Bad stock. Faulty regulator

The alternator has a faulty bearing which squeaks intermittently. The alternator charges normally, but has a poor internal ground path that returns voltage from the battery through the vehicle, even when the ignition is off. It acts like a capacitor, slowly charging up and turning the fans on even when the key is off. Of course, Revain's return window has expired by 2 days. Garbage. Contact Revain to resolve the issue. The voltage regulator terminals in the alternator are WIRED TOGETHER, unlike

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Replacement available

So far, so good. Looks great and serves its purpose.

Great value generator. I even bought a spare just in case. Better not to find a 110 amp for this money (although mine was tested at 114). Looks great and is almost twice the price. The only issue I had was that it is threaded and my screw was slightly larger. I just put the generator in the drill press and took out the thread grooves. Now the screw goes in and sits nicely. I highly recommend this generator. Buy extra as spare part!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Lots

DO NOT BUY! alternator compatible

You might be lucky and get a working one but apparently no quality control or testing is done before shipment. When I first opened the package and spun the roller, the resistance seemed uneven, but there was no real sticking or noise. When I received it on the car, be careful! Shake the entire engine hard enough to let the fan hit the fairing. The alternator itself squeaked loudly, and when I immediately shut the engine off, the pulley was almost too hot to touch. Obviously bad or misaligned…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Has some imperfections

We were very satisfied that I worked well without it.

I took a risk with the purchase because my husband was worried about the quality of the generator. He bought it from the Summit store and all the chrome started falling off as soon as he started installing it. This one was half the price, and it was the first thing that stopped him from buying it. Upon receipt and installation, we were very pleased that everything worked fine for me with no chrome shavings. He still brags about it and shows it to everyone who comes. Alternator DB Electrical…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Installed on 3600 miles POWER TOUR 2015!

Converted my 1970 Buick Skylark into a wired version. Installed this on a stock Buick 350 while installing a distribution point conversion. I did this 3 days before leaving for the 2015 Power Tour. The round trip was 3600 miles in 10 days from Northern Wisconsin to New Orleans and back. I'm happy to say that this generator rose to the challenge. The car may be old but with a laptop, CB, 3 cell phones and a modern radio drawing power every time the drive is delayed this alternator didn't let me…

Pros
  • Best

  • Appearance

Worked well but not for long

Installed in my '68 Cadillac. I wanted to basically eliminate the stock externally regulated alternator and add a few extra amps to the game. The car has air suspension and runs on two 200 psi compressors. The generator was a welcome addition. The compressors did not freeze, the headlights burn brightly, the turn signals constantly flash. It was wonderful. for some time. The alternator still runs great as long as I'm above idle. Circuit open circuit error. I don't normally write negative…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No effect
