BLUF: I don't think a 100A alternator would meet my needs or I would in a heartbeat. I did look in to pad mounting for cost/simplicity/replaceability starting around post #13/#15 but soon we digressed into discussions on acronyms, initialisms haha. While I found larger pad mount alternators, I...

Are you talking about rustoleum farm paint or something else ?

I ordered the handpump and fittings/hoses yesterday, just got shipment notification today. Did you use the Metro selector valve Ronmar suggested/specified above ? If so, I'd love to see some pictures of how you did it ! I have not ordered the alternator bracket yet. I needed to take...

I think I have everything ordered from Surplus and the MetroSelect from Amazon. Your list in this thread post was quite helpful. I'll reply to that with what I actually end up using for sure as well as post it here. Looks like it might fit in a laser cut/CNC bent bracket replacing the...

Good to know. I'm 3d printing some accurate size blocks now to fit check it where I want to put it, but was considering getting some BSPP 90s from SurplusCenter when I order the pump. What kinds of issues (if any) do you think I'd have routing this exactly as the previous hand pump if I want...

I'm about to order the same Wolverine Prince handpump and reservoir you used in your videos. Thank you ! Since you seem to be a very precise person, I'll say this and hopefully not come off as being disrespectful: I looked up a couple of those P/N in the -24P and I believe all the fittings...

You sure it's JIC and not AN ? AN would make more sense to me in this application, and the tolerances are more specific vs JIC. About 10 years ago we lost power after takeoff in one of the aircraft I flew in after a parts supplier supplied faux AN fittings that were actually JIC. Given that a...

A small contribution to the community (full memo and literature, courtesy of my awesome local Allison rep): It's part # 28 on my SN diagram:

Oh hey, one of suprman's listings (I believe). Picked one up as well. Don't have a nato slave receptacle on the truck but that's easy enough to re-terminate and power with whatever else. Looks like center pin is positive. Thank you so much for your expertise/advisement on this. I obviously...

With NC tax and a mandatory $60 freight charge since Allison is the only place I can seemingly get it (dealers/distributors don't have it anywhere on the east coast, 3 different ones all saying same thing), it's $460. The dude was shocked at how much it cost. Like, he was warning me to be...

Well, you and general disorder convinced me... time to eat Ramen for a month !

I'm going to buy one if I can... but PPA-CF is a pretty incredible filament. We sinter in nylon at work, as well as metal sinter up to 316SS, and I'd say that PPA-CF is somewhere between the two. Has something like 24,000PSI tensile strength, almost exact dimensional printing, great layer...

Wow. That is the most expensive washer I think I've ever heard of... I am now a little bit more prepared for sticker shock when/if the guy calls me back. For that price I'm tempted as well. I wonder how one printed from PPA-CF would perform...

My 2002 A1 also does not have the brace mentioned earlier. No current issues but I am looking into pre-emptively replacing it. Trying to find a place to buy the new P/N 29545936 is proving difficult. Waiting on a callback from my local Allison dealer but not sure Allison even makes this anymore.

Thanks, makes sense the seals are toast. Sudden seal failure at these pressures is definitely possible, just wasn't sure that was the cause. I'll go the 2x pump rebuild route. Just finished reading this thread, found Colt and Fastidioud rebuild videos, and while the individual seals, u cup, and...

I have looked at buying one since I imagine I'll be doing many diagnostics on the truck but based on these forums, the software is the hard piece to find (along with the $600+ pricetag).

Alright, new problem... My cab will no longer raise. The cab will go up a small amount, the pin appears to retract, but the cab doesn't raise more than 0.5-1" we'll say. My wife and I were able to "help" lift the cab all the way up (Basically both of us overhead pressing from underneath the...

Yesterday I was able to finish making battery cables and tried to give her a start Before After. Turned out a little messier than I was hoping, and still need to cut down the length of the charger leads, but it does supply the correct power and the lid closes. Most of the remaining cables...

Neither oshcut nor sendcutsend will bend anything thicker than 0.25" steel, but some quick chatGPT math says a 40# cantilever at the end of 1/4" A36 steel 3" wide and 7" long will deflect ~0.01" at 2.5G. And I can literally order this, blast 4x crappy welds on the tube and be done. Dude...

That's awesome you're having an extra 14 made to (I assume) sell to other members looking to upgrade their alternators. It is an interesting design. Skeletonized for weight, easy to make... and I am a huge fan of laser cut/CNC bent parts vs having to weld... Hm. I wonder if a hybrid approach...
