Brushless 36SI Alternator
Delco Remy’s 36SI alternator transfers electrical current between the rotor and stator air-gap, eliminating the need for brushes and resulting in fewer moving parts and less wear items.
The company says most models of the alternator also have Remote Sense, which includes a second wire that 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.
Delco Remy offers three different mounting configurations for its 36SI – a J180 hinge mount, a J180 quad mount and a pad mount. The alternator is designed to handle higher under-hood temperatures through its airflow vents and enhanced field coil design.

Fuel Efficiency Additive
Dipetane Fuel Technology announced results of an SAE J1321 / TMC Type II Fuel Consumption Test that shows “significant and repeatable” improvements in fuel economy, horsepower and engine life. The test was conducted by Claude Travis & Associates, a top independent SAE testing firm.
According to Robert Pond, president of Dipetane USA, “Dipetane Fuel Technology was shown conclusively to improve burn efficiency of petroleum fuels, with resultant improvement in fuel economy, horsepower, exhaust emission, elimination of carbon deposits and engine life. When added to the fuel of a fleet of diesel trucks, they all benefit to varying degrees, depending on the age of the engine and other criteria.”
The company said Dipetane Fuel Technology was tested on three 2004 Cummins ISX engines, and resulted in a 3 percent average fuel economy gain and 13 horsepower increase. Blow-by was reduced by 32 percent. According to Pond the product works even better on older engines.
