    people have put all different motors in them but a small block probably not high on the list of motors i would choose .these trucks are heavy even bobbed you probably want the torque of a big block and a 350 trans isnt gonna hold up very good to that kind of weight and the transfer case in...

    m105 dump bed trailer

    i was thinking about doing that with a m105 and thought about using a air bag from a semi to do the lifting since they can be had fairly cheap and lift huge amounts of weight .i would use a two valves one to fill from the air supply and one to vent to drain and lower the bed :roll:

    m105 dump bed trailer

    many drag race cars run 16 volt batteries and alts to give the ignitions and starters more power to keep up with the heavy demand placed on them and they help the starter hold up not hurt it's durability.most electirc motors will hold up to an overvoltage situation for quite a long time...

    not sure on the ac motors but i know for a fact that you can run a 12volt motor an 24 volt or a 6 volt motor on 12 volts with no problem cuz i have done it .yes relays and solonoids are a different thing since they dont work the same .yes both have winding but thats where the similarity stops

    hey not sure what ac motors have to do with dump trailers. but any way:roll:
  16. tm america

    m105 dump bed trailer

    actually an ac motor is wired the same either way you are just changing the power suplied to it i.e. switching a neutral for another hot thus giving it 240 instead of 120.and yes running it on half of the amps but still the same motor and same wires in the motor .i think you are refering to...

    you can just use the frame as your ground and run the power to the pos on the second battery that way you wont need as much expensive battery cable
  18. tm america

    m105 dump bed trailer

    you use the neg from the first battery and the pos from the second battery otherwise youll only be getting 12 volts which will cause the batteries to discharge unevenly and then it will overcharge the second battery and kill both batteries

    m105 dump bed trailer

    correct plus when it runs twice as fast it will only have to run half as long also only running half as long for it to get hot

    m105 dump bed trailer

    remember when you run something on 24 volts vs 12 volts it uses only half the amps.i had my pump- scissors setup on another truck running off of 12 volts and it went slllooooowwwww and got really hot when i ran it off 24 volts it fixed it fast and cool .like i said i've been running it like...
