    Dual Voltage regulator, no its not what you think.

    Its a very frustrating problem without a know good vr. It's also frustrating because Niehoffs website doesn't have the info anymore. St least not that I could find. I only found the information I did from peoples links to the testing procedures listed here on the forum. I just swapped in the...

    Dual Voltage regulator, no its not what you think.

    I'm inclined to agree. My thought is the original vr is just no good. It would be a lot easier if it just didn't work, but it did somewhat work. The troubleshooting led me through the entire wire harness and all the grounds, days of chasing things that weren't problems. One funny thing for...

    Dual Voltage regulator, no its not what you think.

    That lack of cable was my aha moment. Per Niehoffs diagrams it is called a phase connector. Not knowing what it was or where it came from, I started digging more. That's when I learned there was a difference between the 28v only 200A gens and 28/14v gens. I guess to get the 14v there are phases...

    Dual Voltage regulator, no its not what you think.

    There are some photos of the generator and the regulator as it was on the truck. I found the numbers on Niehoffs website. If you put in the 1211, it list the specs. 200A 28v, dual voltage: NO (both letters capitalized in the listing just to make the punch in the face i got on learning that hurt...

    Dual Voltage regulator, no its not what you think.

    Good afternoon, I have a very specific question. I'll list that here so there isn't a book to read, but I'll lay out the situation too. Question; will a dual voltage regulator a 3135 specifically, work on a non dual voltage generator? (Obviously not with the dual voltage function, only mean as...

    ACW custom 1114 build

    Motor swap update: We have the donor truck completely torn down at this point. Took me and my son about 20ish total hours to get everything out of the F350. Unfortunately we don't have the space to keep the donor truck and work on the humvee at the same time, so we took everything we thought we...

    Roof update. After much messing around with the roof, we finally have it all back in one piece! Due to all the warping, there was an awful of tinkering to get everything as straight as possible. The roof was cut into 4 pieces, the two sides and then the middle was cut in half. We centered to...

    ACW custom 1114 build

    Good evening, A bit ago I posted an introduction and it was suggested I start a build thread. I didn't have much to post between now and then. We've only have been putting in a few hours over the weekends. That's getting ready to change. We have a pretty ambitious set of plans for the truck...
