    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    Low range in the Tcase. 1 on the transmission. BTM as described. Don't spin. Don't apply more power than you have traction to support, unless you're making progress. If you're making progress, all bets are off. A little left to right can allow side lugs on aggressive tires to get a bite and...

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    Dual voltage alternators. And as you said, it was specifically designed to prevent an imbalance. Without a dual voltage alternator specifically designed to avoid it, it's an "evil tap." As I understood it, the original reference was without a dual voltage alternator and the protection provided.

    HMMWV Replacement Batteries

    I did mine like this - the white cable is hardwired into the back of the slave port, and then terminates on a 30amp Anderson Powerpole. The battery charger terminates on a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole. The solargizer terminates on a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole. In normal use, the solagizer...
