Maybe !! Two 12v batteries in series, receiving 24v charging current from any source, drop voltage just like two resistors/loads in series. The amount dropped depends on the relative charge level of each battery. If they are balanced, by being equally charged/discharged, each will drop/see...

Thanks Amber and Aaron. Here is a Youtube video of the parade taken by Joanne. It starts a little early. Didn't have time to edit the beginning. I have a higher quality copy. If anyone wants one I can burn it to a DVD. Enjoy Gary

Parade Info: Directions for those who don't make it to Aaron's prior to parade line-up and go directly to the parade: Directions: From the north (I-5 southbound) Take exit #72 Right onto Rush Rd Left at stop sign (still Rush rd) Up the hill (maybe two miles) Left onto E. Stella St. Next...

I'll be there with the Amphicar -- The M715 is staying home. Look forward to seeing you Al. Gary

I agree !! This system has the ability to service either or both batteries and the vehicle load based on-demand. It seems to be a good alternative when compared to the expensive battery equalizers like the one liked below: ANALYTIC 50A, 24V, (VOLTAGE IN / 2), BATTERY EQUALIZER See my...

You are reading 24v battery voltage to ground. What is the voltage from post to post on the alt (not post to ground). Running and not running. See this post by warthog. It is the simplest method of determining if the problem is with the truck wiring or the alt...

Sounds like the wire connecting the two batteries together has a bad connection. Check the voltage from the + on the front battery to the – on the rear. If the connection is good it will read near zero. If bad it will read something near 12v. Good luck!

Forget what I said above about the ignition switch because there would have to be another failure for this to be true. Because as soon as you turn the battery switch to the off position power in removed from the ignition switch. Just remove either end of the heavy lead going between the...

Well this is a possibility If there were a short internal to the ignition switch it would act as you describe. Easy to Check: With the switch OFF and all three wires disconnected you should have an OPEN circuit between pins R and S. If not it is shorted. Funny: The above linked diagram...

Most likely what cbvet said above -- you know how to check this out with a meter. The below is not the answer but a good read: http://www.tpub.com/content/trucks5ton/TM-9-2320-260-20/TM-9-2320-260-200049.htm This page says: "D PROTECTIVE CONTROL BOX Prevents engagement of starter motor...

Well I'm looking at this wiring diagram now and I'll let you know if I see any possibilities. http://www.tpub.com/content/trucks5ton/TM-9-2320-260-20/TM-9-2320-260-201328.htm

Don't blame ya' there guys, I wouldn't either. I still have though, if you decide to use it.

I have the light rack - if you want it? See posts #71 and #72 in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/34170-pnw-2009-first-annual-chehalis-river-valley-mv-convoy-8.html#post382582 Just let me know.

Ok!! I just talked to the guy who has the setup and we can borrow it back. The signboard is not painted on one side -- it can be painted with whatever you want it to say. You'll need a 12v source and a method of mounting. I can get this to Aaron well in advance of the July convoy, if...

Crud! I just gave one of these away last week but I'm sure I can borrow it back for your convoy. It has 12v amber flashing lights facing front and back. Has a sign rack for a wide load signboard (probably could be repainted for the convoy). It has brackets that attach to the rain gutter rail...

Mike --- What are you looking for here -- amber flashing lights or what?

The 82 drop-side WO/W went for $2,026 The 65 W/W – LDS went for $2,034 I didn't get one either Mike!! They were beyond my (wife's) budget. If the buyers are not aware of the swapped pictures, it should be a pleasant surprise for both because the trucks are both well worth the money IMHO.
