thinking about getting the 370amp for my 95 gmc and wonder if any has two cents on them ...good.... bad?

I don't own one YET... But it's on my list. Thinking of the same one for my red truck. I've done quite a bit of research and from what I can tell they're the best on the market right now. Iraggi used to be reputable as well but they seem to have dropped off in quality, and subsequently dropped off the face of the earth. Ohio Generators are decent, I'm running one now. Nowhere near the idle amperage that I really need, though. Can't remember what it was exactly.

EDIT - Iraggi is still around, apparently. No idea what their quality is like nowadays though.

all I can find on dc power is "don't give your them money" they have a poor sense of what a paying customer expects....

Really? See thats exactly what I remember reading about Iraggi. Maybe things have changed since I did my research.

I'm running a Mechman right now and am really happy with it.

I have a 200 amp DC for 2 yrs and so far no problem. Don't run a lot of accessories tho. Lights and winch. Customer service was great, explained what I should and should not do. Would buy again.

Don't get a mechman. This guy had a terrible experience with their customer service (though once they fixed the product under warranty it worked fine, but who knows how long!)

I got a real good deal from a local shop for two 220 amp alternators ...found out my problem was the battery isolators, they caused a voltage drop of almost a 1volt per side. I run 4 batteries and 2 isolators...and massive amounts of draw, so the alternators couldn't keep up...changing out the isolators to 500 amp relays, should do the trick
