If you are talking about half shafts the shortest one would be LF, the longest RF and the intermediate would be rear R or L. Coug listed an excellent way to determine load capacity.

Your R1 would be the same for the basic and A1 trucks if it has the reservoir on the pump as far as the steering goes. If it has a 3 speed then it will just about be 100% the same as an M1097A1.

If you only disconnect the negative terminal and then try to pull a 24V load, try to start the vehicle, turn on the lights etc. you can reverse polarity the 12V reg and transmission, they seem to have SOME tolerance for this but if disconnecting battery leads for maint I would also remove the...

You may want to make sure the winch valves are plumbed with the flow in the correct direction, if you have already tested them I doubt they would work installed backwards.

That rig is shaping up real nice!

You are close, only 180 degrees out, the pressure comes from the hydroboost to the winch then to the steering If you have two winches you simply put the two valves in series which is what you did.

Yes, that is why it takes two switched (or a DPST) switch do properly safeguard the system. The scenario above is what we were talking about.

One of the first things a student in electronics/electrical 101 learns is that in order to have current flow one must have a path to and from the source. Because the vehicle is not running the only source is the batteries. A 12V battery in itself is a simple series circuit, 6 cells connected in...

I would like an explanation, if the 14V reg tap and trans tap cannot flow any current to the low side negative terminal because it is disconnected and it cannot flow any current to the 24v pos terminal because it is disconnected then just where would the current flow occur ?

Yes interrupting the ground and 24V hot would do the same thing, no current could flow in any circuit.

No

568 was a left over from the 60A alt days and should have been plugged (capped) off and tied back to the harness.

That U joint is bad at the transfer case, you can clearly see the play in it (at the 2 second time mark), also any time you see red (rust) around a U joint it is likely bad.

What model wiring diagram are you looking for?

I could see that possibility, if the ign. terminal (5A) was back-feeding voltage to the system, but surly by now he has disconnected all the terminals off of the regulator to eliminate that possibility, that was suggested early in this thread.
