We wired our yard light only on the grid power side, that way when the yard light is on, grid power is back on. And it helps our local electric coop guys to know if we have power, or are running on jenny power.
I sure would have been nice to have know that they were going to be closed on Friday, now I have to take off work on Monday so I can finallize a purchase from GovPlanet. What a waste.
I have been trying to get ahold of GovPlanet to finalize a purchase from Wed and the phone says they are closed? What? They are supposed to be open til 5pm Pacific.
So am I missing something here? Did I work on a holiday and didnt know it?
I dont think with this build it could pull that many amps, there isnt anyway to load that small squirrel cage that much. I could see how it would pull that much with the original fan and housing, small intake hole size and even smaller exhaust hole size.
I couldn't come up with an easily engineered way of using the whole fan and air chute. The 5T has a big square hole and the fan had a small round exhaust outlet. If you figure a way to use the whole fan, I would like to see.
I was was not the seller on fleabay.
Growing up up on a farm, I...
I know the 1st one i built had some engineering 'issues' so I cant run it on high, but low was more than enough to keep the window defrosted at 0*F when we played Sat. morning and it did blow all the bugs and dust out of the defroster which had an old motor running a few hours earlier.
Swamp Donkey here is the write up on the build http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163550-Heater-blower-motor-Mod-with-MRAP-blower&p=1963919#post1963919
I am using the 42 amp version, there is a 28 amp but all the ones I had were going to need lots of works. This one was clean, the smoke had not been let out of the wires yet so it got used.
Check the donor MRAP fan motor to make sure it works. Pin B is battery and Pin E is ground, they are both...
you are correct on 28 amps, the heater CB is 30 amps, so just squeaked under. I only run mine on low, high speed sounds like its going to eat through the fire wall, but this is also the first run, so there will be upgrades.
I had one in SFOR that was in an accident, after all the repairs were completed, called it finished, parked it on the done line, went to deliver vehicle, dead batteries, installed new batteries, it ate a PCB and another set of batteries in less than a week. It had reverse polarity at the...
Got tired of changing heater blower motors, this is the 4th ruined motor between 2 trucks. Used a mrap vent fan, will do a write up when I get to building the 2nd motor. 2nd photo is a comparison between old and new motor sizes
How to do this is written up here...
My vote is for Optima yellow tops, have had 4 in a big truck since 09, 1 on a 50kw onan genny for about 4 years, 1ea in 2 different civ vehicles. I wont buy any other kind.
OK, I have a head scratcher. This was the screen I got after replacing the screen, I had swapped CIM's with another 'B' that I have, and it worked just fine, so I stick the original back in, still no go, soooo it sits on the broke line waiting its turn to get back in the shop. I go out today...
The T from the 5th wheel to the pintle appears to be at the tractor protection valve which is located on the frame just to the front of the air dryer directly below the pogo stick. That would be another place to check.
