    Putting a HMMWV 400 AMP alternator on a Cummins NHC250. Has anyone done it? Need info

    Does you NHC250 have room for it? On mine the cooling system is in the way due to the transmission oil cooler. Can you post a good picture of the passenger side of your engine?

    Putting a HMMWV 400 AMP alternator on a Cummins NHC250. Has anyone done it? Need info

    Yes I picked it up by hand to remove it from the plastic carrier they shipped it in. Cannot do that in the install phase! Now who is gonna come up with the solution? (Might have to borrow some cooling system parts from the M818 version of the engine)

    Putting a HMMWV 400 AMP alternator on a Cummins NHC250. Has anyone done it? Need info

    I jumped the gun a bit and was not aware how large the HMMWV alternator is. I ordered one and it came in today. It's a monster! There is no way i can install it on the M923 with the NHC250 without some modifications. There are engine cooling components that are in the way. I need some help...

    goldneagle's M923 plus M109 Camper hybrid mod thread...

    Ye the only problem with ordering online is not seeing the product in person to be able to judge the quality of the item. I am looking at a toilet/shower combo base but do not know how strong and durable the plastic is. I will have to find a supplier down here that I can go to and hopefully...

    Today I replaced one of the air brake hoses on the front driver side wheel. I noticed the outer rubber skin was pealing near the crimped fitting. I had purchased a replacement hose yesterday, but had to return it because it was not tough enough. The hoses the military are steel braided like...

    I wish some of you experienced guys would come through with some suggestions on what to use in the build (instead of waiting for me to put in an idea and either agreeing or shooting it down) I am sure there are a lot of members that have or used campers and can point me in the right direction...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Maybe you can put a sliding drawer or tray on the bottom portion for cooking (depending on the temperature inside) and insulate the top of it for storage above the cooking area.

    No I never planned to put the A/C on the DC circuit. I already have a ONAN Emerald 4000 generator and a flat aluminum boat fuel tank I was thinking of using. Another generator that i own and might use is a HONDA 4000 watt inverter generator set. Both units are gasoline unit but might be able...

    I got the bypass coolant filter and housing today as well as the LED light strip. I tested the light strip in my home using a 12 volt DC power supply. WOW it really gives out some light! I tried it with only a few feet of strip out of the spool and it lit up the area pretty good. So it looks...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Actually the last time I saw that idea was American Pickers. Frank Fritz tried to cook some food on the engine on one of their trips with mixed results.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Maybe a barbeque above the engine. You can place the meat on the BBQ before you start on a trip an let the engine heat cook the meat. By the time you reach the destination the meat is ready to eat! (you did say to keep in mind the heat from the engine) :burn: :doghead:

    I was going by memory. I guess my memory isn't that good! Nice picture! I take my comment of lowering the doghouse back. But the compliments stay! :tank:

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I would like to make a comment here. First I would like to say that your work is amazing! I looked at the profile picture above and i think i would have kept the engine cover lower than the cab. I think the coolness of the Hemtt is the cab out there on it's own. If the engine cover was...

    Good info there. I am going with those LED light strips since they only pull about 24 watts of power per 16 feet. I want to test them to see how much light they put out so I can plan accordingly. If you don't mind I will keep you in mind if I need advice on the 12 volt setup. :driver:
