    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    it’s not a split system, per sey....any hmmwv can add a 200amp gen and you have the capability. the 200amp is the standard for ALL trucks...60amp is out of the system. even than...most accessories don’t draw enough noticeable amps to make a difference anyway.

    Looking for replacement bearing and seal for Water Pump 12557071.

    The WP in a hmmwv is a standard GM pump, has no less than 5 or more various part numbers. its used worldwide, this pump should be no problem to just about anywhere I would figure. dont attempt to look for it by that one part number, look up the NSN 2930-01-353-5794 and see every part number ever...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    so what your saying is AM General did it wrong and the internet experts way of doing it is the correct way? yea, I don’t think so....OEM pulls all 12v from the rear battery, the job of the 14v tap off the regulator is to correct any imbalance, it’s clearly working in how many current hmmwv’s. As...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    Not sure what this “Lower battery” is...it’s either a front or rear battery in reference to the truck. pull direct from the “Rear battery, both pos and negative, never use body as a ground. To make it easier, run a positive and negative to a good Marine grade fuse block, as high up as possible...

    Harness Question 6.5 NA to 6.5 TD

    You can, but I don’t, the turbo harness routes to the front of the motor and is preformed to route that way. Many of the connections move to different spots, some are even eliminated as turbo trucks moved those connections to the body harness, either way, you will require splicing some connections.

    4l80 engine braking

    The way to test the TC lockup is tap the brake pedal at about 45-50mph, you should have a surge of Rpm’s as the TC unlocks, Keep your foot on the gas pedal at the same time you tap the brake.
