One foot of space where there was otherwise none is huge. It could be the difference of mounting an A/C evaporator outside or inside the cab (3rd seat loss). If you don't plan on driving deep water, then you can simply remove the intake snorkel from the air cleaner housing on up. Exhaust...

The majority or all of those are going to be J-180 shorts. Most older MD and HD alternators are J-180 mount type, from most manufacturers, not just Delco. You can probably mount a short type alternator in a long type bracket, but I would use a grade 10.9 engine fastener when doing so. I did...

The military factory alternator mount is called a J-180 "long" or "swung" type mount (8" between double ears). It is mostly only used on bus engines in the US and Europe in the civilian market. I have brand new 145 amp 24V alternators that are direct bolt in and go for this mount. Also have a...

I believe you. Looked to be aluminum at first sight.

The heater blower "LO" side of the blower switch is power by 12V through the dash battery switch from 1/2 the battery bank. Tap that, and your circuit will shut off when the truck is shut down. Gravy job, with nothing to buy.

...and to the posts regarding guns in the crane thread: :derailed:

Just a quick shot of the visual difference between the 30K (cab) and 60k (cargo bed) multi-fuel fired heaters.

An 83,000lb tow bar? That's like, a really heavy tow bar..... :)

Really? Seems heavy and expensive vs aluminum. The paint is flaking off mine, maybe I'll kiss it with a grinding wheel and see if it sparks.

Don't use stainless steel on a mobile application. Stainless is one of my favorite materials, but mobile fuel tanks are typically made of softer metal so they don't crack. Stainless steel is prohibited from use in marine fuel tanks specifically for this reason. I'm not sure, but the Mack ones...

I would not do a cross over due to the possibility of overflow on the lower tank if you park on the side of a hill. My tank is always empty anyway, but just sayin'....

Can I bother somebody with the military A/C add on kit to PM me? I'd like to see the inside of the evaporator box, to see if it could be mounted horizontally with vents pointing down such as on the cab roof. I have seen it here mounted horizontally with vents pointing up in another thread. I...

After 6 hours of driving, you don't need to eat/walk/take a leak?

That's she said.

The OP has still not said what vehicle, I don't think he is that interested in really doing so.

I have this kit, uninstalled, and I am now going a different direction which uses the serp belt compressor pulley. I'll list it for sale in the classifieds.

I don't mean to throw a wrench in the works here, but $850 and even $500 seems like a lot of money just for a mount. I'm looking to ditch my working MV 60 amp alternator with one of higher quality and greater output, and in doing so, need to change the mount (MV uses SAE J-180 "long", which is...

Check my thinking, but one could also add one of these to any one of the 4 rear hubs in order to make the truck single rear axle drive, therefore eliminating any wind-up that occurs between the intermediate and rear axle. So, a decent setup of this on a 9 series would be to buy 3 per truck...
