I will see what I can isolate in the A/C & D/C sides. The problem with D/C so close to high output A/C is that noise can often look like an A/C bleed over even though it is just noise.
The Speed signal is a typical hi/low square wave magnetic speed pickup signal. As far as actual RPM? Not...
So I did a little more digging. First I went right to the Generator head and measured the A/C output. I was getting 45-60 V at each of the three poles. It was a sine wave appearance. BUT that tells me that the A/C side is doing what it should. I then went to the D/C side and I got 24-25V DC...
I can check that the RPM sensor is putting out a signal. There is a three position power source select switch with OFF-GEN-SHORE. There are breakers to turn on/off different voltage outputs, and there is a contactor which engages the main load bank by electrically closing a large relay. None...
I have been trying to bring back an Applied Companies Drash unit and am starting to get a little deeper than I like and thought I would reach out and see if you guys have experienced this stuff before.
I knew the fuel pump was bad on the Perkins when I got it so I pulled it and had it rebuilt...

Product NEWS!
We have officially released V2 of the CUCV Cooling Upgrade Kit. V2 now includes several manufacturing changes we have been slowing integrating into V1 kits over the last several months so in order to properly maintain both the older build kits and these new ones we added the new...
We are officially back open from our summer shop vacation Monday but I personally just got back this AM so why put off till Monday what I can do now! The Optimizer, GEP and Navistar 6.5 engines are all upgraded from the 6.2ltr. Depending on the vintage and manufacturer you will have any...
This is a typical issue with these trucks as they were set-up to have a large load in the back. Most guys on the street never need that much load carrying so they end up with positive camber and a drag race look in back.
The thought had crossed our mind a few times to make a billet aluminum one with a good drain plug with a magnetic end on it. Might have to put that on the list of TO-Dos :)
You are very correct. The rear block design and the overall coolant flow pattern on these blocks leaves a lot to be desired. Of course most on here know about our Cooling Upgrade Kits to fix this. We have a blog which describes the issue in detail here...
Guys we are closing the shop for a much needed vacation August 1st thru the 11th. We will still return calls and emails during this time for support. Please get all your orders in before the end of business on the 31st if you need them shipped before the 11th.

Coming in late to the party, but I doubt the thermostat would cause that fast of an overheat. In fact I have a hard time believing it can get to 240 in 5 mins period. So how do we know it is really 240 and not an infamous bad gauge? I would run a set of jumper cables from the block to the...
I dont like recommending to put our kits on without getting your other issue resolved but these will drastically reduce the fan cycling and the duration it is on for (when working properly). But the real key is keeping the rear two cylinders from overheating locally and the constant bleeding...
