So, I got my new n3106 regulator from the big auction site, and it's a bit weird. There is what looks like a small, exposed potentiometer in the potting on the bottom, and there's no name plate. It works fine. I heard southern automotive was building these now. Anyone ever seen an adjustment...

So, my conclusion at the end of this is I'm sourcing a new-to-me alternator/regulator combo. I don't know if my alternator is killing the regulator, but I burnt through one n3106, and then had a n3211 that worked four a couple of months. The original n3106 stopped charging, and now the n3211 is...

Hm. My alternator is not dual voltage, just 24v. The new one would be dual voltage.

I'm probably replacing the 200amp alternator in my '92 m998 with another 200 amp alternator. The new-to-me one comes from a 6.5 Turbo HMWMV, so I think it had a serpentine pulley on it (no pulley right now). Mine has the V-belt pulley. Are the shafts on all of the 200 amp HMMWV alternators the...

I think I'm in for a new regulator, and if I'm very unlucky, a new alternator.

It was working fine earlier in the summer, but I just noticed today I seem to be getting slow swings up to 32 volts or so. I'm going to check all grounds, but I may be in it for a new $300 regulator.

Re-checked the TC shift lever, and while the outside shape in the same, the alignment is different, so I think I'm in good shape there.

Another thing that is bugging me is I ordered a new shift lever to attach to the NP242 t-case. It was NSN 3040013588708 which is different than the one for the np218, but when I lined them up, they look identical. Is this the right one? It looks like it should work, but is pretty close to the...

No, the closest I got was this: http://psmag.radionerds.com/images/d/d3/PS_Magazine_Issue_565_December_1999.pdf Any idea where I can find the MWO? My GoogleFu is failing me.

Getting closer here. It appears that I should set the alignment of the speedo adapter to the mark of where the driven gear in the speedo adapter falls. There are recessed lines on the speedo adapter to align with the raised mark on the transfer case. It looks like the range I'll use is the one...

I'm swapping out my busted th400 that had a np218 transfer case on it for a functional th400 that has a np242. I think (we'll find out) I have the right drive shafts, etc., but I have a question I hope you all can help with now that I have both the old and new transmission and transfer case next...

Just got my first good rocker ding this past weekend on trails over in VT. The trail went down a brook with some good size rocks, and I probably should have gotten spotted through, but hindsight is 20/20. My friend following me with a ex-military '87 Mercedes g-wagon made it through fine, the...

I THINK mine engages together, more or less. I always chock mine if there is any slope whatsoever that might send it somewhere bad. I recall there have been a few incidents at shows/displays where someone has knocked the parking brake off on a parkless HMMWV and the truck has done damage or...

Not so much as a "done to" as a "done with". Although plenty of "done to" so I have the ability to actually have it participate in a "done with" :razz: Memorial day parade in Vermont with a friend's Deuce, and an '42 MB that is out of the picture.

I enjoy working on it, and don't regret owning it for a moment. Here in NH I pulled it out of salt-avoidance storage in early April and started to work on it at that point, and I just got it fully functional this past week, so it took me two months to really start using it again. That's...
