DUVAC user guide
Here is an old DUVAC user guide, which is pretty good reading for anyone curious about the system. It's not the exact vintage of the CUCV stuff, but the concept is the same.
Yes, that is right. But, to get the 200 amps of 24V power they wanted, and to be able to provide 12V power to run the rest of the truck, they decided to run it with the dual alternator setup and use one of them, along with the DUVAC, to balance the system. Or so they thought... :)
Try my old "fix" of swapping the front and rear (red and orange) wires of the DUVAC and see what you get. It is probably not posted here, but I do have a lot of documentation on this system from back when I had one and dealt with this issue that I will post up, if it helps.
I remember a friend telling me that he spoke to someone who swore it worked as advertised when he had a heavy 24V load, which most hobbyists would not be able to replicate. I have no confirmation of this behavior, but it was what I heard second hand.
