I would do as colomil did, get the alternator setup from a m1009 or m1008 and put it on your truck so you keep the 24v, plus you will still be able to use the TM's for wire troubleshooting. If you were to change over to 12v, you'd have to find a 12v alt. that would bolt in place of the stock...

Let me use an analogy. you have two cups of water. you have one tube that splits into a Y to fill them both. (this is the setup of the batteries and alternator in a deuce) as you start the truck or use the lights, water is being taken from both batteries at the same rate (assuming no...

How thick is the aluminium? It would have to be 14ga. or thicker to support the weight, unless you can put ribs in it to strengthen it.

Butch & Kenz, please add your location (state, and part of state if not city) to your profiles. Its one of the few rules. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/profile.php?do=editprofile

Water buffalo's seem to be pricey whenever they are found for sale. Average price seems to be ~$1K.

Kenny and I have been known to do that ;)

the frames are the exact same. only the suspension of the rear and the transfercase are different.

the main issue with pulling from the center is the charging, since you can only charge across both batteries in the deuce (cant charge individually) the battery that was reading 10.5v will get charged up to 12.6 (full charge) and the other battery will get charged the same ammount so it may be...

great catch :)

the Mk48 power pack is the front unit, and are rare as "hen's teeth"

woohoo, larger pics :D

the yoke nut is just torqued down, no preload needed since all it does it hold the drum on. The TM should have the torque value. I'm betting its in the -30 (look for parking brake replacement)

This post is in the CUCV forum, a deuce would be different.

instead of returning the alternators, take them to an GOOD alternator shop and just have them put the fiber washers in to isolate the grounds. FYI the drivers side alt does NOT need to be an isolated ground, but the passenger side ABSOLUTELY MUST!!!!

spruce, it should be a yellow color if its just older stuff in the can. the purple dye breaks down with age.

Dman, i have a parts truck that i could cut those cab corners if you need, and have a nice big chop saw to cut them clean if needed.

You got lucky dude ;) Get some sheetmetal its cheap and the sooner you do it the less you will have to replace.

For high-draw systems like a stereo your best bet would be to mount a 12v alternator under the hood and charge a seperate battery for the 12v stuff, keep the two systems isolated from each other.

for the turn signals i think they are 1157's havent replaced a brake bulb yet, so i'm not sure.
