Description

The Mean Green High Output Alternator is the answer to all of your charging problems as it provides up to 300% more power than stock. This alternator can charge any engine no matter what its' power requirements. Special new castings permit use of stock bracketry and bolt hole locations. Even the stock wiring harness can be used for easy plug in. Designed to outlast and outperform any other unit. Great for use in ambulances, tow trucks, motorhomes or vehicles with off road lights, winches, stereo systems or other power accessories.

The Mean Green Alternator's tool steel rotorshaft is supported at both ends by heavy duty double sealed bearings. Even the heavy duty solid copper starter windings are sealed with high temperature insulation. That's one reason we include a 1 year Warranty at no charge on every alternator. Another is the heat resistant, multi-function integrated regulator which continues to operate even at extreme temperatures.

A word about MG Industries warrantee and Customer service. I ordered this for my '06 Powerstroke and it was DOA. Yeah, installed it correctly, all connections tight, new batteries yet no power output, nothing! I even took it to the local autoparts for testing. They ran it 3 times on their test machine.....nothing, dead! So now I'm thinking great, I spent all this money for the supposed best and it doesn't even work. So, I called MG Industies direct (got the number from XDP) and talked with Paul in Customer service. I explained the problem, the installation and subsequent testing at the shop. He said that's totally weird, we check every unit before it's shipped for performance. Both of us figure it must have been damaged in shipping? Although I will say their packaging is outstanding, all foamed in place in the carton. Nonetheless, he said they would make it right and ship a new one out right away. They would be sending a return shipping label (prepaid) and asked that I send the unit back so they could see what was wrong. REALLY?? They are paying for return shipping and sending me the new one before they even get the returned one? WOW! So, I received the new one today, put it on in about three minutes and it works perfect. So my review here at this point is for how well they guarantee their product. I am amazed, and so glad I chose this unit. I will update later how well it's working over time, but for now I am very very pleased with the results and the company standing behind it's product.

I put this alt on a '07 F-450 which is my service truck. I've got 2 computers in the truck, 1 that runs all the time. Aftermarket interior lighting, lighting in the service bed bays, lighting in the bed, lighting on the outside of the bed, as well as spotlights.. I typically have battery chargers going for power tools, a 400w inverter.. There is a huge demand on the charging system in this truck to say the least. It fried new factory alternators in about 2 months time. They'd be very hot to the touch as expected.. Bought this alt hoping it would be up to the task, and it works great. It's been on the truck for about 6 months.. I dont have to put the truck on high idle for it to keep up like I did the factory alternators, voltage is steady as a rock ( for what the PCM is commanding it to do anyways ). Stays cool to the touch. I couldnt be happier with it, even if by chance it failed tomorrow, I'd buy another one. I've got 3 other trucks, which are just standard trucks, but have winches, spotlights etc etc, when they fail I intend to install this alt. The price is just a tad higher than a new one from the dealership, but it's well worth it. The physical size, the weight of it is the first thing you notice.. It's not a piece of junk, if it was even in the slightest, it wouldnt have gotten a good review.

Questions and Answers

Will this alternator work on my truck? 2006 Ford XLT 2wd A/C 6.0 Powerstroke. Single Alternator
View Staff Answer 
Answer

This is designed to be the direct replacement upgrade of your OEM Ford Single Alternator equipped 06-07 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke trucks.

Currently with my stock alternator I get 12-13.5 volts what will I get with this one?
View Staff Answer 
Answer

The Mean Green High Output Alternator 8478 would increase your overall amperage, but not your voltage. A good rule of thumb is that more amps are not harmful, but more voltage is. If you look at electrical power like water, amperage is equivalent to the volume of water, and voltage is equivalent to water pressure. More amperage is like having a larger pool of water to draw from. The max amps from your stock alternator is 110. The Mean Green alternator will operate a 110 amps idle – 220 amps running.

What is the amp output at idle on the Mean Green High Output alternator 8478?

Answer
The Mean Green High Output Alternator 8478 offers 110 amps at idle and 220 amps max.
