    Deuce fuel and electrical problems

    I have a new to me 1971 deuce. I have had it for about 2 weeks aand everything has been working fine. This past Friday it stalled out on me 3 times and on the 4th that was it. I was only a mile from the house so I pulled it home jumping it a couple of times and getting it running for a short...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Ok what if I added 2 deep cycle batteries to run my lights brakes cig lighter and radio and used an auto battery charger at night to recharge them. I also have a gen set for my business trailer that I could plug the charger into riding down the road. This is NOT my ideal way of doing it but it...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    I get what you are saying that it is adding more amperage to the 2 12v/24v batteries but if I'm pulling the 2 seperate 12v from each individual 12/24 what harm would it do? I have a 2 axle trailer with 1 axle having electric disc brakes. I could also run a 12v cigarette lighter to power my phone...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Oh by the way, I'm bobbing the deuce, keeping duel wheels, removing the bed, and adding a 12 foot box that will be converted into a camper. I'm not sure how to add pics but I'll add a pic of my trailer until the deuce is built. Brad

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    This is proving to be quite a challenge. As an ex commercial electrician it seems to me someone; Mack, Freighliner, Volvo, someone has had to do this before. So I would think there would be some sort of wiring harness out there with a convertor built in. However this doesn't mean it's cheaper...

    Hello, I am new to this site. I am having a deuce built for me to pull a business trailer with a 7 pin connector and electric brakes. Does anyone know if there is a converter made to transform the 24v deuce to the 12v 7 pin connector and if so where I can get one? Also I know they make brake...
