Strange the tank is centered over the axle. A 5th wheel or goose neck is designed to carry a large part of the trailer load.

I don't blame the guard, if I saw a herd of sweat hogs coming at me and the only thing between me and the great beyond was a piddly little 9MM, I would run too.

But not in this case.

No, the resistor is between the trio and ground terminal. The trio provides the voltage to operate the regulator. The resistor either has something to do with exciting the regulator and/or turning on the dash light in certain applications, I would have to look it up because I don't remember the...

Some alternators have the resistors, some don't. They are not necessary.

Actually, the set point is 14.8. Review my testing the alternator thread for details. Testing The Alternator On The Vehicle.

I originally had my M35A2 with Statefarm. Since then I have used Gulfway as my agent. My MV policies were originally underwritten by Travelers with Gulfway as the agent. Travelers no longer offers collector insurance so Gulfway set me up with Hagerty. I currently have two ex-military trucks and...

A question, if you are paying close to $2k a year to insure a 18 year old vehicle, is there some problem with your driving record other than your age? That will make a significant difference on what you pay or if you can get insurance. Have you asked your insurance company what they would charge...

The derating comes from the supply circuit capabilities. You lose at least a third of the amp capacity on single phase. If the supply circuit has a high enough amp capacity or you have a small motor, it probably doesn't matter.

What Tom said. A friend of mine has one on his Bridgeport. You end up with 2/3 the HP of the motor rating if I remember correctly.

Try wearing your seat belt. That worked pretty good for me.

I got tired of buying 4 batteries when 2 work fine. With 4 batteries, when one goes bad, you have to buy 2 to replace both in that series pair. You can try replacing one, but in my experience that only makes the other one fail faster. If you have a truck that requires a lot of cranking to start...

Scroll up and read post #5.

I would just run diesel.

I understand that, however the OP doesn't know how the electrical system in his truck works and suggesting a solution to a problem he doesn't have is confusing. It's better to explain how the electrical system in his truck works so he can see for himself. Maybe he will take the time and read...

That would be true for that situation. However, this thread is about a M916A1, and since a M915A1 which I have, is the same electrically, I answered OP questions based on his truck, which is a dual voltage design.

I used a Baldwin base for the spin on conversion but do not have the number handy. It was easy and worked fine. Getting the oil out of your tote and into a container to get rid of it is hard to do without spilling it everywhere.

Why?

No it doesn't. I don't have to turn off the 24 volt power. There is nothing on the truck that is 24 volts except the starter and it's only on when I push the start button. I'm still waiting for you to tell me how the batteries become imbalanced. I was under the impression that the M916A1 is...

Thanks, the battery hold down is repurposed from the radio rack that was in my S-250 shelter, so it is made from mil-spec parts! You can't see it in the picture, but there is a relay and circuit breaker between the batteries on the 12 volt supply wire. I turn off the 12 volt supply when the...
