    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    So, I got my new n3106 regulator from the big auction site, and it's a bit weird. There is what looks like a small, exposed potentiometer in the potting on the bottom, and there's no name plate. It works fine. I heard southern automotive was building these now. Anyone ever seen an adjustment...

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    So, my conclusion at the end of this is I'm sourcing a new-to-me alternator/regulator combo. I don't know if my alternator is killing the regulator, but I burnt through one n3106, and then had a n3211 that worked four a couple of months. The original n3106 stopped charging, and now the n3211 is...

    Are all 200amp HMMWV alternator pulley shafts the same?

    Hm. My alternator is not dual voltage, just 24v. The new one would be dual voltage.

    Are all 200amp HMMWV alternator pulley shafts the same?

    I'm probably replacing the 200amp alternator in my '92 m998 with another 200 amp alternator. The new-to-me one comes from a 6.5 Turbo HMWMV, so I think it had a serpentine pulley on it (no pulley right now). Mine has the V-belt pulley. Are the shafts on all of the 200 amp HMMWV alternators the...

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    I think I'm in for a new regulator, and if I'm very unlucky, a new alternator.

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    It was working fine earlier in the summer, but I just noticed today I seem to be getting slow swings up to 32 volts or so. I'm going to check all grounds, but I may be in it for a new $300 regulator.

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    Re-checked the TC shift lever, and while the outside shape in the same, the alignment is different, so I think I'm in good shape there.

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    Another thing that is bugging me is I ordered a new shift lever to attach to the NP242 t-case. It was NSN 3040013588708 which is different than the one for the np218, but when I lined them up, they look identical. Is this the right one? It looks like it should work, but is pretty close to the...

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    No, the closest I got was this: http://psmag.radionerds.com/images/d/d3/PS_Magazine_Issue_565_December_1999.pdf Any idea where I can find the MWO? My GoogleFu is failing me.

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    Getting closer here. It appears that I should set the alignment of the speedo adapter to the mark of where the driven gear in the speedo adapter falls. There are recessed lines on the speedo adapter to align with the raised mark on the transfer case. It looks like the range I'll use is the one...

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    I'm swapping out my busted th400 that had a np218 transfer case on it for a functional th400 that has a np242. I think (we'll find out) I have the right drive shafts, etc., but I have a question I hope you all can help with now that I have both the old and new transmission and transfer case next...

    HMMWV Rock Sliders/ Rocker protection

    Just got my first good rocker ding this past weekend on trails over in VT. The trail went down a brook with some good size rocks, and I probably should have gotten spotted through, but hindsight is 20/20. My friend following me with a ex-military '87 Mercedes g-wagon made it through fine, the...

    M998 passenger side parking brake cable replacement "CLIP"

    I THINK mine engages together, more or less. I always chock mine if there is any slope whatsoever that might send it somewhere bad. I recall there have been a few incidents at shows/displays where someone has knocked the parking brake off on a parkless HMMWV and the truck has done damage or...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Not so much as a "done to" as a "done with". Although plenty of "done to" so I have the ability to actually have it participate in a "done with" :razz: Memorial day parade in Vermont with a friend's Deuce, and an '42 MB that is out of the picture.

    bit of a vent: I love my m998, but what a year for maintenance!

    I enjoy working on it, and don't regret owning it for a moment. Here in NH I pulled it out of salt-avoidance storage in early April and started to work on it at that point, and I just got it fully functional this past week, so it took me two months to really start using it again. That's...

    bit of a vent: I love my m998, but what a year for maintenance!

    Hah :-) It took me a month to experience that one since my fan was stuck on until I replaced the thermoswitch. I warn people about it when they ride with me, as a high percentage of passengers look very concerned the first time they hear it. Actually, if I remember correctly I also had to apply...

    M998 passenger side parking brake cable replacement "CLIP"

    They are part numbers 12342965 (rh) and 12342966 (lh). It looked like I was trying to cut my wrists after that job.

    M998 passenger side parking brake cable replacement "CLIP"

    Yes, I hear you about the muffler. I pulled it when I replaced my brake cables a few weeks ago. It wasn't TERRIBLE to do, but made what would have a been a very quick job into a much longer one. I put the newer style parking brake cable holders that attach to the lower control arms on mine. They...

    bit of a vent: I love my m998, but what a year for maintenance!

    Me and my family love our '92 m998a0. I've owned it for a little more than two years, and have put maybe 3,000 miles on it. The kids adore it, we use it as the family pickup truck, go off road with it, and today joined in a Memorial Day parade with a '42 MB and a '71 M35a2. But holy smokes, what...

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    I just put the new regulator in and it seems to be working fine. I had to drill another mounting hole on the regulator casing, but just matched where Niehoff had made the extra hole on the old regulator. It's charging fine at all RPMs. The only weird thing is while the AC post is putting out...
