    Converting to dual alternators

    Mostly done. The 12 volt side is not wired up yet. During the inital start up the battery gauge went to the middle of the green, someplace it's never been. A few minutes later it creeped up to the low side of the red. I need to get the multimeter out there and see what it's putting out...

    Converting to dual alternators

    I feel good enough to supervise. So far soldier B is turning most of the wrenches. I did do the reaming on the pulley myself though. The drill press broke so I had to do it by hand. Came out perfect though. Drill bit cost 24 dollars and we used a full can of WD40. We are planning on get...

    Converting to dual alternators

    The kit from George aka TM America was $150 with shipping. If I remember correctly you can get either the 24 volt or the 12 volt set up individually for 75 plus shipping. If that's wrong George please correct me. George tells me every nut and bolt I need is in the kit and it sure looks like...

    Converting to dual alternators

    Made a little progress today, but not much since my back is still AFU. We might give it a go in the morning with my ace wrench - soldier B - manning the tools and doing the lifting. Here are some pics of what I have:

    Converting to dual alternators

    Just got the alternators and belts in the mail today. I picked up a new Interstate battery on Monday (which is how I hurt my back again) so I offically have everything I need - except for a pain free back. I hope to get started soon.

    Converting to dual alternators

    I got the brackets from George aka TM America yesterday. Haven't been able to check them out since I hurt my back again. As soon as the meds wear off and some of the pain goes away I'll give them a proper review.

    Spin on filter conversion

    I change my filters every 3-4 months (probably not needed, but it feels good) and only lose a few drips, even after only letting the engine sit for a few minutes. I change oil once per year no matter what the mileage.

    Converting to dual alternators

    I'm taking the plunge and installing dual alternators on my deuce. I have ordered brackets from George (aka TM America) and I just ordered the 24 volt alternator from Pat's Small Engine Parts. I'm going with a one wire set up designed for a Cummins Engine - CUMMINS ALTERNATORS AND GENERATORS...

    Data plates

    It took a year to get my order taken. It was 3 1/2 weeks (quoted 3) after my payment was received to get my off the shelf, not etched, not custom plates. I don't feel that I bashed anyone, I just told my experience. Period. No more, no less. The whole thing could have been an endless series...

    Data plates

    Final update - I called David Monday and he informed me the data plates I ordered went out on Sunday. I received them today via USPS priority mail.

    Replacement seat spring?

    Just an update - Gimpy offered to pull one of his springs and send it to me until I could source another, but I found one before he had the chance. Thanks again Gimp! George at White Owl came through AGAIN. This is the third time I've needed something harder to find and he got me what I...

    GL 'State Certificate of Title'??

    RAT4SPD got a FL title issued by GL on his truck purchased in Iowa. Everyone else that I have heard got a title out of GL had it issued from FL. As I understand it, GL, not the customer, decides if the extra 17 dollars and a title is required.

    More Rear Axle Seal Questions

    I run the 1/4 inch "high flo" fittings on everything. It took a 1 inch HF gun with 1/2 hose and 3/8 fittings to get the lugs loose after the tire shop over tightened them, but now they come off fine with my 1/2 inch Craftsman gun and truck air - just like before I took it to the tire shop...

    The cargo tarp seams are splitting. How do you fix?

    Looks backwards to me. I just took mine off for Friday's Christmas parade or I would get you some pics of what is backwards from mine. Edit - looks like we posted at the same time.

    M105 Camper

    Top on and second mattress in place. Working on a divider curtain and some cabinets. Undecided if I will use the field desk at all. We might use the table top from a broken one as a table. I would hinge it to fold out of the way when not in use.
