Count me in! Thanks Hawker!

I'll enter :)

Your alternator mount is different from mine so what I know probably won't help you, but in case it does ... on my alternator, there's like a 'saddle' that the alternator sits on and then there's a bracket that connects to the top left if you're looking at the alterantor head on. On my truck...

If you have the 200 amp alternator (huge black cylender with a little silvery box riding on it that looks like a car power inverter) then the place where you put the breaker bar is a little square hole in the alternator mount arm as I recall. You don't need a socket, you just put the breaker's...

I used my rivet nut tool to try and tighten the one that's in there, and I think the threads in the existing nut are screwed up. However, I have replacements I can put in there. I will try to chisel that flange as you suggest, thanks for the tip (and for reminding me of what the tool is...

Hey there; So in some trail misadventures I managed to bend the crap out of my passenger side mirror frame. I took the mirror frame off, no problem, and was actually able to bend the frame back into shape -- the mirror part itself was totally fine. That being said, I ordered a spare just in...

Hey there; I'm afraid they're in no condition to be re-used. I had to partially cut them out and I wasn't exactly gentle removing them so they got pretty bent up. One side is in way worse condition than the other as well, because I learned by trial and error how to pull the boxes out -- so...

Hi guys! I wanted to share a project that I did, that I think is pretty cool. I'm not particularly skilled or talented at this kind of thing, so, be forewarned -- I did the best job I, personally, could do with the tools on hand (mostly an off-brand "Dremmel" rotary tool). Most of you could...

I have the 200 amp dual voltage alternator. I think the SENSE will do it for me -- just a hot line from the RUN will be good enough, though the "AC Tap" would be a clever way to just engage it when running. I'll tinker with that. But yes, you totally understand -- truck running, air on, only :)

So I am using the 12 volts for the AC unit which runs off 12 volt, and also for any other accessories I may want to run -- cabin lights, backup camera, etc. I don't need any of this stuff to work when the truck is off. Let me boil this down to a more simple pair of questions: 1. Is there a...

I have a keyed killswitch, the Kascar one, but that works in tandem with the original truck 3 position switch so the 3 position switch is still there and is the way to start the truck. To be more specific, what I'd like, is to put voltage on that 'ACC' line when the truck's toggle switch is in...

Hey there; I tried to search for an answer but I'm being overwhelmed by results for keyed ignition which doesn't help me :) This should be an easy one. So I am installing a 24 to 12 volt converter on my HMMWV and this particular converted comes with an "ACC" input; basically, if that ACC...

The outermost layer might be silicon ... it may be my imagination that it was softer the second day. It could simply be the wetness of the alcohol made it a little easier for my knife to pry around the edges. The inner stuff (the cement grit stuff) is definitely impacted by alchohol though...

I have my part on order from Trail Worthy Fab and I should have it Tuesday. In the meantime, i'm experimenting with cracking open the old regulator. So, the old regulator has a smooth resin bottom which is incredibly tough. You can soak it in alchohol and it gets a little softer, but not much...

@Mogman @Retiredwarhorses Hey guys ... so my alternator / generator has a Niehoff N3135 on it. I'm not finding any of those available online, but I can find an N3118 which has the same connectors (in a slightly different configuration) and is also dual voltage. Do you know if these are...

So today I tried to run the truck, and now it does something new, where it will run off the generator for a little bit, then fall off back to the batteries after awhile. I'm back to thinking it's probably the voltage regulator. I'm wondering what I did to kill it (maybe it was running the AC...

That's a shame. Luckily I (so far) haven't had to do this, but I was afraid it might be a situation where you can't repair it. I guess that makes it water tight, but if it was openable its probably a pretty simple circuit in there.

Right now, I have my 12 volt alternator post connected to the 'center' of the batteries (the pos. terminal of the rear battery), which is what someone else on the boards posted in some instructions around using the dual voltage alternator. Would you recommend I keep it that way, or should I...
