    Dual Voltage Alternator Install on a Deuce

    I just went out to the shop and looked, it's the 200 amp model. Thanks for the thread links Clinto, I had read those. I was really looking for photos of someone that had installed a 200 amp on an A2 Deuce. If this won't work, I'll take it back and just do George's (TM America) add a alternator kit.

    Dual Voltage Alternator Install on a Deuce

    I read a few threads about this but didn't find any photos or text covering the actual installation. I procured a 12/24 Niehoff unit today and would like to know what I'm getting into. Somebody has to be a better "searcher" than me.

    MEP-003 hooked to the house

    This is what is installed on my system. Fairly inexpensive, and prevents liability issues. Here is a link: http://natramelec.com/

    Replace or Re-use the Connecting rod bolts

    I agree with Mike and Kyle. The insignificant cost of new nuts and bolts should definitely set your mind at ease.

    Total Brake Failure on my Air over Hydraulic Tacoma

    I don't think he ever saw your post (#2) in the thread, looks like he was gone a minute before you wrote it. It's interesting when folks will describe a brake problem and not even hang around, or come back within a hour or two to see if anyone responded. I just hope he does some research and...

    I see lots of asthetic issues, the question will receive a more accurate answer when you get it running. In the mean time, lose that big chrome mirror.

    24v Battery chargers

    I keep a maintainer on my Deuce during the Winter...some of the time the weather is not cooperative for driving, nor condusive for battery health.

    R.I.P.--ARMYMAN30YearsPlus--David Frankenhauser

    Every January since his passing, I think of him. Although I never met and shook the man's hand, I felt like I had known him for years...I'm sure that's the impression he left in most people's minds. Rest easy David, God has your six now.

    I have (2) of the Model 12117's on my 003A, one on each battery. I just disconnect one side of the dogbone, and it's worked well for me for about 4 years now.

    24v Battery chargers

    Are you charging or maintaining? For maintaining, I wouldn't use anything above a 2 amp maintenance charge.

    dash light upgrade?

    If you would be game to remove the instrument panel and gauges, painting the back-side of the panel gloss white helps put the light back into the gauges.

    Red Footwell lights

    The thought of adding the footwell lights has crossed my mind a few times. I pondered the idea of having a door switch to turn them on upon opening either door, and an override switch so you could have them on with the doors closed...much like the courtesy lights in a civilian vehicle. I'll stay...

    1/0 Welding Cable for use as slave cable

    The ampacity tables do seem to indicate that. Before yesterday, I had not looked at the ampacity of welding cable, so I got a little education myself.

    1/0 Welding Cable for use as slave cable

    The larger the number, smaller the wire rule works until you get down below AWG (American Wire Gauge) #1. With 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 the wire progressively gets larger as the number increases. After 4/0, the numerical measurement is the cross section of the conductor in circular mils. For instance...
