    Learn from Chucky..., FMTV cab support tool

    I usually give a little tap to my pivot pin after the cab is at the balance point and it rests on that strap. I feel this is pretty safe as gravity isn’t going to give out any time soon.

    LMTV '04 M1078A1 starting issues

    OK I understand now, thanks. I usually keep my bench test batteries topped off so my alternator doesn't stall out my test motor. I will drag them down a little bit and then re-test with a clamp meter and see if my older regulator outputs consistent current. I want to make sure I can catch a...

    LMTV '04 M1078A1 starting issues

    This is where you lose me a bit. If the batteries are at 28.8V and they aren't taking a charge, doesn't that point to a problem within the batteries? If the batteries were drawing current and the alternator wasn't producing, wouldn't the voltage drop?

    LMTV '04 M1078A1 starting issues

    I've watched this video like 5 times now, looks perfectly normal. what exactly is the problem? I tested a never used NOS '07 regulator yesterday on the bench with an identical setup to yours, and it behaves the same. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l_WHBP6oS8lKzLiPA75US29vJWc_PIAD/view

    LMTV '04 M1078A1 starting issues

    This is the test I am curious about. Simply from the standpoint of removing as many variables as possible.

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Curious if you’d like to revisit this post, you made some pretty specific predictions.

    LMTV '04 M1078A1 starting issues

    Previous to cleaning the regulator to alternator connection, weren't you getting OVCO on the 28V side? Now that problem has migrated to the 14V side? You deleted 2 of your 4 batteries right? I wonder what would happen if you completely removed the alternator from the truck wiring, and cabled it...

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    Question for you guys, If I had some alternator mounts manufactured that took a COTS 24V alternator and fit the stock location, would people be interested in it? Would it also be desirable to add a pad to mount a 24 to 12V convertor so that the whole package sat in the stock location and made...

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    I think that is an A0 mount. Here is the A1 that looks like it might not need much tweaking to take that alternator…

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    That’s a bummer man. I have an extra LMTV alternator bracket you’re welcome to if you need a foundation to fab up a custom mount. Also I’d be interested in buying your neihoffs off you if you’re giving up on them.

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Hey as long as your coming up with outlandish solutions, what about this one: Take a set of lawn mower batteries like here and connect the alternator directly to them. Then, have a 12v and a 24v DC to DC pair of chargers to connect to the 4 6TLs in the stock location. Those DC to DC chargers...

    LBCD replacement due to loose studs. CARNAGE!!

    The regulators are temperature compensating, so that may account for the slight variation it seems like you have in the 28v band. Not sure if you were tracking the voltage versus the ambient of the different legs of your road trip. The fluttering of the voltage was the part that was incorrect...
