What were the good voltages?

Why don't you try using that meter to check the battery voltage at each battery while the engine is running instead of looking at the idiot lights? The battery voltage should be over 14 with the engine running unless it is dead. Alternator #2 has nothing to do with alternator #1, which you say...

Are you sure the alternator works? The battery shouldn't be dead after you have been driving the vehicle. I can't tell what scale your meter is on but assuming it's showing 830mA load, that would take a day or two to kill the battery.

I'm 150 lbs and I grab the handle and put a foot (or two) on the bumper and pull.

I don't know if HMMWV battery hold downs accomodate more than one type of battery, but you might check. CUCV hold downs work with 6tl and group 31 batteries.

av8or put a pass through on his M916/146 box camper. He used a large flexible acordian type seal between the cab and the box. There may be a thread about it somewhere.

These alternators don't loose magnetism as there are no magnets like in a generator. The regulator set point is 14.8 volts. You should see a tenth of a volt one way or the other depending on the battery state of charge.

He was over qualified. And be honest, after he hauled A, the second thought that crossed your mind (after oh sheet!), was this guy might be smarter than I thought. Be thankful the Twinkies were not in the same bag with the beer.

Strange the tank is centered over the axle. A 5th wheel or goose neck is designed to carry a large part of the trailer load.

I don't blame the guard, if I saw a herd of sweat hogs coming at me and the only thing between me and the great beyond was a piddly little 9MM, I would run too.

But not in this case.

No, the resistor is between the trio and ground terminal. The trio provides the voltage to operate the regulator. The resistor either has something to do with exciting the regulator and/or turning on the dash light in certain applications, I would have to look it up because I don't remember the...

Some alternators have the resistors, some don't. They are not necessary.

Actually, the set point is 14.8. Review my testing the alternator thread for details. Testing The Alternator On The Vehicle.

I originally had my M35A2 with Statefarm. Since then I have used Gulfway as my agent. My MV policies were originally underwritten by Travelers with Gulfway as the agent. Travelers no longer offers collector insurance so Gulfway set me up with Hagerty. I currently have two ex-military trucks and...

A question, if you are paying close to $2k a year to insure a 18 year old vehicle, is there some problem with your driving record other than your age? That will make a significant difference on what you pay or if you can get insurance. Have you asked your insurance company what they would charge...

The derating comes from the supply circuit capabilities. You lose at least a third of the amp capacity on single phase. If the supply circuit has a high enough amp capacity or you have a small motor, it probably doesn't matter.

What Tom said. A friend of mine has one on his Bridgeport. You end up with 2/3 the HP of the motor rating if I remember correctly.

Try wearing your seat belt. That worked pretty good for me.
