I’m 4 wheels 28,000 lbs 3126 with 330hp tune. With my 3.90 gears and eco hubs 6th gear shifts in around 60MPH. I tried grabbing 7th but after hitting 80mph I gave up. I topped off the 200 gallon tank and drove the 800 miles but haven’t filled it back up to determine the actual fuel mileage. But...
Agree, I’ve travelled 25,000 miles on the 3.07 gears. But my last short trip with the newly installed eco hubs of 800 miles…..so so different sound level, much easier to have a conversation. The fuel mileage. Totally different experience.
Sorry I have 1st gen and 2nd gen diagrams. Not your newest version. But most likely you’ll be making new connections because most likely your truck harness was built before your air conditioner.
I’m starting to feel the larger dual voltage alternator as a my choice. Never been about money. For me I like to way all options fully understand each then decide.
but which dual bolt alternator. I’ve seen the 200 amp humvee as another option.
So another thought. Can you leave the original 12v load wire connected to the LBCD and connect the 24-12 battery equalizer to the 12v battery terminal?
This is my battery configuration.
Thanks Matt
I think this question got overlooked.
Here’s the question that I find difficult to answer.
Why charge the same batteries with 24v and 12v?
With the 4 batteries in series parallel I’ve actually charged all four batteries with a 12v charger and with a 24v charger at separate times...
Keeping on the simple side didn’t you have to do other things to keep the dash indicator lights working properly?
Would love to see diagrams and part numbers of how you solved it.

With the 4 batteries in series parallel I’ve actually charged all four batteries with a 12v charger and with a 24v charger at separate times. Both methods have worked in a pinch.
By the way...
Great information, so that makes it even simpler. I corrected my diagram.
I’m liking this. Also if the 24v to 12v battery equalizer stops working it a quick reconnect and you’re back working again.
I’ve read that if you removed the 12v from the 100 amp Niehoff alternator so you only have a 24v alternator that you can get the full rated amperage out of the 24v?
If this is true, would the simplest solution be remove the 12v from the alternator and battery, connect a 24 to 12 equalizer to...
