    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    Interesting phenominom. Been nothing but storm after storm here... or just Farmer happy rain so all can do is charge batteries with the 110v charges for few hours then go to work... Wash rinse repeat. Well last couple days it would jump to 28v charge randomly.... I've not found a pattern...

    Insects blocking brake vent lines?

    catch 22 is this IMHO would get blocked by mud pretty quick . IMHO.... run all vents up to a air cleaner like box (6" PVC tube?) in the spare tire area.

    Winter front. M1078

    interesting that this helps. The military one blocks air much lower . Which makes since ... think 1/2 to 3/4 of the radiator sits below the grill . hmmm. then again I see now yours appears to tuck down below the grill a bit. How far down does it go?

    Rubberized Undercoating

    ifffff.... your going to coat..... yuo need something that sticks extremely well..... and ABSOLUTELY prevents air AND water from getting behind it. Hence why most these days use quality bed liner-ish Poly? stuff (rubber bits embedded or not) stuff. And you want to coat it in a large enough...

    Air leak

    Going by your avatar image... guessing you have an A0 truck with 3116. So it has cab ride air bags. My guess if it is not actually up front at glad hands etc.. is the air lines too the cab air bags..... fittings in that area.... or the air bag itself. Also could be the valve that...

    How long can I go after Alternator stops working w/four 12v batts? and diagnising/fixing 200amp hummer alt on LMTV

    Decided not to trust smart charger. Think it's got Drain Bamage. Banks after charging and sat to reach Rest State: -Rear bank using smart charger says they are 80% charged. >>> But voltage meter AND chart above says they are 100% charged (12.8v) >>> Older Dumbish charger says bank is full...

    M1078 A1 tachometer diagram

    my bad....... intended to add disconnect switches as one one of things that typically mean it will have LBCD . Will fix post so not to confuse anyone
  16. coachgeo

    M1078 A1 tachometer diagram

    that is also where the LBCD sits.... but if you have 100amp alt on an early A1 with none of the disconnect switches/solenoids.... it will be Polarity Protection Device anyway.

    Easiest way to swap bushings?

    thanks for not keeping this on Tapatalk and instead creating a full S.Soildiers post. If had left it there would have eventually disapeared and the next poor sole doing this would not have this valuable information, esp. pics to wonder thru.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

There is a 3rd differential in the power divider. It sits sideways between the axle pair to modulate power back and forth between middle...
