old topic..... there is a thread on this. thought it sold to a member here? maybe he rejected it based on the miss information??

search in this thread for my name..... I asked about bolt sizes in the ECO .. In OEM setup you can use one to stick in axle end to help pull it out. He said same bolt sizes are in ECO so one can still do this. Those few post on that part should answer your questions. Think it was pretty...
you won't find any other dual 12v/24v regulator to run a Neihoff. Ron has experimented with running Neihoff on just one voltage and a few other experments in different ways to use the alt..... (all still with OEM regulator.).. some works.... but very poorly... poor enough to be a waste of...
yes Sterling seems to have the best 24v stuff. Next best on amp/dollar I think too. One thing I like about the BBMS..... since my alternator at 24v side is around 130-to 140amps available ...... I can use as much of that to charge lead or lithium as want... not limited to 30-50 amps. BBMS...
Side note: for those with 12v systems
There is a work around for NOT overheating common non smart alternators when using it to charge lithium . BUTTT it is only available for 12v Alts. !!! It is a battery isolator with a timer in its circuitry. When Lead start batt bank is full it will...
Similar boat as yourself.. but little further along..... actually committed pretty much now to a system since have most parts. Here is some food for thought in all your batt and charging quest for info.
Before reading below.... if your familiar with Lithium batts you likely know what a BMS is...
wonder if one could make it even less clunky by slipping a piece of fuel? coolant? hose or something over the pins on the hoop and grease it well where it would rub? If room; make it 3x too long.. so you can once a year or so cut off the part of hose on the pin that is worn.... then slip the...
Put expanded metal over that section into the bumper same as center ??? Both sides to keep it balanced??
Then what you use to cover the remaining of old light hole..... would be hidden more and you dont have to be as concerned about Fugly work.
keep water out? wonder if you could make a flap...
hmmm... maybe Disconnect the alternator and charge fully the batts individualy. Drive it with both sides (28v/12v) disconnected long enough to see if problem repeats? If things work fine then... it could be voltage regulator going out???
hmmm... another experement maybe is to bypass the (if...
If it were not for the added height issue.... would agree that pivoting subframe is best. Agree also on captured spring needs fairly rigid box.. hence the suggestion to mods to the sub chassis little more. Other way's this has been compensated for is adding more spring mounts. Numerous of...
nice set ups. Yes emergency "siren" is regulated to Emergency service vehicles; as it should be. I used the wrong word. there are other tones in the PA that are legal, particularly when they are momentary bleeped like a horn is used.
Wish I could find switch board like that in the price...
Builder left you in good position to move forward.
Sounds like you do know this type truck with a box was designed for the military using captured spring mounts. (M1079) This truck is a semi clone of the Steyr 12M18 and they too used captured springs to mount their command boxes.
IMHO it...
