What do you mean higher quality? How is Motor City any less quality then those others?

Justin, motor city sells there alt's on ebay for alot cheaper then the ones on thier site, are the ones on ebay lesser quailty?

get an excessive and get a motor city reman put them side by side pull them apart and look i have done this and i know u wont take my word for it so just do it.

Well if you have already done this provide us with some pictures please.

I can say with confidence that the Motor City Reman alternators do exactly as they claim. I believe in them and my sources.

Now trying to compare two different alternators made to different specs is pointless.

Bill, don't bullshit me, man. You have not purchased a MCR alternatorand taken it apart and compared it to any other alternator... please don't make shit up. I'm friends with the owner and I can find out if you ever did even buy one, so don't bullshit me. Their alternators do exactly as they say they do.

High Society, they are the same as on their site, just cheaper for eBay :)

I'm friends with the owner

Does that mean you can get me a free HO alt for my truck J? I'll buy something off you if you do :)

ok i didnt take them apart myself but excessive did. and he informed me of the comparison im not bashing the company at all they do have good alts but they cant always make the amperage that excessive can. the highest mcr could do for me when i checked was 180 and excessive can do a 275. now i guess i was wrong in saying that i did the test but i work closely with excessive so i feel as though im part of there team. again i have nothing against mcr i just feel excessive is better. if you feel so inclined prove to me how mcr is better than excessive.

Eh the great debate

MCR uses cores from the alts the vehicle comes out of. If someone has a direct blolt in replacement, chances are they are using a buy back core case.

Some alternators are limited due to size. If its a small tight fit its hard to add the needed wiring/componets to make a higher amperage. Could it be done, probably. Could it have more problems that usual, makes logical sense.

MCR is good for a relatively cheap in comparison to other alternator providers like Ohio Gen, Iraggi or Excessive. I will say they are not all that and a bag of chips, but for the money its a wise investment.

do you realise companies will ALWAYS claim their product to be better, no matter what, right? I highly doubt excessive has even heard of the tiny operation that is Motor City reman, let alone tested one of their units.

get on aim... i have some info you need to know... and yes i realize this...
