Powermaster went thru a reorg/buy-out or something, there were a few years there where they were junk. I had problems with them.

At some point I was talking to someone at Powermaster and they said they did an overhaul of their' process and are again quality-oriented, so decided to try one. Have had very good service out of them lately.

There are specific ones you have to use though, there are a few that are still not that good. I know the one I use (47293/47294) and have had them in 3 cars for years work very well.

The problem with the CS130s is the bearings are small, and they fail if you have too much or too little belt tension. Too much overloads them (bearing failure), and too loose super-heats the shaft (windings/brushes/regulator failure).

A thing that's also nice is that the Powermaster alts can be wired 1 or 3 wire, in case you 'need' to switch or match your existing wiring/setup.

They also have units that are not in the catalog, so if you need something out of the ordinary, call.
