A 12 and 14 volt alternator are the same thing. Alternators need to produce more than 12 volts if they are going to be used in a 12 volt battery system. The actual voltage regulator set-point is typically between 14.1 and 14.8 volts and that is why an alternator may be referred to as a 14 volt alternator instead of a 12 volt alternator. The battery bank needs to receive 14+ volts in order to maintain its charge.
The same rules apply for a 24 volt system. The actual voltage regulator set-point is typically between 28.1 and 28.6 volts and that is why an alternator may be referred to as a 28 volt alternator instead of a 24 volt alternator. The battery needs to receive 28+ volts in order to maintain its charge.

That depends on whether you are looking for 12, 24, 36, or 48 volt alternators. I am only going to speak to 12 and 24 volt as they are the most popular.
For 12 volt alternators the highest output produced by Delco Remy is the 300 Amp 40SI. It comes in a Pad Mount part #8600298, J-180 short hinge #8600299 and J-180 Long hinge #8600300. The highest 12 volt produced by Prestolite Leece-Neville is the J-180 mount 4890JB and Pad Mount 4962PA both of which put out 320 amps.
When it comes to 24 volt alternators there are two manufacturers that really stand out – EMP has a 450 Amp ‘Power 450 Alternator’ and C.E. Niehoff has their 500 Amp C-803D.
There are many more to choose from but I decided to highlight these few select ones. The only thing to keep in mind when choosing that ‘High-Output’ alternator:
Higher Output = More $$$.

The easiest way to determine whether your starter rotates clockwise or counterclockwise is to look at the starter pinion. You need to look at the pinion at the end that comes into contact with the ring gear or the end that is furthest from the starter body. From this view at 12 o’clock, what side of the teeth is the chamfer on? If the chamfer is on the right side then you have a starter that rotates counterclockwise and if it is on the left side you have a starter that rotates clockwise.

The answer is No! There is a J180 short hinge mount and a J180 long hinge mount. The short hinge is what you would find on Delco alternators and the long hinge is what you would find on Prestolite Leece-Neville alternators. To determine whether you have a Delco short hinge mount or Prestolite Leece-Neville long hinge mount alternator, measure the distance between the bolt holes on the front frame of the alternator. If the distance is 7.79” (198mm) it is Delco and if the distance is 8.50” (216mm) it is Prestolite Leece-Neville. If your engine has a fixed mounting you must replace the alternator like for like. If your engine has an adjustable bracket then usually the Delco can be replaced with a Prestolite Leece-Neville and vice versa.

We have received many inquiries for starters for the Dynahoe. We have been able to determine that the Elreg starter part# 37-1013 can be used in the Dynahoe 190 fitted with a Detroit 353 diesel engine if modifications are made to the motor mount. It’s a tight fit.
Elreg repair kit #211-1120 can be used to repair the old original Dynahoe starter. If the original starter has a 12 tooth clockwise positork drive the Elreg replacement part number is 205-482. This works on the Dynahoe 140 also fitted with the Detroit 353 diesel engine.

Prestolite/Leece-Neville is energized to announce the launch of the 210 and 240 AMP AVI alternators. The AVI sets itself apart from the competition at first glance with its black E-coating, which provides maximum corrosion resistance. The attention to detail doesn’t stop with E-coating though. Internally the AVI boasts such features as heavy front/rear bearings, heavy duty 12 diode rectification, state of the art rotor design, 125C temperature rating, and remote sense capability.
Originally introduced in the 230 AMP T-mount design for many Ford applications, the AVI design quickly gained a powerful reputation as a highly reliable alternator for applications with high current demands. The AVI160T2002-2 fits most Pre-2008 Ford applications. Couple the AVI T-mount with our proven experience as the major supplier of high amperage products and it is no surprise that many customers anticipated the launch of the AVI in both J180 and Pad mount. The AVI160J2008 J180 mount & AVI160P2007 Pad mount are both rated at 210 amps. The AVI160J2004 J180 mount & AVI160P2003 Pad mount are both rated at 240 amps.

A Remote Sense Alternator prolongs battery life by ensuring that the batteries are kept fully charged. Due to many factors the voltage from the alternator drops by the time it gets to the battery. Just because the alternator is sending 14 volts doesn’t mean that the batteries are receiving 14 volts. With remote sense, a second wire reads the actual voltage at the battery, that’s coming from the alternator. It signals the alternator to boost its output to compensate for voltage drop and ensure that the batteries are getting 14 volts. This can reduce your battery charge time by 50%.

Elreg is the exclusive distributor for the OEM MP-Pumps part# 33670
in North America. This pump replaces the Rotron Brand pump at a much more economical price. This pump operates on a 24 volt system and is rotor-less, brushless and seal-less. The brushless design ensures that the motor runs longer. Seal-less helps to eliminate potential fluid leaks as there are no gaskets or seals to dry out or fail.

Elreg supplies a complete line of 39MT replacement starters that have a rotatable housing so that fewer skews will provide you with a broader line of coverage. That means you need to carry less inventory to service your customers. Whether you require 12 or 24 volt, 11 or 12 tooth small or large pinions they all come with over-crank protection and an integrated relay switch. All that has to be done to re-clock the starter is to remove 6 of the drive-end M6 Allen Key mounting bolts, rotate the drive-end to the desired position without removing it and then reinstalling the 6 mounting bolts. It’s that easy.
