PUMP IT UP!!!!

Our Tech Article for this issue of the Danchuk Update answers a question that we get from our customers almost every day. “How hard is it to change over my stock generator to an alternator?” It sounds intimidating, but it really isn’t. With a couple of hand tools and the ability to follow directions you can do the job in an afternoon. We will be using American Autowire conversion harnesses and one of the new Powermaster alternators that look like, and bolt in place of, your original generator. The “PowerGen” alternators make the conversion almost as straight forward as changing out the existing generator, they will work for both V-8 and 6 cylinder applications and it looks stock when you are done to boot. We will also cover the use of a Delco alternator, as this is the most common alternator used in this conversion.

Let’s face it. An alternator that puts out 70 amps or more compared to your 35 amp generator system will charge your battery better, keep your headlights brighter and allow you to run all those neat accessories that generators just don’t have the juice for, like a nice stereo or A/C. So follow along as we show you how easy and clean this conversion can be….
