Converting an alternator question

[Mr_Gonzalez]

I was wondering if I can change my 2 pin alt. to a 4 pin alt. So I can change my voltage on the fly
My factory alt. went out a few days ago
I was looking into a mechman 370 amp but I want change my voltage but I havnt found anything that can do it with a 2 pin alt.
I have 2005 GMC Yukon Denali XL
I wanna do dual alt. bracket and also be able change voltage inside my truck
Can I convert my 2 pin plug to a 4 pin plug ??
Thanks for any and all help !!

I haven't seen a 2 to 4 pin conversion on these trucks. When I got my DC Power alt, they suggested I go with independent systems. OEM alt for my truck and a 300A for my audio...each with its own battery bank and all that jazz. I ended up going with a single 300 SPX from them.

Mechman and DC are my two top choices

If you can wait, go DC. Im lucky cuz DC is like 15 mins from me...I walked in, paid cash and had my alt in 5 days

How did they want you to run an independent system??

u run the dual alt brackets and the oem one hooks up to ur oem charging system. then they set u up with an external voltage regulator and their wiring kit to turn the alt on and off.

What does your dual alternator kit come with?
◦Dual alternator mounting bracket
◦OEM GM idler pulley for the best serpentine belt life. Our competitors use alternator bearings which can cause extreme heat and destroy serpentine belts.
◦Gates Green Stripe serpentine belt.
◦ALL mounting hardware needed to install the bracket and alternator to the vehicle.
◦An alternator excitation harness to turn on the secondary alternator, and this kit will not cause any check engine codes/charging lights

Oh okay I seen that but I don't big bulky thing under my hood
If I were to go that route then I would switch my system to 14 volt setup and I do triple alt
One 12v and two 14v alts
