It is somewhat a simple system.
Atl1 (drivers side) outputs 12V to the 12V bus on firewall (next to brake booster) and it also outputs to the input of alt 2. Just like your front battery is connected to the back battery and also to the 12 volt bus.
The battery cables can be confusing since...
post some pics of your axles if you can with them clean. and we can tell you what you have. just cant tell much due to the snow covering.
I thought land rovers were indestructible.

first disconnect and test each battery, a dead cell can cause problems.
I would bet however you need alt 1 rebuilt and alt 2 is not far behind from needing a rebuild.
You can purchase in line thermostats, just wondering if it would be simplified and give better flow if the rear cross overs connected to an in line thermostat which could then return to the radiator side of thermostat. It would be possible also to split the radiator hose with a simple T.

yes, I put my old flex plate up to the new one and rolled it around. The two flex plates match up well and not at an angle. I don't think anything is wrong with the flex plate. I am leaning to just having one starter rebuilt with new Bendix gear. Maybe the old gear is more worn than I think...
I really like your tires and rims, I like mine also, not as tall as yours but 39's are ok in my book.
I have Michilin xzl 11 wide by 39 tall, bought 6 new and two used so I have two sets. The half tread ones will be going on the truck once it is finished. I just wanted the new ones for the...
If you could let me borrow a 24 volt redux just to test with, I will deliver it back to you. If anything happens to it I will replace with new.
my worst fear is that the starter bolt holes were drilled out of line, I am also considering putting the old flex plate on, this will be very...
fender cut and flare
I tried some more with no luck on the starter. I may purchase a newer model gear reduction to see if it makes a difference. I have two direct drive units both in good shape so I hate to have to change to a different starter. I also don't want to throw money at it and not...
Nice to see that it is on the road and being fine tuned, I prefer that terminology over getting the bugs out.
What starter are you using. I am trying to decide if I should by a new starter. can't get my direct drive 24 volt to line up. I have two, tried both. Wondering if a new gear reduction...
I seem to be having trouble getting the start to turn without some terrible noise. I shimmed the starter using up to 1/4 inch of shims. Starting with none and adding them 1/32 at time and it makes no difference in starter noise. not grinding just squealing really bad.
Also the Bendix gear...
pm me if you need a good 6.2 I pulled mine for a 6.5 with some banks parts (turbo never installed on motor)
To change the motor you don't have to change tranny but possibly torque converter if you go gas
The only direct swap in another 6.2 or a 6.5 if you do not get a Navistar 6.5 I would...
I got mine from amsoil at the time. have not looked. I have an amsoil guy in college station that works for tamu. I will ask him about it when I see him. He has already checked on the kit for a 6.5 for me and they have them. I will ask about the filters. I normally run into him weekly on...
check to see if the axles are upgraded. if not, just know you are pushing them to their limits with that tire size.
something to think about when off road if they are 10 bolt stock axles.
nice truck.

amsoil sells dual filtration kits for most motors. has an adaptor that screws onto existing oil cooler mount. I know you guys are using a mil spec unit but just passing on what amsoil does. They use one regular filter and one 5 micron filter. The 5 micron gets changed every other filter...
The truck may not be worth anything but the axles are worth $2k or better, don't mess them up you may want to use them in something else later. The D60 is almost worth its weight in gold these days.
If you wish to ride with the rear window down, you need one of those rear wings that turn the air down behind the vehicle. The wings serve two purposes. keep exhaust gasses from recirculating, and keep the back of the vehicle clean.
when I complete my roof rack, it will have the rear wing...
