Have you done this? Testing Alternators

The M929 mud flaps do have holes in the middle and do fold so you don't rip them off. I have a drawing I made of mine. I'll look it up and post it.

I've already been down these roads. Take a copy of the no tag displayed statute with you. Show it to the LEO that stops you. They will be polite (in my experience) and let you go. As for the CDL, I got mine. My reasoning was if something happens and there's an accident (I have a military...

That's not the reason. It would be easy for them to tell us no night rides. That would not be a deal breaker, most rally attendees that camp in the rally field spend the evening around a campfire visiting with friends.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I can't help myself. How in the hell could the hunters hear the rally over the noise of the motorcycles and atv's running all hours, day or night?

Just remove the washer on the transfer case shift rod that automatically engages the front drive and you won't have any problems using reverse. You can engage the front drive with the switch on the dash if needed.

I thought about doing this. But, how much do you really think you are going to pull the trailer? In the 5 years or so I have had my M373A2, it has had maybe 3,500 miles put on it including when I picked it up. My trailer already has a (never been on the ground) spare and I can buy quite a few...

I noticed a gear shift problem early on with my M929 being slow to go into reverse. It felt like the selector was not going all the way into the reverse position. I discovered that one of the 4 screws that go into the side of the shift tower right below the plastic bezel was too long. Shortening...

The weather this year was perfect. Maybe that was a matter of luck or related to the dates the rally was held. If the weather is better on average for these dates, keep them next year. While it's nice to have the field to ourselves, I don't think we can expect any venue to turn away a paying...

No. Click here. Testing Alternator

Both regulator terminals have to be connected to b+ to turn the regulator on.

It is similar, but not the same. CUCV alternators are isolated ground. The rebuild thread in my signature has pictures so you can see the differences.

The voltage regulator set point is 14.8 volts. If you are within .2 volts, the alternator(s) is working ok.

Will changing the gears effect the trucks off road ability if that is a concern? How much are you going to drive it every year? I would consider realistically, how many $ you are going to save every year, and how many years it will take to recoup your investment. If you are going cross country...

Yes, that's an isolated ground alternator. The voltage should not exceed the regulator set point which is 14.8. I would give it about 0.20 volt variation, but 15.25 is a little high. It should also reach the set point voltage at idle if the battery is good. Check connections on the regulator...
