Thanks for your reply. The accessory pulls 6 amps constant at 24 volts. I will pull the power from the 24V buss and ground through a relay and fuse. For now, I want to keep the identity of the accessory secret until I make sure my invention will work. If it does, it will revolutionize the...
Thanks for your reply. I would still like to know the maximum amperage constant that each alternator can support. For instance, if I were to run an inverter, smal refrigerator, and headlights all at at the same time. Just need to calculate the amperage draw to make sure the alternators can...
I am considering the addition of a few electrical accessories which will run while my truck is running (switch-activated). The amperage draw will be around 6 amps constant.
Question - what is the amperage production of either alternator at idle? Will the 100-amp-hour alternator replenish...
In regards to those M16 bolts, yes they were cheaper at my local John Deere place. There are some of those on Ebay but whoever is selling them must think they no longer make 'em or something. I think I paid a couple dollars for them at John Deere.
That brace rod which runs from the side of the NP208 to the engine block is GM part #14020856. They are on Ebay all the time. Search np208 brace rod in Ebay Motors. The bolts are usually on there as well, however you can pick these up at a John Deere place new a little cheaper. They are...
I've been asked about how I plan to hook up all the gauges, pre-oiler, fuel filter, TV cable, etc on the rear of my engine. So I thought I would simply take a photo and then label the things for everyone to see. The photo is un-labeled; click on the PDF to download/see the labeling.
To expand on what Chevy Mike said, if you plan to keep the rear proportioning valve in the braking system, it needs to be adjusted properly. There is a little dot (see photo) on the black circular disc which surrounds the splined shaft. With the truck fully assembled but with no load (empty...
I removed my rear proportioning valve years ago when I installed rear disc brakes. Easy, just connect the main line running rearward with the boss on the rear axle that sends fluid to each rear wheel. My truck stops on a dime, even going backwards. Interestingly, I have not replaced the front...
I just now looked on Parker Racor's website and confirmed that the 660 ports are 3/8"-18 NPT. You might want to verify that the fittings you have are actually 3/8" NPT and that the female orfices have not been opened/rethreaded by somebody else. If it were me I would try a hardware store...
In 1988 GM issued a bulletin to remove that rear proportioning valve. It was Bulletin #88-320-5. Not saying you should or shouldn’t, just trying to be helpful. I removed mine years ago after I installed rear disc brakes.
Also it may be helpful to others here on SS if you can post the specific...
Just thought I would add to this thread a bit. After having and recovering from another heart attack last August, I managed to get my NP241c mounted on the back of my Bowtie 700R4 in February. Everything worked as it should with no issues, except a leaky front output shaft on the 241. This...
The thinnest MDO comes is 3/8". Your Homey Depot should have it. If not they can bring in a sheet from another branch -

This is important. Mark my words. Just trying to help.
Instead of Birch plywood, you may want to consider using Medium Density Overlay plywood (MDO). Speaking from over 50 years in the architectural millwork business, I can attest that Birch plywood will not provide satisfactory performance in the application you are describing. MDO plywood is also...
