    Artisan's M916

    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...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I would be happy to help move, by whatever means, HIT REPORT BUTTON AND ENTER 915 perhaps or PM links...whatever.

    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; Southeastern Alternator and Starter 979 City Circle Rd Baxley, Ga 31513 Tel 1-912-367-4370 Fax 1-912-367-7949 Phil Lewis...

    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...

    Here is a VERY CLOSE dimensional drawing of what will work. Anything bigger and your notching the frame, and that ain't gonna happen... CLICK HERE

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    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. *M915 M916 M917 M918 M919 M920 A1 A2 A3 A4 A (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...

    Backup lights

    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...

    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!

    Highjack away! I so want your opinions and input! ...and the 5114TB TR puts out 15A it says in print.

    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...
