Looking to swap alternators. Long story…
Advanced question…
What is the max power consumption on a vehicle with lights and flashers and a/c with fans on, perhaps with aftermarket radio and CB radio?

Somehow Juan Prado swears he drives 70MPH in his three speed. One wonders if moonshine and zydeco music have affected his perceptions. Something about his truck is special.
Max,
Your enthusiasm for the site is wonderful and well placed.

Pics of the alternator will answer tons of questions.
Brakes, not breaks.
400amp is overkill and requires special brackets. What is in vehicle now? Have you tested it? My friend and fellow member Eric aka Hummer H1 routinely modifies these rigs to accept...
Something I learned from the application of RTV to the valve covers, apply the RTV on the engine side and not on the cover side. It may seem like splitting hairs, however when you apply on the engine side you’re guaranteed to get a complete seal with RTV where it is needed. When you add RTV to...
