If you pull 14 out of the middle of a 28V battery, you have to also charge with 14 otherwise the batteries will not charge equally. A 28V alternator or power supply only knows 28V. It knows nothing of battery balance. So lets say you start to pull 14v power out of the middle. This drops the...

if you are only drawing 24v out of it, it would be no more overloaded than any other 24v alt. The Neihoff‘s Achilles heel rears its ugly head when you start pulling 14v out of it. The alt is rated 100A combined load, and since the 14 is pulled from the first half of the windings, it can only...

You need to keep the 12v connection between battery and alternator as the regulator is looking for that input/relationship to regulate the 14v output to exactly 1/2 of the 28v output. I think if it is seeing a certain amount of field drive to reach 28V it is expecting to see a certain amount of...

Hmmm then I wonder why the military(or anyone else for that matter) doesn’t use the LBCD in all their vehicles…:) this is the only system I have ever worked on that employs such a device. A device that does something that is cautioned against(disconnecting battery from alternator while...

I am using this solenoid for my fan and for my pac-brake control(2 of them ganged together)… They are from Automationdirect.com, they list the hardware and seal kit and mount brackets along with the valve. Very reasonable price…. Below is my pacbrake valve joined with my fan control valve.

@MatthewWBailey i don’t think that is all that much of an issue witha a straight 24v alt. 115A for a short duration on a straight 100A@24v alt is not terrible, I would call it basiclly a non event on a 110A@24 alt...:) The cool thing about lead-acid batteries is that their current draw is...

Yes and no. any vehicle power system will suffer from neglect. Daily driven the batteries would be less of a load on the alt, but the system needs to be able to cope with worst case, and a depleted 240AH wet cell bank paired with this alt = worst case EVERY TIME. IMO they skipped over some...

1. the alternator is not bad, but it is A. hamstrung by by internal current limitations and only delivers ~1930W worth of power with both the 14 and 28v legs loaded to full capacity. A straight 100A@28V alt delivers 2800W fully loaded(1/3 more power!). and B. Paired with the 4 battery 240AH...

depends on how much slippage/wheel spin you have:). in the end the same amount of tread covers the same distance over the ground, there is just more of it in contact with the earth at any given time at a lower pressure... What is Isspro asking for one of those jewels?

You might also be able to approach this from another direction. Look up the PTO drive gearbox P/N, and the manufacturer should have specs for type pumps or output interface it is compatible with…

Got all the wiring done today. and I think I have a pretty good 3d print setup, but I have the printer crunching on another project today.

The main reservoir is where that vent is located it has a dipstick…. As mentioned, slobber bad…

A0 Ex brake throttle switch went in pretty well…

Ok, the line that came off is the park air feed-line off of the 2way check valve. Shouldn’t come in contact with anything. I suspect that at some time past something got replaced and new connections had to be done and they nibbled away at the existing cable and pulled out the slack needed to...

Yea I was going to build a center console that incorporated the A/C evap over that recirc port. The engine warms up nicely with that coolant recirc removed and the pump returned to its original back to block recirc configuration. This pretty-much requires a water pump replacement though as...

Can’r tell did it come out of the fitting thru the floor, or the one above that on the 2way check valve a few inches above? those are called compression fittings. You need DOT approved ones on brake system somponents, I get mine from Napa, as mentioned, they now make push to connect and those...

What fuzzy said, the bleed-down of the primary fuel system indicates a leak somewhere. If it is leaking it IS sucking in air! There is a primary fuel pressure test port between the HEUI pump and the filter on the side of the head. sucking air will show as dips/fluctuations in primary...

it would make a nice porch on a tiny home:)

That flapper only effects primer function, it opens when running to allow full flow/bypass of that primer bulb. you may have an air leak sucking air into the system. You need to hook up a primary fuel pressure gauge to test pri pressure. I show where in my fuel sys overview vid and i show what...

Yep that's it. Plug and play? other than the exact same nason switch provided by one of our resident suppliers, no... There is nothing special about it, it is a normally closed 15PSI low oil pressure switch(completes a circuit until it sees >15PSI). The 2 wires in the truck side plug go to...
