    Alternator went bad. Thinking of switching to 12v???

    keep it 24 volt,at the end of the day uncle sam uses 24 volt systems,because it takes half the amps to do the same amount of work.that is why your 24 v direct drive starter spins faster and longer than you can do with a commercial 6.2 l diesel. be advised converting a duce is less work than a...

    A few questions about "is this normal for a HMMWV"

    yes the brakes are intended for full load, so with no weight expect rear lock up. also don't deaccelerate through high speed corners ,slow down first than lightly accelerate, that was the most common reason for roll overs as the rear wheels tuck in as the rear raises and the front drops with...
