Sigh, get a dual output alternator... they make them for the hummers. 24v and 12, same alt, mounts in the stock location. 3 optima red tops will fit side by side in a battery box.

One thing about keeping the truck 24v- If a part dies, easy to get a take off or straight from a surplus dealer. If you convert everything, you would have to find those specific parts, keep the numbers handy, etc.

Yeah!! A shirt with a m109! yeah!

Hammerdown, I did this exact same thing on my m109. The horn button on the steering column is the ground, and the positive goes to the electric horn at all times. Just get a deuce horn with solenoid valve, and wire it up just like the electric, one wire to one side, another to the other...

What are we doing for a floor? it will turn soupy quick. Anyone bringing pallets to burn? we could put some of them down...

Oh very true, I used to use it for the small stuff too. But I think he is talking some serious draw, with all the radio, lights, and A/C unit.

Hunt, the issue with that, is if you draw enough power off just one batt, there will be an inbalance. One battery might charge to 15 or 16 volts and the other to only 10. I have personally had it happen in my 818, I left the intake heater on, which is 12. I relized after half a day of driving...

Remember, 24volt loads draw less amps than 12volt ones. Just slap in a hummer dual voltage alt. Does 24 and 12, fits in the same spot. You can put 3 normal batteries in the battery box. Then you have a dedicated 12v system.

I filled the 275gallon tote about half full from the hose on top of the hill the first night, and left it in the m105 the entire weekend. I had to dump about half of that. Kip, the pump is male hose fittings, I will bring some fittings so we can mix and match.

Uh, batteries? lol I have a 110-12vdc power supply that would run it.

Kip, I think it is about 45-50 psi. It's kind of high.

I've got a cylinder I could bring as well. And a 12v water pump, and 275gallon potable water tote like last year.

We had a low country boil, with shrimp. That could do it. I'll get with Cabell and see how the menu is looking. He is probably busy with Aberdeen prep right now.

Doc, I've got two 5lb bags of grits, just for you! You'd better eat them all!:grd:

Nice 818 Joe! I've still got to pick up Clintogf deuce once the TSC hold is over.

You hit little old ladies. Not sure if I want to convoy with you... Just Kidding! :mrgreen:

I'd have taken off the spare tire holder, tool box, and mirrors. I stripped the cab of all the data plates, seat cushions, and switches, but ran out of paint before I even started in the cab.

Yeah, I did start at the bottom and worked my way up. If I ever paint anything again, I will take everything I can off first. I thought I would save time by leaving it on, but you miss to much and overspray other areas to get the hard to reach spots.

LOL. I've got my wife going on the 600 mile ride... I'll be there with the Wife. Bringing the m818 and m109. We will be eating, and I will probably be peeling potatos too.
