Thanks for your input man.. There's another shop that can rebuild me a 150a alternator and make sure that at idle puts out enough for my system. I forgot how much at idle But 150a overall isn't enough for everything. Their price was almost rhe same price as a dc alternator tho. That same shop told me they can build me a perfect 250a but would have to change my pulleys and have mounting brackets and all that. They quoted me way too much tho..

Anyone running dc ? When I called dc they told me its plug n play., no extra mountings or screws needed. Can someone do a review on dc 270 alt for gs3?

Sphan519 needs to replace that tensioner. Looks like a V8 - if it's never been replaced, it probably needs it. Put a new belt on while you're at it.

That tensioner and belt are brand new. I thought it was the tensioner at first too

It seems like mechman has more issues than dc. I just wanna confirm that if I get the dc I won't have to make any changes like a new pulley or any other changes. Just wanna Plug n play
