Powergain has custom designed a HDP (high density power) alternator for the Pre-2008 FORD vehicle using the 6.0L diesel engine. Powergain’s patented technology combines our unique brushless permanent magnet alternator and a remotely- mounted control box. The control box removes heat from under the hood and controls voltage and current output through our exclusive rectifier and microprocessor. Alternator may be used as primary or dedicated power source separate from the chassis main electrical system.
