i dont live on salted roads... i live in charlotte, nc where the roads are salted at most 3-4 times a year. you sold me a BRAND NEW ALT, not a rewind of my alts chasis, explain how it could have been on there since day one?
Day one since you received it from us.

you have a sticker on your shipping boxes that says "attn: this product will only do about 50% of what we have claimed it will do"? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif . nice try.

No, the sticker states how an alternator should be properly tested which no autoparts store manages to do. I can send you a copy. As a matter of fact, I will paste on the bottom of this message..

i have told you time and time again what you need to do to satisfy me. why would i want another alternator that is going to underperform and fail? why would i want you to repair it when i have already been forced to purchase another one that actually works? and not to mention that i dont even have that vehicle anymore. the only thing i have left from it is a POS alternator that i dont even know if it works, because i was **** sure not going to waste any more time or money to install it again and have it fail.

Do you want to send your alternator here so I can take a look at it? I have no problem fixing it.

if you want to satisfy hollis taylor, do what i requested after the first or second time the alternator failed... also follow up with your promises (again, the large case GM that was promised and never delivered), dont sell a product that wont do what you claim, and sell a quality product.

All of our products do what they claim. Its up to the end user to complete their electrical system properly.

you sold a bad alt to the wrong person, and believe me, im not going away any time soon //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif . i was ripped off and im still not happy about it.

Then send it in, I will take care of it. Just like I offered before.

and back to the first part, i did NOT recieve a quality product... i recieved a piece of crap that put out about 10-15 amps more than my stock ford alt, and was about 10-15% as reliable as the stock ford alt was... i wish i had done a bit more research before letting myself get suckered into buying from you, and i wish there had been some one as vocal as i am to express what kind of person you truly are.

and while youre at it dom, why dont you defend your business ethic about communication. your communication was impeccable, up until you recieved my money. after that, it was a god **** miracle to get a hold of you...

Well here we are. Communicating....

Oh ya, here is that sticker. The fonts are a little out of whack due to pasting. Hope its still easy to read.

I was asked the question on a message forum “why can a re-builder or store like Autozone not properly test an alternator? “

I figured this would be a good place to post..

Here was the question

”Dom

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask your explanation of why it is difficult to test alternators and how one can go about getting one properly tested? I know you're busy with work, but your contributions in the electrical arena could greatly help increase the knowledge base on this forum.

Thanks!”

”No problem, I would love to answer this question..”

Here are the main reasons for each party that tries to test an alternator.

Your hometown re-builder.

1. They are just that, a re-builder. They know very little about the ins and outs of an alternator. They just make a bad stock one work again. They also will tell you your crazy when you tell them an alternator can do 200 amps. They don’t understand what they don’t know.

2. When they do test an alternator,(on their bench), they almost always use small alligator clips to the battery post of the alternator…. Probably 8 or 6 gage…. Would you connect your 2000 watt amplifier to your battery this way? I don’t think so.... for obvious reasons.

3.On their bench test, they more than likely will never go over 3500 to 4000 rpm. Don’t freak out, this is alternator rpm, not engine rpm. An alternator should spin at least 3 times faster than your motor. The industry standard for max output is to be tested at 6000 rpm. (Approximately 1500-2000 engine rpm.) 3500-4000 at the alternator is just above idle.

4.When a load is applied, it should be gradual. 75% of the test stations that are common to rebuild shops are either on.... or off when it comes to loads. (typically 300 amps) There is no way to ramp up the load presented to the alternator. When you load an alternator with an instantaneous 300 amps, the regulator does not have time to react and the reading will be substantially lower. It also depends on the type of regulator used. Some vehicles must have a time delay type regulator due to the car either being so new or aftermarket not available yet. When you load the alternator down, you keep going until the voltage level falls to that of the battery. Which is typically 13.0-13.5. This way all current being pulled is being produced by the alternator, not the battery. You then take the current reading off the battery post of the alternator.

Your local "Autozone" or "Advanced"

I have taken my personal vehicle to both of these parts stores just to see why I get so many calls and emails stating "I had my alternator tested and it doesn’t work or only does 20 amps". Both companies are improperly trained in how to test your alternator.

1.The first thing they do is roll out their tester and connect it wrong. They put the current clamp on the battery negative. Why they want to know how much current is going through your negative battery terminal is beyond me..... I personally like to know how much current is coming out the alternator OUTPUT terminal... which is the positive one.

While your sitting there at idle, before the test even begins, the tester is telling you how much current is going through the negative battery terminal. This is how much charging current your battery is pulling. They all confuse this with how much current your alternator is doing at idle. You need to first load the alternator down before you can determine how much current your alternator is capable of producing. Just for example.... I have 3-300 amp alternators on my Suburban. They told me I was doing 55 amps at idle and 168 amps max. He did admit though after seeing under the hood, he didn’t really know anything about setups like mine. I would type more, but I gotta go. If anybody would like some explanation of other issues, let me know.

Hope this post helps.

Thanks, Dominick Iraggi

dom if he does have such a bad product and you have worked on it before... why not just ship him a new one. This looks bad for you not to if his alt is messed up and it wasn't his fault. I think thats the correct thing to do.

Iraggi, can you please reply to my PM, I have no other means of communication! Thanks.

I would if he send the one he has now back. Thats up to him.

well hopefully it's not on his car otherwise this is going to get even more strange!

 

[hoss 5,000+ posts]

i sold the car about two years ago, fixing the alt would do me no good. not to mention the fact that he has had the chance to fix the alt 3 or 4 times now, and he still hasnt been able to provide me with a quality product that is reliable and will do what he claims it will.

years and years ago, after i realized that his product was a piece of junk i asked for a refund, due to me having to swap the alternator out over and over and over again. he refused, and this is the result. a pissed off customer with a loud mouth, congrats dom, this is the result of your bad business ethic //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif . i would be glad to ship the product back once i recieve a refund, but there is no point in fixing it because i A) have absolutly no faith in his products B) have no faith in his business ethic that he will follow through on what he says (this is evident from him saying he will give me a large case GM alt and he never has) C) i dont have the car anymore, and i have since found a reputable source for alternators that absolutly blows away anything i ever recieved from dominick and at a fraction of the cost and D) i requested a refund after about the second or third failure of an alternator that he sent me and he denied me of that. it seems to me that if he had any faith in his product or any moral business ethic he would do what the consumer wanted. instead i was scammed.

and now, back to answer dom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

how in the world could the alt have possibly gotten that corroded in the few short months that it actually worked and was on the car. hell, you LITERALLY had the alternator longer than i did... the area that my school was in is far from what i would consider to be "heavily salted"

and several people tested your alternator, it failed miserably, no ifs ands or buts about it. flat out would not, could not do what you claimed. and as far as sending it back, it has been in the same packaging that you mailed it back to me in a few years ago, because after paying to have the alts swapped nearly 8 times i finally said **** it, and i realized that the product was absolute crap and wasnt worth me wasting the time and effort to put it back on. and like stated above, i would be more than happy to mail it back to you and put this all behind me for a refund of my money, which i have requested several times. its the same with all scams that seem to come on this board though, someone is sold something and it is not like it was described, and the seller is not man enough to make the situation right...

and like i said, me doing this is a direct response to the way you handled the situation. i feel like i was scammed, and i do my best to try and keep anyone else from being scammed by you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've been looking for a High amp alternator for my Escalade, only looking for about 200 amps, there really only seems to be 2 companies to choose from, at least on Ebay, Alterstart and another one I think its Eagle Electric or something like that. They both seem pretty flaky. I've emailed both companies with less than stellar correspondence, it doesn't leave me much confidence in their alternators :-(

I called Alterstart when I was looking for one. They were straight up with me and I haven't had any problems with mine. Had no problem communicating with them by phone.

Dom,

PM sent.

 

[Iraggi Alt's 10+ year member]

Your the one that said your roads were salted alot. Either way.....

Here is what im willing to do...

Send me your alternator and I will replace it with ANY alternator you want. This way you can sell it. Im sure there is someone here or out there who is willing to pay used price for a brand new alternator.

So its up to you. You can let us take care of this for you or you can keep doing what your doing.......which happens to not benefit anyone. You or me.

im not gonna get into this debate too much, but i will only defend the part where hoss said the roads are salted alot.

we sometimes choose words out of thin air while not actually thinking how someone else might interpret them. maybe to him 3-4 times is a lot. but you might interpret "a lot" as being 5x that much.

thats all im gonna say about this...

I'm still waiting for a return email? Iraggi urged me to email him from one of my earlier posts, the only email address I could find was early on in this thread there was his PayPay email address (surely he must check that one) and I'm still waiting for a response.
