If it is a stock starter dash switch, it is exceeding its current rating. This is why the relay was installed from the factory.

They do have temperature compensated voltage regulators, the higher the temp, the lower the voltage, and vice-versa. This deliberate, and is to keep the batteries from boiling (can use higher charge voltage in lower temps to recover batteries quicker).

This is the exact same alternator in use on todays over the road trucks, without issue. You overloaded yours continuously running 6 electric fans including (4 on the radiator, 2 for the A/C). You overloaded it, so it went into thermal shut down, per Delco design, like you overload nearly every...

It will work, but not safely or continuously, same as just removing it from the original application. 5 tons still use a relay within the PCB box, even cars do. The solenoid current is too high for a dash switch alone without a relay. Typically no difference between a 2.5T/5T starter beside...

Crafty use of the bumper brackets, nice job! I see welding in the pic, here we go.....

It is in the mail heading your way, will PM you the USPS tracking number. Didn't have time to label it so here it is, there are 2 small terminals and 2 large: One large to constant B+ battery on back of starter solenoid Other large to starter solenoid signal feed (round can on starter) One...

Will probably go that way.

Good job, glad you like it. They are brushless and rated for nearly 1 million miles, 2 remaining in stock..... Consider to put a second tube sleeve covering the exposed threaded rod portion of your lower long bolt (2nd pic), otherwise tightening that bolt could be pulling that lower-rear ear...

I have a brand new modern 24v water sealed one, I would be happy to give you. PM me your address, I can ship it out today. Will label each wire for you. You can’t go direct from dash switch to starter, it will burn the dash switch, too much power through the starter solenoid. May work for...

Glad you like it. Apology they sound modern, because, they are.

Solar done. Torque link ends drilled and tapped. Once installed, then motor swap.

All 12 now drilled and tapped. Possible install this weekend if offset striking wrench arrives in time.

If you want it to be safe and correct as you say, then use correct load rated parts. Tires, springs, axle, etc. Beyond that, not sure what you are looking to have answered. I’m not even smart enough to know if a 5 ton is still rated for 5 ton if you shed one rear axle. I would guess no, but...

It would be worth more, have higher functionality (traction, load capacity, etc....), and look better (my opinion) as a tandem. As a single axle rear, you will likely be taking away from these, at least 2 of them anyway. Each their own, but as many others here also, I'm not really down with a...

The load of the starter is fixed. Example, 7.0kW (actual number for 24v modern gear reduction). So, at 24v, this would be 292 amps (7000/24), well below what a battery can deliver, rightfully so. As the battery is discharging during cranking, the voltage is dropping, but the load stays the...

I have one more of those gear reduction starters left if anybody is Jonesing for one... Can package deal with a 24v 100A brushless 33Si alternator if you really want to update your ride to modern spec.

931xx is not that long, so whatever bed you are putting onto it will not be able to hold all that much weight. I'm not a spring expert, or expert at anything really, but it makes me nervous when people start adding leafs to an existing spring, because the top leaf remains unchanged, and this...

I want it to run good for you, so some grandpa's RV doesn't tear your pants off. Absolutely can't beat the sound or low RPM torque of massive cubic inches. Besides the 3126, looks like that shed roof in the background could use a little lovin' there, bro...

Did you get a successful test run of it yet? I think your vid only showed cranking. Would hate to see you do all this work, and the engine's a dud, knocks, mixes fluids, or smokes like a steam locomotive.

On the can rebuilds, I have heard many say exactly the same thing. It sounds like you just need to read instructions carefully, and follow what it says. My dad did one on his backhoe, and it went flawless, he has never done one before. I think if done correctly, they just easily come apart...
