I just plan on getting the kit that I see in the classifieds. I don't understand how it could be less efficient when it is putting out the same voltage and ampherage.
I remember our conversation, and when he said, "It pegged out my meter.", I said," It's a 28 volt alternator.", To which his reply was,"Well, it's putting out way more than 28 volts."
I hope so the man has been in business for decades, and he does starters/generators/alternators for everything from your lawnmower to your earthmovers. I think he has pictures of him rewinding some kind of motor in the belly of a ship.
Well, I took the alternator off and took it to a shop. The old man there has been doing business for quite some time, and my Pops told me he would be honest with me. After checking it he told me it was pegging his meter out and that he only had two employees and didn't really have the time to...
As far as I can tell when the truck is not running it will read in the yellow because the voltage will be the 24 you are getting from the batteries. whenthe truck is running the voltmeter should be on the little white mark that is in the green area (the white tick mark indicates approximately 28...
I have the Prestolite 60 amp, 28 volt alternator on my deuce. My voltmeter in the dash started reading in the yellow, so I decided to check it out. At the back of the alternator, if I put my multimeters negative lead on the obvious ground wire, and te positive lead on the big wire under te cover...
Now that I put the Walker muffler on it, almost quiet. I still need to paint it, but I can talk to the passenger at a normal volume without turning my head towards them. Definately the cheapest, first mod to do to a deuce. Now I gotta figure out if the inside dual on the rear tandem is leaking...
I might even consider getting some 365 XZL's just because I don't want to have to worry about the tire rub on a hard right hand turn. Of course, I'm not even sure that size would make a difference, or if I could find that size for the price some of these 395's are going for.
Here it is! I hope it worked.
Yep, it did. I gave $4500 for her, which judging by some of yall's deal, maybe I gave too much for her. But all the tires are in pretty good shape, minus one flat. There is a little bit of grease coming out of the drivers side steering knuckle, and I mean minimal...
I was trying to get new ones that way I wouldn't have to worry about dry rot, plus I would have all the tires at the same wear level from the get-go. But I'm telling you now I'm definately gonna keep an eye out in the classifieds for the 395 XZL's while I get my funds back up. Right now I'm just...
