We have three lmtvs all with bad alternators. Two of the m1078s have had them replaced in the last three years. I have sent two of them to neihoff authorized service centers and the parts that have failed are sealed in epoxy meaning can't be serviced. Spoke with neihoff directly. Any alternators or parts have to be purchased through a distributor and must have clearance from d.o.d. which takes 18 to 22 weeks. This is what I was told by neihoff. Honestly I wouldn't want to be on a trip with this truck and have an alternator failure again. Not worth the headache. I sleep easier knowing Napa will have repair parts. Regardless, for those interested i will post the information aboutbthe company im workimg with and pictures as soon as I have the aftermarket unit installed. Unit will be a direct bolt on with filtration. And you will not need the charge controller located by the spare tire.

Will a N1228 alternator fit the 1078

Sort of when I get back to Colorado I will be working on this will keep ya posted

This is what I found 12/24 volt 105 amp so this is the wiring thats on it I blew it up to read it

 

[GeneralDisorder]

Why go to all the bother of modifications to the mounting and wiring to only get 5 more amps? If your going to do it, get at least a 200 amp alternator.

 

[deckerfire]

Well I got lucky scored a 200 amp alternator for $650 so when I get home it will be there will keep you posted

They used to sell parts, but stopped as far as I know….. my understanding is they only support their customers now.

Never seen one of those before. The ID plate in one of your pics says made for Cummins. Delco discontinued production of the 30SI, but you could probably still get parts for it, well maybe not for the dual volt circuitry/control portion… I way prefer commonly available/in stock, to expensive unobtanium…

What 200A did you wind up with?
