    Correct. Our units will have the 8mm stud and most of the factory ring terminals on the Fords are 6mm. We provide the proper size lug for the Alt+ stud so all you have to do with our units is open up your factory ring terminal a bit. I had to when I installed on my Ford but it only takes a second. Proper fit of the lugs is critical, improperly sized lugs will cause heat in the stud to damage the unit or will not allow for proper charging. That's why we send them out with the right stuff. Justin- You have an email. Your last one went to spam again for some reason!

    With the 4G alternator in your car you would have required a voltage regulator and adapter harness IF it would fit. There's $100 worth in parts, then the installation. We use factor Ford 6G cases in many of our applications to insure proper fit and function. We install our internals to make it perform to our standard. What the case looks like on the outside has nothing to do with what is inside. As for the Voltage regulator, the white one says "Motorcraft" on it. That's an OEM replacement regulator we use in many applications. The grey regulator we sent to him for his unit is a OEM spec replacement.

    MECHMAN T-SHirts!!!

    Inspired by Henry Ford, that was how he was able to get the cost down on the Model T for the average household to finally be able to afford an automobile.

  7. That unit is only a direct bolt-in to the 2.3 Turbo models older than your car. Email me- [email protected] -with your full application and I will see what we have available for your car. Thanks!
  8. This 1/0 is selling FAST! If you want it place an order NOW to insure you get it from our stock, don't wait for it to be backordered! Super high strand count CCA wire with a very flexible insulation for real clean install and great power delivery. We also have ALL MODELS of their RCA's including the FLO.
  9. Which alternator? You didn't link anything here. Some of the 2.3's will interchange, some will not. You can look it up by your application on www.mechman.com. If it's listed we can build it for your application. Email [email protected] and we can get you a quote for the right unit. We are here Monday-Friday, 8:30a to 6pm Eastern Standard Time. Thanks!
  10. Email me- [email protected] and include the full application, year, make, model and engine and I should be able to sell you the right regulator. Just be careful if you open it up, the cases are machined to fit very tight and can be broken or damaged if not handled properly.

    This is solid advice.

    MECHMAN SUMMER DISCOUNT DEAL!

    The days are ticking away on this deal! Don't miss out on this discount, you never know when we will have an offer like this again.
  13. You should have a ground cable from the alternator housing or mounting bolt to the battery negative on these units, that might be the problem. I generally don't recommend grounding them through the mounting blocks. Your idle speed sounds like it's below the turn-on of the unit, get me the crank pulley size and the alternator pulley size and we can see where we can go from there. Eric

    Shok Industries Power Wire now @ SSA!

    Shok has been out of production on 1/0 OFC for some time now.
  15. You do have a one-year warranty on this unit and we have never backed away from taking care of our customers. Unfortunately we ran into a problem with the fit on Joe's unit, Ford changed designs and we were not aware of the fit issue with the AC compressor. The unit not functioning properly was most likely due to mishandling by the shipping company as every unit we ship is dyno'd before it is boxed. Joe was good enough to clearance the blocks himself so when it came back we cleaned them up, powdercoated them again and clearanced the case on the mill to make things look nice like they should. We work hard to fit units to vehicles that aren't available from other manufacturers and this is one of the problems that we may encounter on a rare occasion. This unit is under the one-year warranty. There is no AVBM as it is PCM controlled. I'm thinking it's simply an idle speed issue at this point and would require a simple pulley swap to correct it entirely. Many new cars idle very low for a variety of reasons, emissions, idle fuel consumption and noise, and it slows the accessories to the point where they can barely function at that speed. 500rpm idle speeds are not uncommon these days, my GMC idles at 550, my BMW at 600, but my Volvo is downright uncivilized at 900.

  17. You should. Yep, that's the guy! This actually took LONGER than usual because we were backed up when this got put on the build list, normally it would have shipped 3 or 4 days ago. Mechman likes ORANGE, Mark gets orange. To hold them in place for shipping and to illustrate to the customer where they should be located in the installation.

You must include a copy of your original invoice to receive warranty service!

For those of you who have a Mechman unit that is out of warranty please remember that we offer discounted rebuild services on all of our Mechman Alternators as well as other brands of high output alternators.
  22. It took long enough to get this one out the door to him, not going to make him wait any longer! Oh, and now we know all of the interference so the next guy will have the best fit available.
