R Racing has a 12V ALT right?
R Racing has a #52210 Sure Power Equalizer right?
It says on the label, 24/12V output Current 100Amps MAX right?
Now CLICK HERE and get the directions for the 52210 unit.
Now look at the diagrams, BOTH diagrams show a 24VOLT ALTERNATOR!

12V Side Ammeter Reading
FWIW
I have a new DC Ammeter.
I put it around the red + wire that goes into the harness and connects to the ALT, at the ALT.
I got a reading of about 44.8Amps with the following on;
High Beams
High Heater Fan
1- Dash Fan
Hazards
Rear Work Lights
ke5eua,
You just need to buy some of the mud chains I have for sale and call it done.
Gotta love the pics! Thank U! I know, that is a lot of work to not only do
the deeds but share it w/ the world via pics and blog on the web!
Regarding the TM section.
I "think" the gent whom owns liberatedmanuals.com is a member here,
"maybe" he has some input or would like to do some deeds ? :-)
That guy deserves a medal in my book.
Just for chets and giggles, past a dual ALT system was briefly talked
about. If the 12V horn was moved there is room for a 2nd ALT in
that hole I thunk. A guy could make a platform utilizing those 2- 3/4" +/-
frame bolts w/o much hassle.
Then add an ALT facing backwards
(so a clockwise or...
Dim Headlight Repair
One headlight was dim, replaced it and still dim. I pulled
the lights and cans and under it all are some electrical
terminal strips and on either end there are grounds that
need to ground to the body. I had rust so disassemble and a quick squirt
w/ the handheld glass bead...
I see 2 tempting ALT's on Ebay sold in the past 24Hours.
If you are reading this and you bought one of those for an M915 series truck good luck.
Those things are TWO INCHES bigger in diameter than what is stock!
If they didn't ship yet you might want to reconsider, been there, investigated...
I just had a thought, grab some nasty looking cut up wiring harnesses and hang them
dangling down w/ a few household wire nuts , stuff you should NOT use on a MV,
have that stuff laying around the floorboards :-)
I guess a guy would be wise to remove some key parts and hide them
so they are less "desirable" perhaps. So instead of the inspector writing down.
ALL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONAL, instead they might write ALL EQUIPMENT INOP.
;-)
Good job! Gotta love the BENDIX Fan Clutch too!
I like it better than OE. I have spares fs.
But your drawing almost THIRTY Amps w/ just the A/C system off that
time bomb of a 24V Transformer Rectifier. I PM'd you the link to my build
thread where were trying to find a resolve.
Any electric guys know this?
If I wanted to see how many amps the 12V side pulls I would obviously turn
on everything I could***, then grab a DC Ammeter but what wire
would I put it around, the 12V #10A wire at the ALT ?
I can provide a schematic if needed.

Hazards on.
Dash Fans on...
We kinda need to know the AMP draw on the 12 side yes?

Thank You NDT, I guess if a guy could get the build plans and compare it could be nailed down.
The fans suck a lot of power for sure, almost 15Amps, I think I suggested a possible solution of
replacing just the Condenser fans from 24V to a 12V flavor in this thread past, with maybe a manual...
The parts cost to replace the 24V A/C motor type parts w/ 12V equivalents is;
2- Condenser Fans
1- Blower Motor
1- Fan Clutch Coil
...is going to be about $425.00 or so w/ shipping and I searched for best pricing.
The circuit breaker needs to be bigger, they recommend a 40A breaker
for the...
