I'm not sure what trans/transfer he is going to use but I have been beating on a 7/10K drive train (diffs/axles) 2.56 gears with over 400HP and well over 700ftlb of torque without being able to break anything, just turned 17K on the conversion
I am assuming he is starting with a 12k truck with...
Also you can unplug one of the leads to the thermal switch, that should also force the fan to run, That will test the cadillac valve and TDM, if it runs all the time with one lead unplugged on the thermal switch but will not run when the engine gets to the point it starts to actually over heat...
It took 7 mo on one Army M1097A1, then 5 days after I picked up the last Army M1097R1 that I bought the SF97 was in my mail box.

That is a 60A, bad regulators are very common and cause the exact symptoms you describe, replace the brushes also.
It should be obvious once you get the gen apart, there are usually some burnt components.
You also really should download the TMs and read the schematics, just guessing as you go is a good way to spend allot more money.
That large "red" wire goes to the 28V output terminal on the alt itself.
It is perfectly normal for the trans light to be on when the engine is not running but the...

Yes, take mrfarb advice as there are allot of chicom knock off parts out there for the HMMWV, some look very convincing and all chicom electrical parts are crap.
If you are reading 25V then the alt is not making anything, that is just the battery voltage.
99% of the time it is a regulator, the alternators are RARELY the problem, but of course you want to troubleshoot before spending money, throwing parts at a problem is never the answer.
You should have...
