    so I need some help. I bought a 250A alt from DB electric for my truck. when it came it had a spec sheet with a max output of 167A and when the pulley spun the internals rubbed. So I call them and ask about these issues, their reply: Sometimes when a warehouse needs a 250 they take a smaller case and put different internals to bump it to 250. Ok fine, but why does it rub? sometimes with the very tight clearance it could have been bonked around, but when installed it should even out and be fine.

    I took it to an alternator place to get tested, it was bad. the rubbing: didnt allow current to flow, they couldnt even spool it up enough to get readings.

    so I get them to send me a new one. Its nothing like the first one I got, heres the differences, the new new one is on the left, first one on the right:

    except in this, the new is on top. different pulley ends, same size though

    different front cases:

    this one the new new alt is on the right, the bolt holes are grinded flush, the other they are raised up slightly

    heres the BIG difference: new new on the right. power bolt has a cover, misc mount hole on the top,

    so can anyone tell me if my new new one is the right one?

    I don't see why it won't work. The new one is probably a universal to fit more vehicles. The casings are all casted so the tolerances for them are large to begin with.
