Another super clear explanation of a complex maintenance task. Still hoping you get round to a drum to disc conversion

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hopefully at some point 👍

[@TristanEsWhy]

The long awaited and highly anticipated alt upgrade. Thanks heaps for doing all us dmax owners a favour by doing this for us 😂

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Been a bit hectic 😂🏃‍♂️

Another quality video Adam, thanks

[@steve_3134]

Hope that JAS is better then one I had previously. Only lasted 13 months. Won't use them again. Do hope you have better luck however.

[@PeteSmith114]

@videoShowmehow Your main connection at the battery should have gone to the terminal closest to the battery terminal. The 170A mega fuse you installed was to replace the 120A fuse in the terminal. Hense you should not have reconnected to the fuse side as the 120A fuse is not big enough when the alternator is at full current output and will blow. Great install video as always.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Will have a look cheers

[@PeteSmith114]

@@VideoShowMeHow so did you have a look?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

@PeteSmith114 Sorry mate missed coming back to this - yep as you say, connect to the right side, not the fused left

[@PeteSmith114]

@@VideoShowMeHow I fitted mine over the weekend, to my 23 BT50, your install video was a great help. Another thing I noticed was that the supplied positive cabling was much larger gauge than existing (as expected). The existing negative cabling was larger gauge than the upgraded supplied cabling (down to the motor), It was similar size to the new positive cable. I upgraded the positive cabling and the negative to the frame and left the one to the motor as is.

[@davidrobinson990]

@@PeteSmith114I think the negative cable is supposed to piggyback with the factory cable, not replace it. That’s what the instructions mentioned anyway. Cheers

Mein, how can we get some of these car accessories to Belize!! This is great!!

[@rustyh2007]

Another great video I have followed many of your excellent videos in upgrading my D-MAX. It appears that the D-Max is built for a price point, eg Tyres, Alternator, Battery, Suspension all upgraded. This explains why after a day's driving my 400Ah caravan batteries were still not charged thru the 50A DC2DC charger. What is the torque on the alternator pulley ?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

I think it's like any new car like this these days, it's built for that warranty period, as soon as you take it out of its comfort zone it will do it, but like any aftermarket there's better options for components out there

[@jarradmcdonald2895]

Have you struggled at all with the 90A? That's a pretty decent output really. Especially when JAS alternators are junk

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep 90 ain't enough, bugger all headroom when you're running some gear and like I said in the video have a 50 amp dc-dc to install

[@jarradmcdonald2895]

@@VideoShowMeHow interesting. I'm running a 40a dcdc to charge my 200ah lithium and running a lot of gear with no issues. It's not like your engine needs a lot of amps.

[@kanev12]

Hey mate for a while now sometimes if I dont drive the ute for a couple of days the starter batt can be dead flat. Ive never worked out why, this morning it was as flat as could be, central locking wouldnt even work no dash lights nothing. Have you had or heard or any similar issue? Or common parasidic volt drains? Alt upgrade might be on the cards to help charge as I have 200ah via bddc 1225d but wondering if that might fix both issues? Cheers Kane

[@VideoShowMeHow]

@@kanev12 hi, yes these have a bit of a drain when parked (like most new cars these days), if running a DCDC it may be the case that your starter battery isn't being fully charged as the factory alternator may not be being able to keep up. I'd start by checking the starter battery health

[@poodletarmac3274]

Hi Adam, any reason why you didn't fit the Jaylec 240 amp alternator rather than the one you did. Or why did you choose this one?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Basically because of amps, going that big means pretty fat cable etc, and I just don't need that big, need space 50 amp dc-dc so anything above that is a waste

[@BullysBT]

Hi Adam, what battery are you using in the front. And is there a video on it or mods to fit

[@VideoShowMeHow]

It's a century overlander, no vid for that one

[@mikejk9625]

Hello, when you installed your rugged ridge hood latches on your Wrangler JK did they hold up? Did you have any issues with them and did you ever have to tighten them up? I heard one person say they failed and it smashed the windshield, I don’t know if that is true or not.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hi, no didn't have any issues, they were good

[@James_Bram]

Just curious are you a mechanic by trade? Because you sure do know a lot about cars

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Almost all of the info is out there, just gotta do the research :)

[@MarcRademacher]

Does it fit the 1,9 163hp as well?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Unsure, best contact manufacturer or APC

[@shane2663]

Hi Adam I run a 200ah lithium dual battery and I have been getting "Power Management" error messages when i run my compressor could it be that i need to upgrade my alternator?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hmm possibly, am unfamiliar with that error, I'd check the manual

[@Matt36788]

Does it put out constant voltage or is it still a "smart alternator"?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

This one is 'smart' so will alternate (pun 100% intended 😂) based on voltage needed

[@willalexander6834]

At around 14min he says it is a smart alternator.

[@garypriddin9949]

Will this alternator fit the previous model?

[@1800dontcare]

Probably been asked.. What battery is it what model?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Century overlander

[@1800dontcare]

@@VideoShowMeHow cheers! what is the model number? Looking Century website it doesn't give this as an option

[@1800dontcare]

@@VideoShowMeHowwhat is the length of the bolt you used with the factory holes as the ones that come with originally are too short argh 😫

Another great vid.. No mention that I put it together and sent it to you though, Quite disappointed.. 🤣🙃

😉

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Is an interesting how to this one, for the average person think it's a classic example of 'nup no way I could do that DIY' but once you see it done and have a bit of a (hopefully helpful 😀) guide most people would be able to successfully complete 👍
