    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    I'm at 13k, keeping an eye on the troubles that may be coming. I'm doing the full gambit of Amsoil bypass filter, IFS high psi filter and HEUI pre filter. I'll be taking the fuel lines to my hydraulic shop to just have new ones made to order as General suggested. PM wars

    How many miles on the odo? Couldn't read but it looks like 94k?

    Do you recommend the push lok stuff shown in the parts spreadsheet in the forum?

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    I think the point is debating/addressing the possibility of a "non-tight" connection, leading to the Vdrop at high amperage's we talked about earlier elsewhere, not that these connections can come completely apart. For controls, it's irrelevant. But for power connections, the force exerted on...

    Maybe if they were just taped, but that gel is a natural dampener. Obviously the wire can carry those vibrations from the engine but Idk. That'd be a fun test to do on a bench, see what frequencies that gel is absorbing

    I think the fact that they're floating in air will neutralize any vibration effects.

    Nice. What brand are those gel connections?

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    I was wondering how to measure that. That's perfect. This'll be cool if it works. Off the shelf parts! On the pulley, I'm going to check how close the belt is on the existing alt that's on my cat loader. Might be fine. The shaft engagement is 1-1/8" on the pulley so I guess I could have a...

    I pulled the neihoff pulley and it fits fine on the cat alternator. The supplied pulley with the cat had a keyway but the alt shaft is smooth. Both cat and neihoff alts are 0.875 exactly on the calipers. Seems peachy. Now I have to copy your mounting pics! There's less tolerance for...

    Answer: I wanted to have some extra redundancy while driving. So with 2 x 20a victrons in parallel, 1 failing won't drop my lights. Also, if I lose both, the battery will backup the lights. The victrons will power from 24v ignition so will only "charge" batteries if the ignition is on and...

    The new cat alt I have has a factory 2 shive pulley on it. I took it off and it's a smooth shaft but the pulley also has a Keyway. Probably just dual purpose? that install looks real nice. I'm going to copy your photos lol! on the disco, isn't that thing already between the alt and batts? I...

    That site is nice. I should be able to match up a pulley to my cat alt.

    What's the pulley part#? I'll probably need that for my cots Cat alt.

    That's my question as well (pulley).

    Flux capacitors! Also, if you go over 88mph in your 1078 you will time travel, or at least feel Like you are! 😳 I like the idea of the victron doing all the 12v Power tasks in your diagram. If I ultimately drop the dual voltage alt, then I'll do this too, and just have a 12v battery bank (2)...
