Oh yes, I am very familiar with your threads ! It is also quite helpful (both your diagrams and the knowledgeable members talking through the "why" behind your couple of revisions). Did you do an ELA and decide you needed 200A ? That Leece Neville A0014740JB is a really awesome alternator...

Thanks, appreciate that correction. Quite familiar with ohms and kirchoffs laws and shouldnt have made such a rookie error ! I mostly deal with micro controllers and stepper motors kind of stuff. Haha you're telling me... I feel like a fire would be more costly though. Not sure that's ever...

Interesting, thanks for confirming what I thought its purpose was. I guess my question is, why not use a replaceable fuse ? Not a "critical" system and can confine the failure to a fairly open area (near the PPD) ? Ahh, thanks. I'm an aspiring schematic reader and not quite there yet. This...

WTF is this ? Is this normal ? I tried searching the forums and using google with "site:" prefix and not sure what to make of this... It was attached to the top lug of the PPD (fed directly from batts or alt). Is this normal ? I know what this cable is for (INLET AIR HEATER), but not...

Found all of your 28SI alternator posts here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/alternate-alternator-selection.217277/post-2557020 Pretty much the exact setup I was searching for. I will be knocking that off completely if/when my 100A Neehoff dies. Hoping to extend its life a bit by...

And you also did an update to it ! And have returned your cooling system to something more commercial with your 3116. I'm a huge fan and have learned a lot from your posts, so thank you. The diodes may be in the cab, or the battery box. Depends on what seems like the cleanest install...

I wonder if it is still that way on the early A1 trucks... I know the answer to this is to investigate and find out, but haven't put the time into that yet. Went ahead and ordered 3 of those diodes (so I can torch one). I think this is more or less how I want to do it. I'll cross the...

Thank you for taking the time to explain this in yet another thread ! Poor wording on my part, with "providing reverse current protection to the alternator or suppressing voltage spikes from 12v/24v cab circuitry ?" Two separate questions, which I edited in the original post. Could it be...

Fixed good sir. Thanks for the correction !

Nice setup, and thanks for the drive link to your diagram. Really like Victron stuff and plan to use "the blue stuff" during the build. Working on a diagram in Visio right now to see how I think it should be, and will reference your diagram as well !

That all checks. It really is that last part that has me going "hm... what are we missing ?". I was talking with an old radar maintainer who works for us about this, and he had a little chuckle and went "I wonder if, during their initial prototype/proof of concept phase, someone had a whoopsie...

I have a 2002 M1078A1 (really an A0.5 since no batt disconnect and has the Polarity Protection Device vs the Load Balancing Battery Control Device). I have been investigating my PPD and battery cables due to age and an intermittent D1323 ( ECU INPUT VOLTAGE HIGH ) "CHECK TRANS" that will...
