And i laugh every time I see that:) is that engine still even running? Of course they never seem to report back on any failures... What happens when you deliver too much fuel? In diesels, particularly at lower loads, is that fuel builds up on the cylinder walls and washes down past the...

I think the 225@2600 RPM engine is 620 ft/lb@1550 RPM, this from an eaton clutch spec catalog, as i have never been able to find the cat highway engine specs for this or the 290HP. Closest I find for the 290 is a spec from that same eaton catalog, for a 300HP@2600 RPM 3116 which is 720ft/lb, so...

Yes, thats correct. The batteries set the tune and draw energy based on relative voltage difference and their internal resistance. Thats why AGMs want more, and can deliver more current. Tgey have a lower internal resistance. That is why you cannot just hook up any old alt to a LI battery...

Charging is based on voltage output, and alternators typically dont care about state of charge, they only know output voltage. So battery is low and you give it enough voltage it draws current this causes alt voltage to drop, its reg builds the field and makes more output trying to get back to...

that reg has an ign input so can be easily remote controlled How big is your service battery? ok Lithium changes the game for house charging. Must have a dc-dc charge controller, and you can tailor that to whatever excess your alternator will support. You could have 2000AH back there, but...

They may not be capable of remote conttol, depends on the alt. Got a model number? The LMTV is unusual in that regard as remote generator control is usually an aviation thing. Most automotive alts do not have it, if they're turnin, they're burnin:) 140A@24v is a lot of power. How large are...

Not sure, the LMTV uses 24v gauges with 12v lights, so rebuilding the panel can be a bit different...

Yea I think you are remembering the numbers wrong. I think those are what that alt was capable of, 140A@24 and 60A@12. You don’t need a lot to make 12v from,24. The lighting load on a lmtv is 26A(33 on a 1079). thats only 13A@24v plus a little for converter efficiency. With standard lead...

@24, You don't really need a very high output alt. 100A @ 28V is 2.8KW of power. A 100A alt would easily feed the OEM 240AH 4 battery bank In standard lead-acid. In fact it would just barely be past full load(108A) to feed that same bank if they were AGMs. A 125-150A alt would be great…...

Sounds about right. If its a Neihoff you can get the troubleshooting guide from their military section. It should have a procedure for determining wether it is an alternator chassis or regulator fault. Depending on how available the humvee alts are,this sounds like a great time to swap to a...

There is quite a bit of space between fan and rad on these. I think the first place to contact on a lmtv, if at all would be fan to shroud...

Chuckys "event" should never have happened. The safety check in the cylinder should have locked it. I was able to trip mine fairly easily with the manual control lever on the hand pump before i put in the limiter and ultimately the adjustable flow control valve. The safety would lock if I went...

Yes, you have to push the ball off of the seat with hydraulic pressure. I think the valve, as it shifts from raise to lower has a little spot in there where the input connects to output before it fully switches pathways and forces fluid thru the restricted orifice. I think that spot allows a...

Yea the fact you said it set for a while then started working speaks to air trapped in the cylinder. It will continue to do this till you clear that air. if it is working now, the easiest way to do this is to lower the tire, disconnect the rod end of the cylinder from the tire arm by removing...

Or a split coupling hose acting like a pressure relief valve. You coukd put a boost gauge on it and see if it corolates to a particular pressure... you could then block the intake and exhaust then pressurize the whole intake path to near peak boost pressure and look for the leak wirhout the...

I know someone who has done that, and they are happy with it so far…

But you are @290HP? I didnt catch that. My numbers above are for the 225hp 3116. If so you have nearly 100ft/lb more engine torque(715?). That equates to ~2000 more pounds of thrust 15.3K… @26K, that should be good for 36 degrees of slope…

Even at 26000# the 3116 should still be able to pull that up a ~30 deg slope. Got a smartphone or ipad? Use the measure app and go measure the angle of some slopes. 30deg is pretty steep… It would be better if you weighed less… I am building from the frame up, to keep weight, cg and height...

When you say control line are you referring to the line connected to the purge port on the dryer? You have a large airline in from the compressor, you have a large airline out to the wet tank and you have a small line in from the governor. When the governor sees its set pressure in the tank...

I am in the process of a lighting makeover and that(front running) is one part of the change. I am also doing halo headlights and driving lights in place of the current front TS assemblies... Hardwired the brake lights soon after I got the truck:)
