I have an M1123. the flex plate got some teeth knocked out of it by the starter. It is the 6.5 mated to a 4l80. How or where would I be able to find the part number/nsn for this part? I heard you can get one from the autozone or Napa. which vehicle do I have them search?
Thank you! This is great information. I think the civilian alternator idea could be something I would entertain in the future but would need guidance on the load balancers and voltage regulation.
So everyone was right it was the regulator. Underneath the epoxy was all cracked. I replaced it and bang...28volts all around. Can the n3118 work on the hmmwv?what other dual voltage units work on our trucks? Any upgrades? The new one is a n3135 from an 1151
update:
1. both batteries together are at about 25v.
2. big red on the alternator is registering about 25v with truck on and running
3. 28v on regulator is registering about 25 with truck on/running.
4. accessory on the regulatory is registering about 12v with truck on/running.
5. 14v lug on...
Update:
Generator: testing at 18-25 and change with the truck running.
Regulator: testing at 10-12 and change with the truck running.
Will post videos of the tests.
1. Yes the charging system did work on this rig for about 2.5 years.
2. You are correct sir, the regulator it remotely mounted.
3. Regulator: when the engine is off, the yellow post on regulator registers the same as rear battery.
4. Both batteries: When engine is off I register about 24v...
Thank you sir for this insight. I have since shifted my suspicion of the culprit. I think now that my batteries are either not getting charged due to a faulty regulator/generator. I am now respectfully requesting guidance on testing regulator and generator sir. everything has been working great...
Alright guys, I have an update. Id like to first express my gratitude for everyone's help with this issue. Any pf you that chimed in and need a couch to crash on in SD, You are welcome and Ill make you my crispy fat rib eye.
Update 1:
1. I disconnected all the peripheral circuits.
2. I tested...
It is the front battery. This time I switched it around to see if the same issue would effect the "good" battery.
The issue is effecting the front battery.
Bottom arrow is positive towards the sound amps. The top arrow I don't know. The wire free floating with the blue shrink wrap is from...
