Correct. That will be the maximum output at it's maximum rated temperature.

Just ran some tests on the stock 60A alternator on my 5 ton M925A2. Not sure, but I think your group runs this same alternator, and if so I hope this data can be useful: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144500-Performance-Output-Measurements-of-Stock-60A-Alternator&p=1766374#post1766374

Brought home a DC load bank and clamp on DC ammeter this weekend to measure the output of a stock military 60A alternator. Ambient air was 47F, and the measurements were done with the engine and alternator cold. Output will be lower as alternator warms. Measurements were done with calibrated...

I would not take anything apart either. Fill the oil to correct level, add 2 batteries and fuel supply, and crank it while spraying some aerosol lube into the intake. Engine will build oil pressure while cranking, though it will take say 10 seconds or so of doing so. Not much load on bearings...

Welcome. Problem is likely ABS, which is common to have trouble after over-voltage. Is control lamp on dash board you are speaking about a small yellow light?

They charged me $35 cash no receipt total for both, but they know me. And, I have since made them black for Coff:

You can do that. Or you can go directly to the back of the starter and be done with it. That is how they wire over-the-road trucks now, alternator is wired directly to starter since there is large cabling to starter anyway. Gravy job. You can buy car battery cables with the correct ends at...

Anything over 25.6V is charging. Not sure of the idle output of the Chinese Delco clone alternator, but it seems it can't keep up with your loads at an idle. This is also dependent upon how discharged your batteries are, as they wilk suck power also to recharge. A 60A alternator should make...

Had new fuel suction hoses made for my 925A2, since lots of reports here that they leak and suck air over time. Hose is high temp hydraulic hose, as recommended by the local shop which makes them. Wanted stainless braided with teflon liner, but they cringed and said that may look fab, but is...

Yes, I'm 2 pages late. It is natural to want more and proceed that path. Keep in mind these trucks were designed and built via lowest bid contract to meet specific performance requirements, which they did. They were not built with the intent to be personally appealing as race cars after their...

"Cool". Ha, yeah, literally!

The winch clutch lever only has 2 positions, and the hinge latch holds it in the disengaged position (toward passenger side of vehicle). If you are able to free spool your winch, then you should be able to move the clutch lever while doing so (move the spool) and hear/feel it lock in, as you...

Could you have the + and - wires connected wrongly on the back of the alternator? With both black and the same length, they could easily be confused as soon as removed, as the red terminal cover is not stock. Or, I'm thinking you could have the B+ wire of the alternator going to the + of one...

Would have to start with the criteria of which the military disposes of equipment. I'm not certain, but I believe it to be either once a specific age is reached, or once the investment of maintenance and repair has reached 50% of the initial cost of the piece of equipment, it is then disposed...

:) I make a decent amount of $ rebuilding about 30 Kohler engines a year due to their weak design area(s). I'm not out to get anybody, I just didn't think telling somebody to run their generator virtually non-stop for a year is a reasonable thing to advise. Any MEP genset in civilian hands is...

I checked your website, saw the $2800 price, and I am also interested in the following: BTU rating of system for heating/cooling? Cold air outlet vent location(s)? Condenser location and cooling method? Diverter and blend door actuation method, if so equipped? Any fresh air/recirc selection...

That is a sweet pipe picture. Love the carnage shots.

Like a few things the US does, but not all of course, what they do is a little better in this case. Using a higher voltage in more electrically demanding situations keeps the current down and therefore wire size can be less, motor heat is lower, all of it. A load at 24V will pull half the...

Purchased a 60" BNC to FM radio antenna adapter to put use to the fender mount antenna on my 925A2. Also acquired a Mitsubishi 130 amp 24V J-180 short alternator and appropriate Cummins 8.3 civilian J-180 short alternator bracket for proper installation. Alternator is internally regulated...
