I'm at a loss with how to go about the 12 volt conversion. I have studied the wiring diagrams however my wiring set up appears to be different due to the modification implemented prior to my ownership. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
please help, m1010 12volt conversion prep, updated duvac wiring?
I'm currently in the process of a major overhaul of the engine and electrical. At this time I'm prepping to conduct a 12 volt conversion that user Chevymike conducted on his m1010 in which he removed the duvac and wires but kept...
Lavarok, thanks for the diagram. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Conducting a 12volt conversion in the diagram you have drawn would be a matter of connecting the two positives at the duvac, removing the duvac, wire the batteries in parallel, replace the 24volt, and replace the starter?
I'm on the fence right now. I have researched and read many debates over the 12 volt conversion. I understand the benefits of 24volt starter. I'm considering the conversion for the the reason of survival. This vehicle is becoming a backcountry camper, specifically for the winter seasons...
When the photo's were taken the batteries were not in place. That's why the cables were left hanging. I'm in the middle of a good sized tear down and rebuild. I appreciate everyone's response.
. Lavarok thank you for your response. I'm positive that it's a 24 volt alt. The batteries are wired in series. The duvac is getting 24 volts on the entering terminal and 12 volts at the exiting terminal. Attached is a photo of the duvac model number
Winter has lifted here in the Pacific north west. I have been replacing and repairing parts on my m1010 as needed. When I initially acquired the vehicle I noticed a modification to the electrical system had been done. From what I understand the mod had been conducted by the military. The...
i just removed the wires the i belive you are speaking of. on my m1010 they were hooked up to a power bar that was located in the rear comartment on the wall just above the driver side rear wheel wel. it had a positive terminal, a ground terminal, and a few relays. my assumption is that this...
Im big into snowboarding and snowmobiles, majority of my overnights are out in the mountains in washnington. I just got done gutting the ac unit and welded in an extra support frame and made a battery bank with two golf cart batteries, currenty they are supply power to my amps, sub, Deck and...
I like the heater it works great, however i dont like that i have to run the truck to run the heater. Burning to much fuel off and kills that batteries if truck is off. I would like to use the exiting heater and use a 24 volt house battery system and its own fuel source. Im just wondering if...
