Excessive Amperage Alts?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I was looking into getting a 200A alt for my 2004 Durango from them and i just wanted to hear some opinions about their alts. Are they any good/reliable? Do they do rated amperage? If they are not good alts somebody point in the right direction to get a good alt for my truck. So can someone tell me if they are a good company to buy from or will i end up getting screwed.

I love my EA 250a alt. Works great. I have tested it...~105a @ idle and ~260 @ 2500rpm.

just installed me 250 amp EA alt about 10 minutes ago. it seems to work but i've only ran it about 20 minutes.

i also have to mention this is the third alt from excessive because the 2 before were junk. originally ordered it in august, it's now febuary and i finally have a working alt. (it seems to work as i have only tested it for 20 minutes with no amps hooked up) is excessive reliable? imo no. is nathan a friendly guy to talk to on the phone? sure. does he hold his promises? no not to me atleast. would i buy from excessive again? no. where would i buy another HO alt? http://www.mean-green.com

well my EA alt seems to be acting goofy on me. the voltage is all over the place between 13 and 14.4 and it makes a little howling noise. i'm afraid to drive my car now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Howling noise is a dirty bearing, loose bearing, or some sort of notch or spot on the rotor shaft.

how do i go about correcting that?

 

[Tirefryr 10+ year member]

YOu'll have to pull the alt down and find the source of the noise. It could also be fan related, but the bearings are the most common for the howling noises, or excessive rotor speed.

is it something i should be worried about? it is a very faint howl. it tends to get louder if i accelerate

 

[Tirefryr 10+ year member]

Maybe, maybe not. Only time can tell. I've seen some bearing failures result in little to no damage, and some where the actual needles have been welded to the shaft.
