Do you have batt cutoff relays in or next to the battery box?

On the a1 with advanced charging and the battery cutoff solenoids you want to keep the original system in place. Theres a reason for the whole setup. Unplug the mil connector from the box under the spare tire see what happens. And check all your batt connections make sure everything is clean and...

See if your truck has the advanced polarity protection box. It will be under the spare tire. This interacts with the alt regulator and regulates battery charging. Sometimes this box starts going bad causing issues like you are having. The double alt thing is not compatible with your truck if you...

Quick test you can lay under the truck on cardboard with some gloves on and shake the driveshaft hard. If you can feel any play then something is worn.

Most carriers wont take them unless they are on a pallet. You cant move them with a pallet jack thru the built in fork slots. The GP guys are good and if they have an extra pallet they will throw it under the gen for you. Some carriers still wont take it because its not secured to the pallet...

Compared to a M939 truck single piston compressor, the dual piston one in the lmtv is great. I can recommend rebuilding your unloader in the compressor head and turning up the air governor a few psi. That might make a noticeable difference. If you hold your brake pedal down and your air gages go...

If it had mice in it you need to look over ever inch of wiring and see if anything is chewed thru.

I think the belts are the same. I did the 200a on my truck a few years ago. I remember the 200a kit came with a pulley.

I have an extra 200a lmtv alternator. But not the whole install kit. It does use a different pulley and I think one tab mount is slightly different.

Did you try running a new excite wire?

They are long gone unfortunately. Nice durable bumpers though.

Put the truck in "mode" and you can run it without the front driveshaft.

I say middle axle

The ideal situation would be a 24v inverter. And they are more efficient.

The key to dealing with GL is using the word "fraud". Call and speak to a rep and explain. They will put you on hold and talk to management. Back and forth. Tell them its outright fraud and that you will be pursuing this further and see what they say.

It spun white sitting in N and the truck not moving. With the rear most driveshaft disconnected. Not uncommon, but it give the appearance that the middle axle was not engaged.

I put optimas in my personal gens. The 802/803 gens arent hard to start in the cold with good batts.

Simp was towing a m1083 he pulled the rear most driveshaft and the rear transfer case output was slowly spinning with the engine running and the truck in N.

People often over estimate their power draw. The 5k is a good gen. Better to run a 5 a capacity than a 10 at half capacity. And the 5 is better on fuel. Only downfall is they vibrate a bit more than the 10k.

I have seen it done and it does work. But you only have around 2/3 capacity of the generator. So you are back to running a 10k basically, just with a higher fuel draw.
