RE: [DML] DMC's 150amp alternator

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

***Moderator's Note:*** "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away..." This is the allowed rebuttal to the original alternator comment. I now declare "Vendor Wars" to be over.

Even though the DMC public will never know the problems your going to have
with your alternator and there isn't any one at DMC Houston that can support
it doesn't take 5 years to build / copy. I never said anything about
exclusive I'm merrily stating you couldn't come up with an idea of your own
you had to copy and make a look alike of the successful D series I have been
making for 5 years. As mine are made in the US by a US Manufacture also but
are backed by people that know alternators locally and available 24 / 7. Are
Yours?
No, You go home at 5 pm and that's it. 
Copy all you won't, but I already know of one dissatisfied customer that is
complaining about the whine of your 150 and it's going to get worse.
Also, Who was it a few years back that was complaining about the amount of
current generated by my D' series and how it wasn't needed. That was when
you were still wanting to get rid of the Motorola's again on the DMC public.

Your having trouble making an angle drive that will work, The fuel tank
sending unit was a bomb, the head light switch people waited 2 years for is
new defective out of the box, your door struts were leaking and to long and
now your going to take a stab at an alternator. Like I said, lets sit back
an watch.

Many times I won't even respond to such outlandish posts like John's for
the simple reason that when you wrestle with a pig, both get dirty and
only the pig will enjoy it.

We spent a great deal of time and effort with a US alternator
manufacturer to develop an alternator that would meet the low-idle, high
output characteristics similar to the no longer available Motorola
alternator which has proven to be such a good unit over the years.

Our alternators are made in the USA, covered by a full one-year warranty
valid at any of our locations in the US and The Netherlands. Each
alternator is dyno tested, and a copy of the dyno sheet is included with
each alternator.

To think that anyone has a market exclusive on a 150amp alternator for a
DeLorean is absurd. To accuse us of 'copying' his  product is reckless
and inaccurate. However, from someone who uses original DMC part numbers
on knockoff and aftermarket parts to mislead uneducated buyers, it is
not surprising.

Anyone who wishes to discuss any of this further, please email me
directly, or see us at DCS in June!
