Alternator Voltage Booster

[denalianyone]

A simple and efficient add-on that literally takes a few seconds to install. It helps boost some electrical parts in your truck. Take a look at the link for a better description. http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=517&catid=108

hmmm interesting... could help my voltage drop when i come to a light or stop sign with me being all stock... it almost looks like some wire and 2 connectors kinda cheap lookin lol... im gonna have to try and dig up some more stuff on this...

I ran that on my grand prix for 3 years without any problems. it worked great

Hmmmm...any downside at all to this?

hmm... looks way to simple
I've read about putting diodes inline with the charge wire to raise it some but the alternator isn't controlled by the PCM its controlled internally so I don't see how an inline plug would solve that

I had it for about a week now and no problems. It is not a performance part so I can't really see it affecting anything.

I'm not a fan of "tricking" electronics. To be honest if you having issues throw a smaller Alternator pully on or get a high output alternator. Just my $.02 though

smaller pulley won't get you more voltage it will just increase your idle output
I would stick to the Big III or if you want better voltage take a look at the MLA or PowerMaster VCM both way more expensive than the plug you posted but are purpose made and will get the job done and then some

OP what are you sitting at when you start the truck?

yea i want to hear more first hand experiences with the contraption......looks awesome from what i see

i need an idle increase so im prolly gonna get a smaller pulley for mine as well as the big three... every time i come to a stop my voltage drops to bout 9.5 give or take a lil.... and thats with every accessory off and completely bone stock....


Anyone recommend a good size pulley?
