Help on Choosing the Right Delco Remy Type CS144 Alternator

Difference between the dual and single rectifier alternators. Single rectifier is less reliable and cannot produce as much, but it is also cheaper and can fit in more applications. Dual rectifier has higher output and reliability, but is more expensive and takes up more room, limiting applications. The single rectifier may be given more reliability with the addition of a quicktifier remote rectifier system. There are also three common mounting styles the GM commonly uses a 2 foot 2 inch mount, some use the 6-12 mount, and '96-'01 3.8 liter v6 using the CS-130D type alternator use a third stretched foot mount shown below.

This mount is commonly used on '96-'01 3.8 liter V6 equipped with the Delco Remy CS130D type alternator.

Stretch Mount

Here we have what is called a two foot two inch mount. It is mainly used on '96 and newer GM vehicles, commonly Chevy trucks and SUVs.

CS144 Dual Rectifier Alternator

Delco Remy CS144 type Dual Rectifier High Output Alternator

The rectifier is the most common cause of alternator failure. It's the only choice for super heavy duty operation. If you are using your alternator to it's extreme, you must have this alterantor! Alternators produce AC current, just like the current from your house wall outlet. Then it uses a bridge rectifier, typically with 6 diodes, to convert the AC current to DC for the battery and vehicles electrical system. With Dual Rectifiers, you get 12 Diodes, which spreads the current load over a much larger area making the alternator twice as durable and twice as efficient at converting the AC current it makes to DC. The many benefits include: less heat build up, less current loss, higher amperage output when hot, more power at idle. Plus, the service duty and life increases substantially. When the rectifier heats up the diodes won't pass as much amperage through them, therefore, the amperage output drops. With our double rectifier alternator you have twice the amperage carrying capacity and double the cooling surface area to keep the diodes cool. This all adds up to... more power, less heat problems and greater reliability.

Delco Remy CS144 type Single Rectifier High Output Alternator and Standard Output Alternator

Single rectifier units can be used to either replace broken units or upgrade from such alternators as the CS130D where space is limited and the CS144 dual rectifier high output alternator may not fit. They also tend to cost less.

Dual Rectifier Kits

Convert your existing Delco Remy CS144 late style alternator to a Dual Rectifier alternator. Delco Remy Type CS144 High Output Alternator Dual Rectifier Kits w/ Quicktifier™ Dual Remote Rectifier System

Our dual rectifier kits use the Quicktifier to increase the life and durability of your alternator. We also provide fully assembled dual rectifier rear cases to convert your existing alternator to a dual rectifier with ease.
