Yup.
Replaced/Sent back a dozen in the past year...

New alternators even come with a birthsheet stating that they do DICk at idle... and don't even get near ful output until super high RPM's.

I've got an alterstart alternator in my subaru. It's been good to me.

I love Mean-Green. I was the first person on this site to get a Mean-Green back in the day, and support them highly.

They've treated me very well, and my Mean-Green in my truck has been going strong with absolutely no problems for near 4 years.

Strange, they must have upped their prices since a few years ago. I had a 200 amp alty from them in my Cutlass and only paid a little under 400 bucks for it.

That is craziness!

I've never knew the price of a new HO alt until I read this thread. I found a 210 amp for my Grand Marquis at a local junkyard and paid $14.95! Don't know what brand it is though. Just though I would share that with you all.

I had an Ohio Gen 220amp alt a couple years ago and can vouch for this as well. Idling you could just watch the volts drop more and more each time the bass hit. Went with a Stinger dual 200amp alt setup after that and had no problems, that was a pricey one though. Sounded like a supercharger under full throttle though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
