All i can say is WOW what a change. The dual alternator set up has no problem keeping up with the draw form the fans and my lights. Now i can finnaly mount my bush bumper with my other 4 big lights
And the new tow mirrors work great I can see so much more when im pullin my trailer. I highly recommend both of these mods. Building the brackets we pretty easy i just used some angle iron that was laying around the shop and got luck not even having to buy a different belt. The stock one works just fine. And i added a second bracket in the back for extra support.

Sure does look nice! How about a picture of the viewing face?
Do you log your mileage data? Curious if the dual alts will knock off a full MPG or not.

That's a nice looking rig you have. Glad to see you were able to get the dual alts hooked up and working.

How did you wire up the plug for the dmax alternator??? i want to do the same thing to mne if i can get a hold of one for cheap, just need to know how the plug harness gets wired up. thank you

Easy there is olny like 2 wires. It's olny for the senser I believe. Then you hook up the positive to what ever battery u want it on. I have one alternator for each battery on my truck. The tricky part is lining up all the pullies to keep the belt from walkin off.

Oh and the 2 wires get spliced into the stock alternator harness

I dont think you need to hook those wires up at all. The unit is self regulating. the wires that come out of it are not for running the alternator, they are for the tachometer.

Yeah they are just for the senser, I figured i would put em in just to see what the guage is reading on the dash. It forsure changed.

One of the wires is for the tach, so you shouldnt splice that one in as they have different pulley sizes and windings sizes. Try removing both splices and see if your voltmeter insided still maintains the same higher voltage.
Did the Dmax even use that other wire for tach?
