    Delco 24v alternator bracket modification

    Ok, that is not hard at all. A little fabrication and you are in business. Interesting approach and comparing the cost of a newly refurbished alternator, this option is more realistic. I dont need to worry about mudding or burying my rig up to the glass in water, the most moisture it will...

    Delco 24v alternator bracket modification

    You are saying, this $100 alternator will mount to and operate a M998? A modified mount is all that is required? How did you wire it exactly, I mean my alternator is dying and I really cant afford $600 for a replacement. The threads I have been reading talk about the dual 12 and 24, 200amp...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Alt upgrade?

    Thank you Wire Fox for giving me the definite answer even if it was not the answer I was hoping for. The alternator should be delivered tomorrow and Oshkoshequipment does not offer returns. So, I need to think of something because I have no use for the alternator and still need to buy a...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Alt upgrade?

    Ok, I didnt realize there was a difference and the alternator should be delivered in a couple of days. Yes this alt is for a M1074, a nice huge ten wheel vehicle. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3262715660_d2d04b21a4.jpg I will call niehoff and when I asked Osh on ebay before buying it, I...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Alt upgrade?

    I just ordered a 200amp 12 24v for my 1987 M998. I just bought the truck and it would increase rpm and the alternator would start and slam the voltage into the high red line for 5 to 15 seconds each cycle. It was recommended by a good guy here and this is what I bought...

    Broke halfshaft in the field. Options please...

    I am sorry but, I have no idea how to find the -34P tech man. I found the parts lists and manuals but I cant find the UOCs or the part number. These manuals are speaking in a language I have seen for the first time 29 hours ago. I found the halves and searched the part numbers and it just...

    Ok, thank you so much Wire. I am totally new to this vehicle and everything. I watched a couple of videos on youtube of changing rear end components and it looks straight forward enough. I have no idea what the TM is or where to find it, I bet its a tech manual and is in the resources...

    Ok, I tested the charge voltage. Idle sits about 23.6 to 24.4 volts, when the engine kicks in and hits the generator the voltage spikes to 30.4-32.8 volts for any time between five seconds to 25 seconds. The two batteries are dated 05-16 so they are newer than I expected. My insurance...

    Thank you for the warm welcoming Dmetalmiki, Bravojmc, Tracer, Postman and Ryanruck. I certainly appreciate the advise and I will be fixing or getting them addressed. 25 gallons seems much more realistic and 12mpg is not bad at all. I had a 68 C10 chevy as my daily runner and I was getting...
