 watt system. I burnt through the wires for my amp AND the wires in my big 3
Hey JP I have a 2000 dodge dakota extended cab, with a 4000 watt kicker amp and currently a skar zvx15 I have blown through 3 stock alternators in less then a year. I have the big 3 in double ott. I haven't even hooked up my interior amp yet and I want more bass. What size mech man would work best for me?
@@beatsandwestside it was more so their specific diagnosis. I just know when I put it on my car it would only charge everything to 12.8-13.0.. called Mechman, sent it in, they called and told me what the issue was, they fixed it, now since my original comment I’ve installed and works fine!
I got a 2018 GMC Sierra and got the MM 370 amp. But you gotta get it regulated bc it will mess up. Thats what happened to me. Sent it to MM and they fixed it
@@cuh_2023 na, it was somethin else. I had bought it from D4S and somehow it fried after 2 months of usage. Called MM and they had me sent it back and they fixed it and regulated it. Went from a 2 pin to one pin. Im not too sure how it works. My installer did everything lol
Well thanks just dont wanns start a fire. Im only running 1000 watt amp to some jl audio 10tw3d8 subs not even turned up as far as i can push them but they dim my lights gonna start with big 3 upgrade then move to alternator but might just go with both because i wanna hook more subs up to my amp
Jp, I recently purchased a Mecman 400 Alt from you to run my JP8/JP84 combo with (1) Die Hard platinum AGM as main battery and I recently purchased the DS4 6.0 for the rear. Did I make the correct choice of getting the 400alt?

I wish I would waited for the color one
Whoever invented alternators is my favorite person. I’ll definitely need a 400 amp for my next car system

Does mechman make custom alternators? I don't see Hyundai on their website. Can't find a HO alt for my car anywhere ;(

Where's the big 500 amp they have?
Just got my 320amp Mecman installed.
Their customer service is the best ive ever dealt with and the messenger responses are quick and a real person not automated plus very informative.
Id have to humbly agree with you sir lol
I go into the warehouse at least twice a month and the people that work there are so friendly and hold real conversations and are genuinely knowledgeable too, I love down 4 sound
Love my mechman 370 elites,they're beasties and look great too
Forget mechman my alternator went out twice on my Infiniti the second time was in the warranty period now Iam stuck with it put my stock back on and been running it for years no problem
Now they need to do other cars because I need something besides a battery 🔋🔋🔋
I see people asking this question every day on Facebook. It's simple. Buy a mechman

Why I'm not: mechman doesn't/won't make one for my car
Need alternator for my Nissan plz make them…
So these are better than excessive amperage?
I just ordered 370amp (red), digital voltage controller & hardness for my Tundra 5.7L from you guys after seeing this video before.
Why do you run a lower amperage for your 16v side?
They produce more amperage at lower rpm (idle) than the bigger rated models

YO JP wheres the best place to get a custom altinator bracket for my 2002 Dodge Ram van???? I got the alts I want but I need custom part
I bought 2 off you so far 1 for my escalade and 1 for my chevy s10 pickup truck.
I looked for one but I can't find one for my 04 Chrysler 300m.
Will you guys have a review video on your new Bluetooth speaker? I would like to try to hear it before I purchase
To bad mechman doesn't make one for a 2000 4.6 v8 f150
Very awesome alternator.. but they don't make any for my vehicle
I wish they had a 370 for my 2008 ford expedition.
And if mechman doesnt offer an alt for your make and model vehicle?
You don’t have one for the Ford Ranger with the 4.0
Mechman uses rebuildable cores. They can rebuild them.
Mechman doesn't have nissan :( any alternatives?
Do they make semi truck alternators
Waiting on them to make one for my 2021 ranger 😅
They don’t make any for my car.
Earl af
Wish they made one for my 2011 explorer…….
Which motor?
Hey JP I have a 2000 dodge dakota extended cab, with a 4000 watt kicker amp and currently a skar zvx15 I have blown through 3 stock alternators in less then a year. I have the big 3 in double ott. I haven't even hooked up my interior amp yet and I want more bass. What size mech man would work best for me?
And I have a an extra car audio battery in line as well.
390...400
D4S THE PLUG
Typo in the title
Good catch
@@THELIFEOFPRICE I can’t believe JP just replied to me. I feel famous. Today’s gonna be a good day now
They don’t have any for my vehicle:(
How do I contact live support?
Wish they had one for my year of expedition
Ces or accesive amperage may have one to fit.
💪🏼💪🏼🦍🦍
I got my 240 Mechman from D4S and it was faulty.. sent it right to Mechman and they fixed it.. I have yet to install it again
wat was faulty.?
@@beatsandwestside the rectifier and a few diodes
@@TheKBshow how did u figure it was the rectifier and the diodes.?

@@TheKBshow ok man
I'll go with brand x alternators over mechman anyway. Just my opinion.
How many amp alternator should i get for my 2015 Silverado 1500
It really don't matter get what you think will work
I got a 2018 GMC Sierra and got the MM 370 amp. But you gotta get it regulated bc it will mess up. Thats what happened to me. Sent it to MM and they fixed it
