Tornado the way I see this, the OE TR's like to BURN when you place too much draw on them
so adding anything to the OE TR would not be wise, IMO.
We need a good 30Amps MORE of 24V power for these A/C units. (See my past post w/ exact
Amperage draws for fans, blower and clutch)
Stock we have...
I had written the folks who rebuilt the starter in my truck and in reply
they gave me contact info for a shop in GA that does Military ALT START
work;

Tornado I was told by a Niehoff guru the 1200 series will not fit
in these trucks. Been there done this exercise. Of corse a determined
sole might be able to do "something". Last night I crawled under
there and considered pulling the bracket that bolts to the frame
and reverse engineering it so...
I would make an M915 Truck Series* area.
The 5Ton area is overloaded as it is and the M915 Series stuff gets lost.
The M915 is a completely different animal too.

(I am not the only one who wants this)
On Friday and Saturday nights it's OK if things...
I have been busy.
I have good intel. I heard this first hand today from "the" source.
Here's the deal. In IRAQ the M915 series of trucks were burning, w/ the problems emanating
from the OE ALT TR system. A new system was designed and built, an upgraded ALT REGULATOR
System for the truck...
Jim what 200AMP Alt did you use, was it a Niehoff? What was the OE model number?
I am looking at frame fitment. If it is a Niehoff it is probably an 1100 or 1200 series ?????
The A/C issue...
Another idea I have to resolve the not enough 24V amps to do it by the book
issue is to swap out the 24V motor components in the A/C to 12V. This
may not be too hard nor too expensive, comparatively.
The Condensor Fans; There is a 12V unit you can swap in.
The Compressor...
Here are some ideas for ya.
This is hands down the most badazz way to add switches.
(Look at the switch panel I designed under the steering wheel)
You just use battery switches, or, heater switches w/ a diode for
lights w/ high or low beam. It has holes
already cut along the top edge that...
M916 Transfer Case Summer/Winter Pump Spacer
I found it is PS magazine, now instead of trying to explain it to
guys I can tell them to just go t " Artisan's M916 " thread and
see and read all about it!
Here is a pic of mine less the "Pump Disengegment Spacer" (PDS) It is not
installed in...
Jeep these trucks have a dual voltage ALT setup. There is an 85AMP 12V ALT and
strapped to the back there is a transformer Rectifier that takes the 12Volts and bumps
it up to 24Volts but only 15AMPS output.
Do you have a link to Stonepickers widget? I will read it you bet!
I have some pdf files on the Transformer Rectifier direct from the mfg and I would suggest
perhaps they have not seen the light of day till now, FWIW;

NOTES:
Here is the Amperage draw for the 3 items (are there more?) that use 24V power in the RD-2-4530-0 kit;
Condenser Fans (2) = 6.2Amps EACH = 12.4AMPS
Evaporator Blower Motor = 14.5AMPS
Compressor Clutch = 1.7AMPS...
NOTES;
5-11. BATTERY CHARGING CIRCUIT.
a. Description. Charging of the batteries is accomplished by a 14-volt, 85-ampere, self-load
limiting alternator with an integral transformer rectifier providing 24 volts for the cranking batteries
and 12 volts for other vehicle electrical loads. This...
I am seeing that now R R , unfortunately in retrospect, but I think there
is a work around w/o huge $ someplace. I am no electrician but seems to me that
if the starter pulls lets say 15AMPS off the 24V side of the TR , it seems to me that I should have
that many 15Amps to use (so long as I do...
