I wonder what difference the last digit being 0 or 5 makes?

Which bushing are you talking about? The large steel "roll pin" / split sleeve bushing in the rear bottom ear of the alternator? That's the only bushing in any mounting holes on the alternator or brackets on mine. If you were missing it, you would have big problems. It not only makes the...

Yes, though you'll have to replace the yokes on the transfer case and axles, I think.

Did your L-bracket damage the top of the the curved cast alternator bracket? Mine did, and I had to have that surface machined flat again, and put in a steel shim spacer to make up for the missing metal. You want to make sure everything is flat, mating, and tight, when it goes back together...

Yeah, I read the thread in detail. I asked because you previously mentioned a number of bolts missing or broken, but none that you found loose, and then you were just mentioning the loose one now after talking about the driveline, so I wasn't sure if you were talking about one of the u-joint...

A duty cycle is an amount of time the device can be in operation, in relation to a necessary period of rest before it can become capable of performing the cycle again. Most commonly that is related to heating of electrical components. There's nothing about the fan that needs downtime... it...

My fan clutch was stuck in the on position for many years before I owned it (judging by the corrosion on the incorrectly installed fan clutch switch that wouldn't have let it turn off even if the clutch wasn't stuck), plus the years I owned it. A fan blade can't have a duty cycle. It is either...

Really, never even tried it out of curiosity, or while wrenching on something in the cab? You're a little close to the ceiling, but otherwise the view is pretty much just like in the driver's seat... right out the giant glass windshield. With the taller MRAP seats I have, I wouldn't ride there...

I'm not sure what you're asking. The view is exactly the same as the typical center seat, just several inches to the left or right. The seats I used are maybe 2" taller than the stock seat, so you sit up just a little higher too (for an adult, that's almost with your head touching the ceiling...

I don't understand how that's an advantage. The batteries aren't doing much while the engine is running, so they are mostly for starting the truck. So with your system you are using 1/2 as many batteries to start the truck? As for the picture of the burned alternator, that's the first I've...

I'm pretty sure those are just schematics pages out of the back of the TMs.

There is only 31" between the factory front seats, without touching. The setup I made (in another post) uses two 16" wide MRAP seats, with a 1/2" gap between them, and it rubs the sides of both factory front seats. (Which was why I was offering to make someone else a copy of the mounting plate...

So this is just an old bowl-shaped cover, with the "bottom of the bowl" machined off to leave the ring?

That Insights G3 is pretty cool, and would be the type of thing you would want. I don't think there is anything like that made for what we want to do though. So you would have to make it yourself with a microcontroller (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.), but at least you could put whatever...

Interesting product. I have a couple questions... 1.) Will the Double-Alt run submerged like the military unit will? 2.) Why do you think the military chose a brushless design, while you choose brushed? What are the advantages of brushless? 3.) Why does the cooling duct come out the...

No it wasn't - I read all Duckworthe's posts before asking. He just says they were really bad. I was hoping when he got them back he would have some actual numbers.

Did Todd tell you how bad your shafts were before he fixed them?

If there is nothing that needs to be rebuilt on the shafts it's only going to be about $100/ea to have them straightened and balanced. I'd be interested to see what kind of "cheap insurance" vibration monitoring system could be had. I never even looked into it because most of it is expensive and...

Me too. Don't the military 200A alternator kits come with a whole new set of mounting brackets and stuff? I think that's the key - it doesn't just swap in place. The kits also come with upgraded wiring and other relevant electronics, I think.

When I originally read the military engineering reports, I looked those up. They're the style on a lot of Toyotas, and would require new yokes installed on the transfer case and axles, I think.
