no worries - getting 12V out of a 24V system is fairly new to me too. i've only learned the options recently as i've been looking into it for my project. based on Stalwart's recommendation, i gave battery equalizers another look. i'm in alignment with him - equalizers seem to be the...

no, because the batteries are still in series. the equalizer just takes the voltage difference between the batteries and supplies 'Battery A', the low battery, with power to bring it back up to 'Battery B' voltage. the equalizer just looks at voltage differences, not a voltage setpoint. what...

as posted earlier, you'll have to maintain seperate grounds between the two systems.

deuce and girl. deuce and girl. that's what this thread was about... i really think that all of this other bickering should have been moved to a new thread in the conversations forum. however, since it's not 'MV specific', i guess there is no place for that discussion.

then what are you asking?

that is an egregious and disrespectful manner in which she is holding that helmet!!! helmets should never be cradled that way!!! your pictures are disrespectful!! ack ack ack ack....!!!!! that will make a very cool calendar. my girlfriend (now wife) has made 4 different calendars...

that's pretty interesting - how is it actuated (button on dash, microswitch on brake pedal, ...)? depending on it's size, it'd have to be installed right at the transfercase output in order to leave enough shaft length for the large amount of axle movement at the front tandem. i wonder how...

well, w/ posts like this it'll probably be locked in about 5, 4, 3, ...

dude, if you're not using appropriately sized diodes you are going to short something out if you just start hooking up wires. sketch it out first and i think you'll see what we're talking about.

i was planning on running a second alternator and running a 12 volt sub-system - it would be fairly easy and add a 3rd battery. but then i found a 100amp equalizer on ebay for $200 - this is cheaper and easier than an alternator, battery, and new serpentine belt. plus it will out-perform a...

if this is the factory 'exhaust brake' you are refering to, then it's a completely different animal. the one on your CTD utilizes the VGT turbine housing to restict exhaust flow through the turbo.

i'm drawing it out and staring at it trying to figure out where you'd need diodes... i'm not sure how to do it and the batteries be charged equally. i keep coming up w/ diodes that will block the back feed but not allow both to charge under a 24V circuit. i'm looking at this wrong...

wow. i guess there's nothing left to say. good luck. take lots of pictures.

i know we started switching over our FMTV fleet to the Goodyears in 2003 as trucks came up needing tires. we noted that they were smoother at highway speeds, especially the tractors empty or with light loads. they seemed to do just as well off-road, but we never really had 'serious'...

hmm, i seem to be missing a reply... anyway, i replied to challenge two things: the 47rh, while 'marginal' in stock form, is the transmission that is built up the most often behind high hp competition diesels (including some hi-HP D-maxes). it can be built to hold any power rating that a...

what engine rpms? if you don't have engine rpms, you can't measure torque, period. what are the engine rpms at the hp and tq peaks?

also, i do think it'd be cheaper to buy an electric winch considering the motor, gear box / reduction, batteries (given the size of the motor), leads, etc. i have a no-name 9k lb on my trailer - and using a snatch block to run most of the cable off the spool, i'd estimate that i have an easy...

given the winch ratio, worm gear efficency (75% est), and a maximum line pull of 10k lbs at the top layer, it is calculated that it requires 12.12 hp given a 30 fpm line speed. this translates into 258 - 516 rpm shaft speed at 30 fpm line speed. also, the required shaft torque will need to...

the shortest [advisable] trans you can get will be an NV4500 5 spd with the GM 6" fixed yoke tailhousing. you can start with a GM or Dodge nv4500, but you'll need to swap out the input shaft to a Dodge input if you use a GM trans. if the 6bt is not aftercooled, this will simplify things...

look, just because he's been using the same method that makes 250ft-lbs of flywheel torque look like 450ft-lbs of rear wheel torque for 30 years doesn't make it right. it just makes the dyno operator look consistant ... and popular.
