thanks for your reply, as i stated im not a big fan of converting the truck but i fear that the FD or PO of this truck started a 12V conversion and i do not at this time know what has been changed over so if i put the truck back to 24V i have fear of ruining the electrical system of the truck...

thanks for the visit Mr. Ahab okay, so ive been thinking more on it today, if i were to remove the drivers side connections to the alt and secure the wiring that would/should/is possibly the last step in the 12v conversion that should repair/temporarily fix the issues im having with the over...

like i said i do appreciate all of the help up to now, dont know why im not getting more information, not sure if i somehow pissed them off or? Hrmm

well now im even more confused... i went through the roscommon 12v conversion and decided to take a look at the alternator wiring to see how easy it would be to just swap it over to 12V to be certain that it was at least a baseline to start from, well steps 1 - 5 appear to have already been...

Sweet thanks!

Thanks doghead, couldn't find them when I didn't know what they were called

so here is what im seeing for the wiring from the old GP resistor, it is wired from the bus bar to the solenoid directly, is this for 12v operation of the GP circuit and removal of the GP Resistor? or is this wired incorrectly? my head is swimming in information from all of the reading i am...

FLU Farm i appreciate all of the help you are giving me, i just want to make sure that the truck is still 24v before possibly frying a 12v starter ($200) i will look further in the morning to see how they removed the resistor pack on a 24 volt system and still have surviving glow plugs in the...

so the solenoid on the starter would actuate at 16 volts? i thought it would require much higher in order to actuate and to actually turn over the motor, as it sits now the truck turns over almost if not as well as my 2010 expedition. do you or anyone know what a 24v truck sits at in neutral...

Here's an interesting question if the Batts are only at 12v would they even turn a 24v starter?

Yeah nothing comes up, I'll have to mess with it more this week hoping to get more insight, both alts appear to be hooked up as 24v glow plug resistor removed (pretty chilly here) and Batts hooked up in parallel. Side note should I be hearing the glow plug card or solenoid clicking in the cab...

Hmm I can't seem to find the info for a 12v starter to see if it's been swapped all I can find is from my understanding the function of the glow plug resistor is to allow the 12v glow plugs to be attached to the 24v side but only supply 12v to them to keep them from popping, with the resistor...

However if the resistor pack is removed won't 24v cause all of my glow plugs to fry?

No doubt but I don't know how the truck has been rewired now I'm hoping the PO just didn't realize what he did and everything else is still setup at 24v then yes switching the Batts is an easy fix but if like 50% has been converted to 12 and the other 50% is still 24 I don't want to fry...

Well with the glow plug resistor is pulled shouldn't I just complete the 12 volt conversion at this point, but then I would have to replace the starter and other components as well

question for the electrical guru's so im working on starting to look into the electrical gremlins on this truck but i am uncertain if its still set up 24 v or if its been converted to 12 v so heres the situation Wired + to + and - to - with the engine off both batts read at about 16v...

Fair enough... I kinda like the ability to sample oil if I want to have it tested not sure if i would actually use it or not though, something to consider

Interesting so his engine built enough pressure to blow a steel line hmm

Anyone know the nsn or even better a civy replacement part number mine leaks maybe a class 1 leak but a leak none the less... Sorry to rez a dead post but hey that's what search is for

So June 3rd - 4th wont work for me, had another event i had forgotten about... We still havent locked down the event date, will probably wait until the "Planning meeting" next month
