can do two seperate with new brackets.... or as mentioned earlier with "double-Alt" which is a 12v and 24v alt. stacked back to back and sharing a single shaft.

Someone please put an amp meter on the 28v and 14v output and see what you get. It has been reported.. but not clarified... that these alternators are "adverse condition" 100 amp rated.... and may well put little to significantly more amps out when NOT in adverse conditions. Am curious to...

so the alternator does some charging at 14v (as described above) for this one bank that has the 12v draw... and also charges the whole bank at 28v?

LBCD - Load Balance Control Device. (that thing under the spare tire that also acts as a reverse polarity protection)

Do I understand right that overall the 14v output is so low (except when lights are on) that in effect the alternator is putting 90%+ of all its amp output on the 24v leg. In the Niehoff Alternator application on these trucks there is no 14v leg used for battery charging... The OEM bank of...

Seem to recall the discussions on this now. thanks to you and TennMogger for jarring my memory. IMHO since the existing alternator charges ONLY at 24v.. with wiring and items as they are switching to a different 24v alt with higher output really causes you no disadvantage.... seems more of an...

hmmmm....... don't recall anyone doing this,. but maybe I got early onset Oldtimerz disease?? If the system is working..... why would you want to change anyway?? now if you have to redo things cause it's not working... then that certainly is one possible way to solve things. Do recall...
