drat... thought that might offer a kill two birds with one stone chance

hhhh..... would that make this potentially an an Anti Theft switch if you hide it in plain sight just right ?

there is some threads in here where folk modified their CAT alternator bracket to fit the more commonly available commercial sized 24v alternators

update... replaced batteries with two 2023 CAT 1000cca batts and it jumped back to life. The two batts that were in it still show good via a battery load tester. Apparently the load tester does not load them enough for the fault to kick in??

where is that one? Redid the alt ground a bit (could not get bolt off.. but spun the shiat out of it with the impact to help it clean itself) and cleaned the ground by the starter. Added a ground from Batt to the chasses.

now that it is warm... my alternator occasional works LOL. (200 amp Hummer) Will the excite wire get voltage if the alternator ground is not at all or is poorly connected? Knowing that will help me diagnose if it is that or ground (or regulator)

guess anything is possible https://www.youtube.com/shorts/93VwTZ5ClLI?feature=share

IMHO best choice (which was not available when the above folks were doing their handle fixes)..... is our member here that makes Eco Hubs. He now make/sells machined replacement parts for the two parts that make up 99% of the handle failures. Least costly when you come down to it as well.

Adept Ape (a CAT mechanic Youtuber) just had similar.... on a rebuilt engine. Long story short he dropped oil pan and low and behold the oil pick up tube was not tight to the base of where it attaches (to pump I assume)... allowed air in, would aerate oil etc. . Buttoned it up and all good.

@Ronmar just posted a picture from birds eye that might help conceptually. Its I think a 1079 though. Granted I think you got this figuredd out now and moved on. Not sure from any of these pics where the cable from the arm attaches above to the bottom of x (x=bed, box, etc) though not sure...

apparently shorade93 has not been back to this site since 2023

looking closer... apparently there is more to this that just buzzword. It has a place on it to plug Lithium battery BMS up to it. My guess is when Lithium bank is full the BMS triggers the relay to NOT have the relay click over to send any voltage down that lithium charge terminal.

whooooo... you snuck that in.. do tell... not heard about a foot switch... what does that do?

Is the black part in above pic what you had real hard time keeping aligned to fit the outer rim bead rings on?

this use to work for me. Stopped working

spot was cleaned/sanded to bare metal... ground attached shows good contact when tested. Will drill when can get back to it. Cleaned all connections again other day while waiting on parts. Few more days on Jeep parts to wait. Think Ill mess with resurrecting motorcycle since nothing more...

for future reference.. why image sideways?? Devices take pics only in one orientation.... device (phone, tablet etc.) saves image via whatever standard / type your settings are. (jpeg, png, what quality etc.. etc. ) - BUTT!! it tags a small code file to it . That code tells "devices"...

thank @Ronmar & @GeneralDisorder . Glad got that clarified... thought had read it in here somewhere you could .... hadn't done it,.... nor planned too... but had it stuffed in my head as a possible work around if ever needed. Will now erase that file out of my grey matter hard drive.

just to clarify... am I right thinking; you can put 12v relay in 24v socket, if you get as close to doubling the specs of the 12v one as you can ?
