The Nations Starter Alternator TAD-270 XP series alternator fits all 1999-2003 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups with the 7.3L V8 Powerstroke Diesel engine. It is the most extreme alternator we build, featuring bleeding edge patented technology. It is hands down the meanest replacement alternator for the underpowered stock F-Series charging system and has no trouble handling high current demand accessories such as: extra lighting, snow plows, winches, high performance car audio systems, inverters, and televisions.

The Problem:

The original 6G Ford alternator that came with the vehicle was rated at 110 amps. However, this alternator only provides 60 amps at idle which creates an astronomical strain on the electrical system at start up. On a cold start, the glow plugs pull over 150 amps of current until the vehicle is at an optimal operating temperature. Ford's alternator provides less than fifty percent of the power needed to run the vehicle on start-up. Due to this, the fate of your trucks reliability rests in your vehicles batteries every single start up.

The Nations Starter Alternator Solution:

The Nations Starter Alternator 270 Amp XP series alternator allows for the vehicle to have 180+ amps at idle versus the Ford's 60 amps, which will adequately provide your vehicle with three times more power it needs most where the stock alternator couldn’t. At cruising speeds, the alternator will provide 270 amps of current for accessories you may want to run in your vehicle. Our alternators aren't just overwound stock Ford alternator casings rebadged as "high output" alternators. Instead of following the competition and trying to squeeze blood out of a stone, we engineered our own large case alternator that weighs an incredible 6 pounds heavier than the stock Ford alternator. Unlike the 6G Ford alternator, our special TAD XP series alternator is capable of safely producing large amounts of current for long periods of time without failure for increased peace of mind.
