Re: High output alternator experience

Back in to fix the AC so I thought I'd add wrap this up. More on the AC later. Here's a better pic of the 250A DCpower alternator which bolted right up. The components are all USA made. Nothing...

Re: High output alternator experience

Nice! I went with the 250A XP version for the 6.0 psd. They've been great at answering all my questions except one: when is it going to ship?

Re: High output alternator experience

This is correct. The PSD is not pcm controlled until the 6.4 and 6.7 diesel models.

Peter at SMB said that they order all the vans with the RV package which is a 130A alternator. I think I'm...

Re: High output alternator experience

The stock Ford 110A alternator is part#6C2Z-10346-CA. The service rep told me it was PCM regulated. I checked with Eric and Innovative Diesel who wrote the custom PCM tune that I installed on my...

Re: High output alternator experience

Yeah, as DaveB alluded to I think it's BS. I'm not sure by that's the info they got from calling the "Ford Engineers" on the bat phone whe I inquired about higher-output motorcraft offerings. I'm...

Re: High output alternator experience

Thanks for the info. Makes sense to replace the serpentine belt at the same time? I believe the SPX sold by Nations is made by DCpower which is the manufacturer of the XP alternator I'm...

Re: High output alternator experience

Thanks for the help DaveB. Still running normal but one little flicker on the dash has my antennae up and bad dreams of being stranded somewhere. Everything on the 6.0 needs lots of constant 12.8+...

Re: High output alternator experience
