Product Description
If you are putting the 5.9 Diesel powerplant into a vehicle not wired or equipped for it, this is your answer - no external regulator, no wiring, no PCM, just the main power feed wire.
If you are replacing the stock alternator on your 1989-2002 Dodge Ram pickup with the 5.9 Diesel Cummins; this unit will eliminate the external regulator (or PCM) Note: when replacing the stock alternator on a factory equipped truck the check charging system/check engine light may illuminate as the PCM will be looking for a signal that no longer exists but does not affect charge voltage.
This unit and has a maximum output of 160+Amps, will produce between 80A to 90A at idle depending on whether the engine is gas or diesel and shaft speeds. This unit has our lifetime warranty.
We build Premium quality battery and crossover cables for this vehicle. The main battery charge cable options are complete cables with 200amp fuse to connect the new alternator to the main battery. The stock cable is known to be weak and under-sized, limiting the power and efficiency of the new alternator. If you want a different length email or call us, we have other options to substitute for you. The crossover cable is made to connect the B+ on dual batteries and is 80" long. The stock crossover cable is a known problem, and this resolves unequal charging dual batteries. Most customers report that in stock trucks one battery is under-charging, and the other is boiling and over-charging. Replace your crossover cable to resolve this. Using both premium cables will ensure maximum charge and efficiency with the new PA alternator.
Applications: 1989-2002 Dodge Ram with a 5.9L Cummins and anything with a 5.9 Cummins transplant

We offer an optional W-Terminal or TACH pickup wire to this alternator. This option is only available on these “SE” Denso / dodge alternators that eliminate the PCM. When you select this option, we will provide a tach lead for connection to a diesel specific aftermarket tach. This is only available at the time of assembly and older units are not physically eligible for retrofit. The connection is simple, the wire is provided by us but does not need to be used if no tach is intended. This will not work with factory equipped tachometers or ignition-based tachometers, only a stator signal tachometer. The rotor has 12 poles, some calibration instructions ask this (tach shown is not included)
Tach image shown for illustration only, we do not sell tach or any gauges.

Best Cummins Alternator
Best and easiest fix for 1st Gen Cummins charging issues. One wire and your charging. No voltage regulator, wiring or ecm problems to chase. Just hook up n go. Charges 14.7 volts at idle and 14.7 volts wide open. Dont buy another voltage regulator, buy this alternator!

saved my pickups life
Been fighting burning up regulators and many other issues for 3 years on 91 w250. Was just fixing to sell the pickup when heard about this alternator an figured I'd give it a try. Not only does it charge great, it isn't boiling my battery, all my lights started working, speedometer works again and so do power steering and brakes. I know no relation there but im so happy I'll just go ahead and give credit to this fine alternator. Thanks a million.

one wire alternator
I have a 12 valve swapped 2004 Dodge Ram 3500. The previous owner had a low power GM one wire in it that finally stopped working. I received this alternator and bolted it right up and it works flawlessly! I'd recommend this to anyone that has a cummins swap.

Easy to install
The charging volts are higher than I would like, wished it had a adjustable charging volts.
