To be honest, I contacted the "big" names that the audio industry seemed to push on the masses. Talked with one and they stated they would custom build an alternator for my 2009 Ford Escape Limited because they did not have one in stock at the moment.They had a couple of options for Escapes but none for my model I was thrilled that they were going to custom build from the ground up. Well I ordered and it was a good bit more expensive than the PB alt. I was tracking it getting to me and the day before it was to arrive i started to pain in the butt job of removing the OEM alt. It is at the bottom of the motor and a pain to remove. The next day it arrived. I opened it and it was wrong. Nothing matched in mounting and was quite a bit larger. They did nothing but send a HO alt for a Ford. Did not build me one from the ground up. Just yanked one off the shelf and shipped. Well I sent it back. Reinstalled my OEM and found Power Bastards. Shipping was fast and when it arrived it was a carbon copy of the OEM alt and installed perfectly. Plug in and play The Alt works as claimed and I have not had an issue what so ever. I have confidence in saying to not believe the hype from the audio industry that only xyz alts are the best because it just isn't true. I am glad to have found Power Bastard's and they are now my go to for my vehicles charging needs. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed!

I read reviews all around the web ranging from bad bad to perfect. Those reviews saying stay far far away are completely false and makes me wonder if they have dirty competitors slandering power bastards name. I couldn't be more happy with purchase of 220a alternator for my 2004 Subaru outback h6 3.0 , no more voltage drop and my system is louder and cleaner running 2200 watts rms and not the slightest bit of lights dimming.

One thing I will say tho is my particular alternator I received came with a pulley with only 4 grooves in it and had a width of 18mm while my OEM alternator had 5 grooves and was 22mm width. I didn't notice this at first and shredded my serpentine belt. Luckily I was able to swap pulleys being that they had same diameter and new belt was 30$ so no big deal.

All around great product p.s. looks like they have a diff looking alternator now and pic seems to show a pulley with 5 grooves.

Cheers!

At first I was hesitant on buying from reviews the previous years but I saw the good quality on it and it for sure performs better than a stock one.

I bought this alternator to help reduce the electrical strain from my sound system in my car. Direct fitment same as factory, no additional stuff needed to fit. It works amazingly and keeps my voltage at 14.4v and only allows dips to around 13.5v with a 3000w system with an agm battery. Definitely recommend for anyone who needs more power for any additional stuff. Shipping it came packed nice and safely, definitely packed with care and consideration.

I wanted to extend my full admiration for all the hard work your staff put in to make sure I was able to receive my alternator on time.
There was a 100% complete act of professionalism from Mike the gentlemen I spoke to through chat to get my part overnighted.

My technician was able to install the part and I was able to attend all the events that were on my schedule.

Thank you for all of your help and thank you from the Warrington Ghostbusters!

In short: charging performance is fantastic when idle and running.

Just wanted to thank you again for the help and quick turnaround earlier this fall on the Toyota Pickup alternator. Helped us get a troublesome issue repaired.

You have a favor on the books at Vintage Air, let me know if there is ever something we can help with.

saw ya'll on IG. decided to try it out. imo this is the best alternator you can get. thanks power bastards

Good communicating and prompt service! God job, ya Bastards!

There's some negative reviews out there, but you're going to mostly hear only from the guys that had an issue. I bought this over 3 years ago, it was sitting on the shelf and JUST got around to installing it when my OEM alternator failed this past weekend! It was amazing to have the part needed on-hand and to have the upgraded output +100A over the OEM 150A unit as a result! I knew I was going to be in "uncharted territory" if I had a problem but I wanted to provide my unsolicited feedback and say that it works perfectly, I haven't had a chance to use a clamp meter on it but the voltage is steady as I turned up the stereo and flipped on every heated accessory I had (including a 600w heated windsheild). It was VERY impressive to me!

I just want to say a BIG THANKS to PowerBastards High Output Alternators. Another company made me a 250amp and it came built with the plug on the wrong side and ghosted me🙄 Their loss. I'll be going with you guys for all Alternators going forward.🫡

This unit works great to run my 50a DC-DC charger for the lithium batteries in my travel trailer! Even charges the trailer batteries at idle.

We have had no issue with their alternators ever they work excellent better than any other ones we have ever used on the party buses in limousine mini buses. Absolutely the best quality out there. I have no affiliation to this company. I just got tired of dealing with the crap from O’Reillys and AutoZone and the dealerships that had a high failure, rate.

Bolted right up, and with a big 3 upgrade it handles my skar up 2000.1 and 2 svr 12s. Great price too

Stick with these guys. Super expertise and Veteran owned!

Just got the 370 amp and big 3 installed in my 13 f250 6.2 flex. No more amp drop when the bass hits... love it great product easy install.

Im shocked. I just got it in today and it took about a hour to remove the OEM alternator, and install this beast. I know everyone has experienced the "headlight dim" as the bass hits. Especially the old school high current cheater amps from the early 2000s. I needed the extra juice. I added inverters and about 1600 watts in my stereo. So this was a must. I changed the factory power and ground to 1/0 awg ofc wire. Used loom the protect the wires. No need for a smaller serpentine belt. Thats is pretty frigging awesome. My only gripe is not getting a powder coating. Being cheap . Although its not necessary. I wish I got it in a powder coat just for the protection here in the north east . . Everyone who needs a good powerful electrical system in their vehicles SHOULD GET THIS. If anyone runs a bunch of high amp accessories . You cant beat 320 amps at about 1800rpms ! ! in my jeep. A little more than idle. The meter don't lie. I was getting 290 to 325 as I played with the gas pedal with taps. Just parked. Crazy .

Easy install. Plug & play on 2013 Veloster base. Stock alternator kept 14.2 volts on startup. Now upon startup/warming up car I'm sitting at 14.7 volts. Amperage says "220". So far seems fine. This should go well with a second identical battery eventually for a quality 2000 watt sound system. 3 days so far, everyday driver.
