    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Up and running!! I do like the idea of using that output for something. Lighting may not be my option just in case I need to see when the engine isn't running. Videos in the Military Vehicle Camper Mods FB page.

    With the split battery system the starter will always have at least 26.7V Fired it up today!! Success on all fronts.

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Thx. So this is on foldout 7. On which page(s) do I find the continuation of that connector plug P31x ? At least P31 is labeled and tells me where things go. I just haven't figured out their schematic system yet. I'm almost done doing the electric fan swap. Hope to fire it up today. NVM... My...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Been trying to follow the A0 schematic rather unsuccessfully for those wires. How does the dash gauge get it's signal?

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    About 95% completed. Waiting on the marine circuit breakers, 80A per 24v bank, 140A for the 12v was as close to Bussman specs as I could find, and 1 more terminal block for the 12v leg. Bussman is installed, Smart Isolator is installed, battery banks are split, everything except for the 12v leg...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Here is the Bussman schematic as a "converter" What it doesn't state in their data sheets is whether the unit still works as an equalizer when wired as a "converter". I'm inclined to run the extra cable as in the equalizer circuit, it's technically there anyway. I'll be using these terminal...

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    The Bussman schematic still shows a 12v tap coming from the battery. I was wondering about the necessity of that since it is also a converter. The right side schematic is from the Bussman. The left is from the Smart Isolator. I am not doing any disconnect switches on the Bussman side, and...

    MTV grounding issue

    Question about the shunt... the other side of it goes to the NATO plug negative terminal. I'm in the process of rewiring for a 24v Bussman in the place of the PPD, pulling the 12v load off the 100A Bussman terminal. So the NATO ground could just go to any solid frame ground connection, if I...

    M1078 - radiator - electric fan conversion

    That's a viscous clutch fan. (In my driveway lol)

    Fmtv no more dual voltage

    Has anyone pursued this to a completion? I am in the process on my 98 A0 M1079 and mainly have some wiring questions. The new alternator is a 200A 24v internally regulated unit. A Bussman Equalizer Replaces the polarity unit, with 12v coming off the lug on the Bussman. I'm assuming that the 12v...

    LMTV registration in California. BUYERS BEWARE

    Reading the TX dune buggy/Sandrail debacle reminds me of what happened here within SS when Colorado passed their bill. The historical owners fought just to continue being able to drive their historical military vehicles. Once divided, eventually all will fall. We can't be "breed specific"...
