  1. I bought this back in... 2013, from a dealer in McKinney, TX (Dallas) for my 2011 GMC Sierra SLT Crew Cab Z-82 Texas Edition. While I was finishing my 3" rear seat lift, Forward Firing Quad 8" 4.5cu ft NET dual ported box @ 31Hz, mounting my 5 Amps, sealing off every small hole in all 4 doors with 1/8" wood and Dynamat Extreme, my Focal Utopia 6W2 Components, Focal K2p PolyKevlar Comps, etc..... I ended up totalling my 2008 Sierra 5.3l the day before I received the Mechman Alternator. A lady pulled out on the 4 lane highway (speed limit 65mph) + middle turn lane, thinking the stoplight (in the middle of nowhere) was red, but it was green, so I never let off my cruise control, whixh was set to 69mph, 4mph over the speed limit. It was cliche. Everything happened in slow motion. I was just going to slam on my brakes and rear end her, probably giving her a 50/50 chance at surviving or swerve. But I saw a young, 4-8 year old girl in the passenger seat, so I swerved. Unfortunately, I hadn't cleaned off one of my wheel speed sensors, so my VDC wasn't working, so Iserved, thinking my VDC would save me from my sudden jerk of the wheel, but itdidn't, lost the rear end, swerved left initially, then right as my rear end got light, went across I front of her, swerved left and went straight across into a tree and rolled it 4 times. She stopped for a second, never got out and drove off. I had numerous people stop and help me. Most. who saw it, was angry at the car who clearly saw it, a few guys said I should have just ran her over. So anyway... my Mechman G-Series 270a Alternator with the optional $65.00 Billet Aluminum OverDrive Pulley came in the day after I totaled it. The OverDrive Pulley does two things. First, it lightens the unsprung rotational mass, therefore making it much easier to spin which equals more horsepower. 2nd and most important is that it allows much higher output and lower RPM's. I no longer need it as I never purchased another GM vehicle. It just happened that way. I ended up getting a Nissan Armada and now I'm in a 2011 Nissan Titan Pro-4X Crew Cab that I'm lifting 8" in the front & 9" in the rear. I believe I paid $600 total for it as I have the receipt. This fits all GM vehicles from 2004-2014 4.3l, 5.3l, 6.0l, 6.2l and many others such as 3.4l, 3.6l etc.. It fits vehicles with the 2-Pin Alternator Wiring Harness Plug. The alternator I was upgrading was the Optional AC Delco DR44 145a alternator, which is for sale also. Never installed, never mounted, never been inside an engine bay. I do know that the smaller pulley does not require a new belt. I paid $499 + $65 for the Billet Aluminum Overdrive Pulley + $20'ish for Shipping For Sale Price: $400 + Actual UPS Fully Insured ($500) Shipping
  2. Yes it is still available and yes, it will fit GM Trucks and SUV's with the following motors with a 2 pin wiring harness: V-6 4.3L V-8's: 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, & 8.1L motorsFi Fits gas and diesel motors
  3. Here is a more detailed description of the SA-8 V.2 Stock SPL subwoofers explaining the difference and details of the Stock SPL version SA-8 V.2 subs. FOUR Brand New Sundown Audio SA-8 V.2 Stock SPL 8" subwoofers. Sundown Audio makes three different versions of the SA-8 V.2 subs. You have your normal SA-8 V.2 subs, then your pure SPL versions that are meant for burps and competitions and then the more rare of the bunch, the Stock SPL subs. These are not meant for competition, but they have an added Spider and the coil is lighter, made of CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum for the voice coil giving it the ability to run much much higher power. Anywhere from 750-100wrms, maybe even more. I was planning on running 900wrms to each sub with two Audiopipe AP18001D 1800wrms amplifiers. Due to the extra spider and different material for the voice coil, you gain alot of top end, but lose just a tad of bottom end. This is straight from Jacob in his own words. Here is an email copied and pasted by Jacob Fuller to me inquiring more about this particular subwoofer. "The thermal capacity of the coil is pretty much the same as a stock unit -- as I had mentioned below the only difference from your woofer to a stock woofer is that you have a lighter voice coil made from CCAW (copper clad aluminum wire) as opposed to pure copper wire. This shifts the response up a bit. The dedicated SPL unit uses a much different coil and stiffer spider pack and we don't suggest it to be used day to day. As far as the real thermal capacity of the unit -- you can see a graph I did here compared to a popular 2.5" coil driver (the SA-8 uses a 2" coil) : http://www.splbassx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11451"
  4. Yes, check to see if your harness has 2 wires or 4. If you are interested in any of my other equipment, hit me up. I can ask Mechman if they still have a wiring harness adapter if you are have the 4 pin harness. I remember purchasing a couple from them for other vehicles and can't remember if they make one for the GM vehicles Price drop to $420 with free shipping.
  5. I have a BNIB Mechman G Series 270a Alternator for the NNBS trucks. This will fit numerous other vehicles with the 2 pin plug which includes 4.3l, 5.3l, 6.0l and many others. I am just now getting around to posting everything up for sale which I am posting for sale on other GM Truck message boards. Holidays have been hell I am selling it in Brand New Condition with 10% off of the cost straight from Mechman + Free Shipping to the 48 states. So $479 – 10% = $431.10. I will make it an even $430 with Free Shipping. It has its factory warranty as I purchased it from an authorized dealer straight through Mechman. It's been a rough past several months... I was buying everything collectively over the past several months and would have had everything purchased and installed by now except earlier this year, I was rushed to the hospital where I was hospitalized for 3 weeks and had to have major abdominal surgery which took me a couple of months to recover from. I then resumed purchasing everything, but never got a chance to install. I totaled the truck in a rollover accident in late August where I had just begun my installation process which included removal of my rear seats, installing the 3" rear lift I assembled together, installed my 40 section of my 40/60 rear seats, installed my Dynamat, painted and mounted my amp rack backplate, ran one of my 1/0awg OFC power wire and was in the process of running my second run of 1/0awg power wire and had just built my fiberglass QUAD 8” 3.0 cuft net forward facing ported box tuned to 31Hz for my brand new 4 Sundown Audio SA-8 V.2 Stock SPL subs. This is how I had my new install planned out, which many of this is for sale. I had everything ready to install my new stereo which includes my 4 Brand New Sundown Audio SA-8 V.2 Stock SPL Model 8” Subwoofers, BNIB Audiopipe AP30001D 3000wrms amplifier, XS D3400 Battery, New Kinetic HC16V 16Volt battery with dual 12v and 16v battery post, my current Focal Utopia 6.5” Components installed in the front doors, my current Focal K2P 6.5” Components with Digital Design T1 silk dome tweeters for a more laid back sound installed in the rear, my current Focal PS 165 Performance 6.5” Components installed in my Q-Logic Kick Panels, New, but not installed yet Audiopipe AQX-360.4 4 channel amp, my currently installed Phoenix Gold Tantrum 500.2, 2 runs of 1/0awg OFC Cadence Cool Wire that I only had 1 run installed, several various distribution power fused and ground blocks and my currently installed JVC KW-NT800HDT 7” TouchScreen Navigation/DVD Unit. I was able to take the stock alternator, various interior plastics, Gorilla Locking Lugnuts, and some other items. I have the factory radio also. All of this is available for sale except the Gorilla Locking Lugnuts if anyone needs it for their NNBS truck. I will eventually begin posting the items, mentioned above, I have for sale soon. I know have a Nissan Armada SE 4x4 so I won’t need any of the factory items and many of the other BNIB Car Audio equipment. I am selling it in Brand New Condition with 10% off of the cost straight from Mechman + Free Shipping to the 48 states. So $479 – 10% = $431.10. I will make it an even $430 with Free Shipping.
