Default 24v Electrical Questions

I recently purchased a M997 HMMWV and i need some help with the electrical.
What is 24v and what is 12v? Also does anyone have suggestions for a aux generator?

Welcome to the world of the HMMWV (High Maintenance Money Wasting Vehicals)

Good to see another one of us in So-Cal

Fist thing I would do is get the TM's for your vehical.
You can find the hard bound ones or down load or buy them on CD's.

Almost everything on it is going to be 24 volts.
What year is it?
They do make a 24-12volt alternator for them.

Is your M997 already registered in Calif.?

Whats the exact model #, Is it an A2? Is it stock, was it upgraded? Without pictures or details, it's hard to tell much.

to have it registered in southern Ca. you have to find a private DMV. tell them its a military surplus diesel truck (no smog check certification required)bought from out of state, give them all the docs that you got when you bought it. and pay their service fee and the registration fee. they have their own certified DMV vehicle inspector also if it need to be inspected. ask him directly how much you have to pay him to have it registered to drive it in the street legaly.

PM me, I have a great place to do it. They will give you a temp so you can drive it to them for the VIN verification. They have done my stuff as well as 5 or 6 others. They are in Arcadia.

X2 on the place Brother Will speaks of, great place to deal with! If you get everything squared away with your rig by mid April, you might want to consider joining us for our spring camp out in the desert the weekend of 4/24 So Cal CAMP DIRTBAG Spring run
