Could the OEM alternators be this T1 RH swung mount style ? If so, this 24v 155A alternator might fit a nice middle ground for $525. I tried to measure the bottom wings of mine, while still mounted... not terribly successful but seemed like 6", shorter than the 7.1" of this diagram ...

Small progress today but finished with what I believe to be is all of the drilling. Base plate, rear plate, and new holes in the battery box to secure it with. 8 new holes to mount the unistrut to through the baseplate so there are just as many of the same bolts holding down my try as OEM...

Got the brackets that I designed and ordered from sendcutsend delivered today. Rear bracket for mounting all the busbars and breakers to: And the mount for the vanner which supports the mounts for Dual Circuit Battery Switch and future ML-RBS (Remote Battery Switch) for the winch...

Sure thing ! I'm trucking along with with you, putting a disconnect in my truck too. I just got the mount for the Blue Sea Systems 5510E e-Series Dual Circuit Battery Switch delivered today. If you look at Post #3 in my build thread (which I just started) I made a diagram of how the stock...

I actually maintain a rather lengthy acronym post on coloradofans for this exact reason and try not to use too many, or at least do the whole: Acronym Rich Environment (ARE) thing to spell out an acronym. I've found forum search functions to really only be helpful when I want posts from a...

Our aircraft pubs have a glossary in the back, acronym soup cover to cover. haha. Occasionally they'll slip out... I generally try and define them first before using them. My fault. Had ELA on the mind from an ongoing aircraft integration. I'll admit the interchangeable IAH and AIH usage on...

:LOL: I like yours better, but Electrical Load Analysis. I have those same concerns... The 28SI alternator is 154mm/6" in diameter vs the 7.75" advertised for yours... which doesn't say if it includes the mounting brackets or just the body. I might end up trying to CAD design an alternator...

This is my ELA so far... not in love with the formatting but gotta start somewhere. This is also worst case, full draw on everything... seems like a 200A alternator is more in my future. Would this be the the pad mount version of the J180 @hike put on ? (Hike installed a A0014740JB) Genuine...

@mechanicjim & @GeneralDisorder I'm trying to shift general build stuff to this thread, I'm sorry for de-railing the PPD thread. And thank you. I feel like I've said that in every post I've replied to for weeks now, but y'alls knowledge is impressive. I've never had to spec an alternator for...

@Ronmar, @hike, @MatthewWBailey, I think this might be a more "on topic" place to continue the alternator discussion. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully the mods aren't too upset about going a bit off topic in the PPD thread. Thank you, something seemed off about 4mins. No ego in...

Oh yes, I am very familiar with your threads ! It is also quite helpful (both your diagrams and the knowledgeable members talking through the "why" behind your couple of revisions). Did you do an ELA and decide you needed 200A ? That Leece Neville A0014740JB is a really awesome alternator...

Think I've got the general design of the tray down. Blue Sea Systems 5510E e-Series Dual Circuit Battery Switch (for a complete battery disconnect) on the right side and ML-RBS (for winch disconnect) on the left side. And I cut some unistrut for battery lateral restraint. For/aft will be...

Dude, thank you. So much. I was tracking some of this, but not all of it. (the ifskit, bypass oil filtration, and a general desire for more gauges but not specifics). The list is pretty long, and I couldn't find a good way to post it all (plus it's going to change so I just took a...

No problem. I have gleaned a lot from these forums, Coloradofans, and wranglerfans among others so I want to give back. And thanks ! I'm actually selling mine. I loved building it, and it's pretty ideal for what I use[d] it for, but need the garage space and funds unfortunately. Wife didn't...

Thanks Keith, I will for sure. We were actually looking at your transmission swap pictures while doing it ! Glad to hear your rig is working out so well. I was stoked to see you start a youtube channel. If you find yourself in NC, I'd love to see yours in person.

On Wednesday I purchased a second fuel tank, purest air dryer, and that vanner from a community member about 1.5hrs from me. Great dude, not sure what his username is on here but assume he is. Alright, I think I'm caught up. haha. To be continued !

I've slowly been making my way from the alternator to the battery box. At this point I have: Made a new 24v alternator cable (2/0AWG to future proof for a bigger, 28SI commercial alternator) Removed the old battery tray Roughed out a piece of 1/8" 5052 aluminum to be new tray bottom...

Aside from getting rid of the four old XML tires in the bed, the first thing I wanted to do was at least look at, if not remove/bypass, the PPD. I'm not sure why the PPD or ABS modules are outside in the elements, but the truck was old enough to drink and I have read enough on here about PPD or...

This was the first time I laid eyes on her. Fairly rust free, dry cab, really no dents in the body, and had the serpentine belt "mod". I purchased some NOS Goodyear MV/Ts to put on it since the XMLs were from 2006: And then went about replacing every single fluid in the truck as well as...

Greetings SS community ! I wanted to start a build thread before I got too far behind the power curve. I'll be posting updates here and on my website (Aviator4x4.com). Last December, my wife and I ("we") purchased a 2002 M1078A1 we call "Pandora" (for a multitude of reasons haha). Like...
