I agree, there is a TON of information in those threads. I need to sit down for a couple hours, go through the threads with a fine tooth comb and make an actual list of items, part numbers, etc. from those posts for a quick reference.

For the headlights themselves, I will either install a relay setup like I have on many other vehicles. Or install LED headlights (might still run the relay anyways.) This will eliminate the power draw on the switch, wiring, etc. I like doing this for most of my vehicles. I have read through a...

Hey Terry! Wish I would have had the tires for you on this one. I will keep my eyes and ears open for them!

Well, after working over the truck and driving it some, I found a few quirks. First thing, the dash lights work when I pull the light switch out to the running lights position. But when I pull it all the way out to turn the headlights on, all the dash lights go off. Even the shifter lights...

16's make it look like how they should have come in the first place.

Yeah, sorry for the hi-jack as well. I just figured you are one of the few that has posted about this mod, and has some miles (and opinions,) under your belt with it and these trucks. LOTS of great information in this thread, keep it up!

Well, even on ebay I haven't found anything that cheap!

I am still working out some bugs in my newly acquired M920. Some electrical issues like the fan motor is toast. All the dash controls for heater/vents are seized up. But, when looking at your build, and that of R Racing, you both used some seriously overkill pressure regulators/oil misters for...

Didn't know about the height adjustment on the 870 trailer. Good to know!

Nah, I have plenty of trucks at work if I wanted a line haul tractor. And the M870 does have the dual pin setup. So either way I go, I will always be able to hook it up. But it would sit pretty low if I pulled the stock setup.

Yeah, I got the "Holland xa-351-a-l-p" part number saved if I go that route. Thing is, I 'think' that I will end up getting a M870 type trailer. I see a couple civilian scissor neck trailers locally, but they tend to be a bit out of my price range at the moment. I thought about finding a set...

Ok, either way I need to at least swap out the top plate to a commercial 2" kingpin. But, I think that I would like to keep the rest of the stock setup. Especially since I would eventually get a M870 trailer for it. Thing is, it really limits the other trailers that I can pull. So, for those...

Ok, so what was the cost of the that dual voltage alt? That cost alone might sway me ;)

Ah, ok. That makes sense. A 90 amp 12v alt should only be able to do 45 amp 24v max anyway. I am debating on this route, or just getting a BIG 24v alt and run a battery equalizer to provide all 12v power (or visa versa.) I did this on my 5 ton and it works great.

I just got a M920, and think the rectifier is toast on it.Do the larger 36SI alternators fit?If not, can the 30SI be upgraded for higher amps?And did I read that right, 60 amps for 24v?
