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...

No pics/vids...... it's not real lol. Please do start a thread showing your build.

I resemble that remark. Been there bent that... (often)

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...

Interesting.... didnt realize that model did not have the helecopter lift points on the cradle that holds the air cleaner and spare tire etc.

Gov. planet is a company* hired by the Fed. Gov. for disposal auctions. It is a for profit biz that folk can also list items on. *Ritchie Bros.

got similar idea in mind.... using PA system for horn. I can speak (yell) right at them or use the Emergency service chirp chirp / siren . Ended up with two PA actually... thinking truck horn will trigger one set to make the chirp siren thing go off. Other one set for PA and wear a PTT mic lol.

instead or addition too J hook.... make whole thing from angle iron?? trim off one section where the Fork ends up. Would think it would add strength by increasing foot print.

This is why am planning 3 winches. 18k 24v military units with a bunch of snatch blocks. One rear, one front . Third one on a huge receiver (to match FMTV helicopter lift behind cab.) and sit in a place that if rig flops on side it can be accessed and slipped into place on the exposed...

one step forward..... two steps backward..... ain't that how it always goes? PS- air horns are tools. Use wisely. Loud sharp noise like air horns (esp. when used irresponsibly) DO damage hearing of children and elderly. DO trigger PTSD

look forward to pics of final working model with cab up and the lock bar in place. GREAT IDEA. have braced before with long 2x4 and have it slide right out under dropping hydrualics, just missing crushing me. That was a Truck Bed Tilt box. All the 2x4 did was give me early warning that the...
