Wes (a member here.... and founder of the yellow parts spread sheet at top of this forum.... who did the video you linked) is a pretty well regarded member here. He knows the practical man's backyard; keep it running and working, surgery and maintenance of the 3116 better than most anyone.

by your description of how alt. regulator....... regulates... Too large an alt. for amount of batts is not really an issue in that no potential damage is happening anywhere. It is a waste. YES, . but won't slowly or quickly brick anything alt. or battery related....... where opposite as you...

Service/Start. so the 140 wont back down when it senses what ever is there is full? was going to go to just two 12v agm. I have a small 100amp 24v.... but was hoping to put that on my APU

Balmar 94-140-24-IG w/external regulator MC 624.. likely not the newer version that has lithium charge parameter choice built in. house .... I can match batts to alternator. Was thinking two large 24v AGM or four 12v. BUT........ my lithium is in the mix..... A dc to dc(ish) device is connected...

Possible solution fell in my lap. little more than wanted to spend but solves couple problems. Two Balamar 24v 140amp alternators with regulators. Price was so good got second one as spare. Pull outs from a military boat apparently. Already have some Bussman converter/balancers I can...

how much of 28v output though is indirectly lost though when you send some juice away thru a converter to create some 12-14v out of the 24-28v bank (with LMTV in mind). Alternator still has to produce enough power to full fill all needs. Such as the dual volt 200amp is think you guessed...

what activates the clutch? Is it electrical clutch?? if so is there sensors that when alt. to hot.... or draging engine down at bad times (say acceleration?) where clutch gets deactivated? Or is it a clutch just to prevent reverse direction like on some Air. Con compressors??

one other symptom.... on occasion it will jump to 26ish volt on dash when driving then go away 5 to 20 min later. does that sound like alternator or regulator?

could be. troubleshooting doc says..... get another known working regulator to test the existing one lol. ohhhhhhhKKKKK like that is simple... Anyone by miracle have a known working regulator for this beasty?

Have picked up several 12/24 bussman convertors when saw them on sale for inevitable issue to arise like this. one to just balance batteries and other incase this alt goes out. will check .... about converting.... it is a price game of cost of neihoff regulator, alt., or both (if it is one...

Cabs up.... a review of a video that showed which terminal is what on regulator. It appears that the one closest to corner on side of the regulator is IGN and the AC terminal is the one more central. Was questioning myself about if the IGN and the Excite is the same thing. Further reading...

nope..... no marks... at all. but before above postings in a review of a video that did show one marked... it appears that the one closest to corner on side of the regulator is IGN/excite and the AC as the one more central. That and was not sure if the IGN and the Excite is the same thing...

transfered a 200amp hummer alt to my LMTV few years ago. All been good. All the sudden it has stopped charging. Does not reach 28v at bats (or on dash) and does not reach 14v. Anyone have diagnostic hints?? like which one on this alt. is the excite wire? Figure will need to asses if it...

as in- pump to raise up further first ? ??

no. its a 200amp dual volt unit off a Hummer

well since could drive the VW again... have not dove into this till today since not driving truck at moment. Before start on this adventure. today: -each batt by chassis showed 12.64 volts which appears to me to 100% SOC - each batt out out most end of batt box showed 12.4v or 80% SOC Swapped...

Adding to the Be Careful Out There thread. This one did not end up as well as the above. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/video/2-adults-killed-3-children-injured-when-converted-bus-rolls-down-hill-on-pingree-park-road/

unless building the rig is really a huge part of your life enjoyment..... Then remember "take a break" from building it and drive the rig, enjoy the camping with friends and loved ones.
