Possible solution fell in my lap. little more than wanted to spend but solves couple problems. Two Balamar 24v 140amp alternators with regulators. Price was so good got second one as spare. Pull outs from a military boat apparently. Already have some Bussman converter/balancers I can...

how much of 28v output though is indirectly lost though when you send some juice away thru a converter to create some 12-14v out of the 24-28v bank (with LMTV in mind). Alternator still has to produce enough power to full fill all needs. Such as the dual volt 200amp is think you guessed...

what activates the clutch? Is it electrical clutch?? if so is there sensors that when alt. to hot.... or draging engine down at bad times (say acceleration?) where clutch gets deactivated? Or is it a clutch just to prevent reverse direction like on some Air. Con compressors??

one other symptom.... on occasion it will jump to 26ish volt on dash when driving then go away 5 to 20 min later. does that sound like alternator or regulator?

could be. troubleshooting doc says..... get another known working regulator to test the existing one lol. ohhhhhhhKKKKK like that is simple... Anyone by miracle have a known working regulator for this beasty?

Have picked up several 12/24 bussman convertors when saw them on sale for inevitable issue to arise like this. one to just balance batteries and other incase this alt goes out. will check .... about converting.... it is a price game of cost of neihoff regulator, alt., or both (if it is one...

Cabs up.... a review of a video that showed which terminal is what on regulator. It appears that the one closest to corner on side of the regulator is IGN and the AC terminal is the one more central. Was questioning myself about if the IGN and the Excite is the same thing. Further reading...

nope..... no marks... at all. but before above postings in a review of a video that did show one marked... it appears that the one closest to corner on side of the regulator is IGN/excite and the AC as the one more central. That and was not sure if the IGN and the Excite is the same thing...

transfered a 200amp hummer alt to my LMTV few years ago. All been good. All the sudden it has stopped charging. Does not reach 28v at bats (or on dash) and does not reach 14v. Anyone have diagnostic hints?? like which one on this alt. is the excite wire? Figure will need to asses if it...

as in- pump to raise up further first ? ??

no. its a 200amp dual volt unit off a Hummer

well since could drive the VW again... have not dove into this till today since not driving truck at moment. Before start on this adventure. today: -each batt by chassis showed 12.64 volts which appears to me to 100% SOC - each batt out out most end of batt box showed 12.4v or 80% SOC Swapped...

Adding to the Be Careful Out There thread. This one did not end up as well as the above. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/video/2-adults-killed-3-children-injured-when-converted-bus-rolls-down-hill-on-pingree-park-road/

unless building the rig is really a huge part of your life enjoyment..... Then remember "take a break" from building it and drive the rig, enjoy the camping with friends and loved ones.

fan automatically comes on if getting no air to the clutch. So brainstorm, trace air lines for lines that would move air to BOTH air ride and clutch

SWEEEET combo of work trucks.... droooooooool

old topic..... there is a thread on this. thought it sold to a member here? maybe he rejected it based on the miss information?? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/did-i-just-buy-a-2023-lmtv-m1078a1-or-not.214820/

Do you have a write up and pics somewhere yet on the 260/140 Neihoff install?

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...
