    24 volt to 12 volt

    Your argument is invalid in my thread. Why, because it's my truck and I did what I wanted. You do what ever you want to your truck. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

    24 volt to 12 volt

    It's rated for 1200 watts, 1600 surge, and 100 amps. But I don't plan on pulling that much power through it at one time. It had great reviews online verses the other models with less watts and amps. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Yes, cucv and some humvee have split systems. But they also have two alternator's, or a dual voltage alternator to charge both the 12 volt and 24 volt at the same time. I am pretty sure the engineers would not have used two alternator's if pulling off the 12 volt side could be charged with...

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Without an alternator charging the 12 volt side, it will slowly drain that battery causing it to fail or short out. Spent a lot of money on some really nice batteries in the spring, not going to do something that would fry it. There are 12 volt alternator kits or dual charging 12/24 volt...

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Got everything off an auction site. The transformer was $82 with free shipping, the solenoid was $68 with free shipping, and both fuse blocks where $20 a piece for a total of $40 with free shipping. The cigarette lighter socket was $10 with free shipping. So grand total is $200. If you add...

    Air Ride Seat!

    Hopefully soon! Drivers seat is not to bad. That old bench seat was horrible. I couldn't barely sit in it for 15 minutes with some cushions. Can't image riding in it for hours. The driver seat is actually not to bad. Drove from Dayton, Oh. to my house (about 7 hours) with only 2 stops. Just...

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Well I just found this about solenoid temps: Standard DECCO coils are rated class 105oC, which means that they can safely reach and sustain temperatures up to 105oC or (221oF) -temperatures hotter than boiling water! Therefore, a solenoid too hot to touch may not be overheated. Solenoid...

    24 volt to 12 volt

    All the wiring is hooked up, just need to clean up the wiring. Tapped into the battery switch to power the solenoid. A little worried the solenoid is getting up to 165 degrees. All the terminals are cool, but the solenoid is very hot. Also got the 12 volt cigarette lighter / power hooked...

    M813 cab heater

    Got the power going to blower. Fired up the truck, let it warm up to temp, heat works awesome. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

    M808/ m818

    Other option is an exhaust brake, works on a similar principle as the jake brake. It is installed after the exhaust manifold with no turbo, or right after turbo if the truck has one. Advantage is that it takes up very little room, but they are quite a bit louder.

    M813 cab heater

    Drained the prep fluid yesterday, poured in the waterless coolant. Fired it up, came up to temp. Did a couple of test drives. Temp gauge read 200 for most of the trips, but then it would start to bounce around then spike to 240. Really made me nervous. So I went and bought an infrared heat...

    M813 cab heater

    Bracket for main heater is done. Not sure if I like how much room it takes up. Might end up installing it in the bed and run ducts into cab. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk
