You girls still live here? ;0

That’s a separate new thread topic, and you’ll get a wide variety of responses on this topic, but the original military design and installation of pulling 12v in these trucks is to just take it off of the ground side battery with no regard to balancing anything.

Not a fixed number. The 250 installs are pretty much backyard brew. Of the available pullies, some have different offsets. So, the amount of pulley offset will coincide with however you are configuring your bracket.

Easiest way is to install 16.00 tires and turn up the injection pump. Add an EGT gauge to not melt the engine down.

My brothers right here.

Not yet. Probably this summer. Don’t want to rush. ;) Do you still have a stack of them?

I use half a can of WD-40 with its straw. Literally put that much down there. Keep pulling the cable out and letting it snap back as you do it.

Mine feels good, stock oil, don’t feel anything. The torque converter could not unlock fast enough on a hard brake where wheels would slide. Engine stall, loss of steering assist, truck goes sideways and rolls over. Fix was to add ABS to all the trucks which cured this issue.

That might not get people to help you.

Email me: detroitdiesel671@hotmail.com I make them for LDT/S 465, NHC 250, 6CTA8.3, 8V92, and others, in both 12 and 24v. Nothing for 6.2/6.5L V8 Humvee.

New thread.

Sorry, I don’t support the antiquated stock alternators at all. They have 4 common main failure modes, and the modern ones have fail-safe strategies integrated into them. They just work perfect, are low cost, and enable you to shut the truck off safely in any switch order. Others here may...

Glad you have it figured out, new alternator works proper, and high indicated voltage was causes by weak voltmeter batteries.

Only half backwards then. ;)

Some differing things here, but I have no problem politely bowing out. I was on my way out the door anyway. OP, glad you have most of your stuff resolved.

LOVE YOU LONG TIME BRO !!!! OP never blamed, I just magically get sucked into dam near everything.

Hooking stuff up reverse polarity doesn’t help, but at least you were honest about it. Not sure what is damaged or not. Check the alternator running voltage again both hot and cold later once you have things in better shape. At idle and raised RPM as well. The regulator may or may not be...

I was referring to your dash gauges working with the dash battery switch turning on/off as being perfect, as you said it formerly did not do that. There is a lot more going on with this truck than just the alternator. Owner said he had to drive it on the stock over-charging alternator for a...

Not if they are brushless, which most are. The brushless ones have very low idle output. Up to you, I have one here if you want, but I think you are better with the one you just received. People tend to get hung up on the total output number, rather than output at idle, and then they get mad...

Mixed opinions. The larger alternators do fit and work, but do not charge at idle. I would say it depends more on your intended usage of the inverter. What is its rated (not peak) watts, and how many watts do you intends to use, and for how long? Also, when would you be using those watts...
