This was more of a personal electrical engineering challenge that I wanted to see if I could accomplish, stupid or not. Wanted to mirror it off of more over-the-road commercial electrical systems. A good DC to DC transformer doesn't cost an arm and a leg anymore, either.
I cooked up this...
Really just aiming for simplicity, isolating and clearing out wires out of the charging system and engine bay.
Now I'm wondering if I could use the existing resistors (so long as they're not shot) to run everything that's 12v in the truck and it would probably be easier on the batteries.
What...
I'd have to check and see if that is a 12v draw or 24v draw more in-depth. My surface look at the glow plug circuit diagram leads me to believe that it's 12v because it's "behind" the resistors on the circuit. In which case, I would probably get a second step down transformer dedicated to the...
Interesting, I think I might be able to make something like that work. Just isolate the charging and starting circuit to the bus bars and one-wire it to a step down transformer. There's a couple 24v to 12 transformers on Amazon that say they're rated for up to 100A peak, so I could probably get...
Evening all, relatively new poster and lurker here and, like many other members here, I'm having some issues with the electrical systems on my M1031. I've chowdered up the stator in my P/S 27si alternator and am waiting for a "new" alternator to come in from the parts store so I can rip the...
