    Oh very cool! Just brought home my first 3d printer last night, so this might be the first thing I print with it:) thanks.

    Double alternator

    If it is weatherproof, it can also take the place of the PPD/LBCD, which is also an easy place to wire it in.

    M1078 A0 Seperation of Engine and Transmission

    The inner shaft brakes the 3rd planetary sun gear using the p6 clutch at the rear, to get us that low 1st gear. The outer extension shaft driven by the 3rd planetary in the trans slides thru and drives the top gear of the transfer gearbox.

    Double alternator

    The balancers are waterproof typically most of the 24-12 converters are not. Pitting the 24-12 in the dash makes the wiring dead simple as that is where the 12 v goes anyway… only reason to put it in the box is if you are using a “balancer(output exactly 1/2 of input)…

    M1078 A0 Seperation of Engine and Transmission

    There are actually 2 shafts, one inside the other. The inner shaft engages the P6 clutch under the rear cover plate. I believe the transfer case slides over that extension shaft, so must be unbolted from the front of the extension housing… i seem to recall a sneaky(hidden) bolt in there...

    Double alternator

    Well there was someone selling a “double alt” once upon a time, no support and not well built… it was basically 2 alternators connected end to end. I have seen one using a custom mount that used two common alternators side by side, which kinda shorts one of them for belt-pully contact area…...

    The exploded diagrams in the parts manual(24P) might be of assistance here…

    1996 LMTV M1078

    well every other truck has the PTO on the drivers side Along with all the other stuff… Not sure if the scavenger pump and its mount is symmetrical enough to be just flipped over the top(to maintain same direction of rotation). Then you would have to figure out how to plumb from the suction...

    M1078 A0 Seperation of Engine and Transmission

    look at page 7-28.4 in the 34-2 service manual(M1078_TM 9-2320-365-34-2). Either 12 or 6 flexplate bolts, accessed thru bottom cover or screw in plug on the front of the bell housing, depending on vehicle serial number...

    have you removed the flexplate mount bolts(connects TC to flywheel)?

    LMTV Wiring/No Crank

    Save your money and put in a straight 24v alt and use a 24-12 converter to feed the truck 12v loads. pulling the 12 out of the middle of the 24v on the alternator cuts its output by nearly 1/3 at full load, so a straight 24v 100A alt will actually deliver more than the dual volt “100A“...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Re-configuring my panel a bit to accommodate an A1 ex brake/warmup switch. Also decided to add a direct 4X4 switch. This switch is a 4x4 sw out of a case-International Harvester tractor(same config as the OEM panel switches). I am going to add a small lamp test pushbutton under the idiot panel...

    Odd voltage spike issue

    Or it could be an alt or regulator fault driving full field at random… gotta rule out all the connections/basics first though…

    Odd voltage spike issue

    What general said. This sounds like it could be a bad connection back to the batteries. Or as suggested a bad ground. Alternator and battery work as a team. You drop your battery load and the alternator can surge in voltage before the regulator can reign it back in. your comment about it...

    Accessory battery

    That's why i asked how you were planning on charging the battery. with a 24-12 converter that would work, but what is the point? You have 24v and the converter provides the 12, what would the added battery do for you?
  19. R

    Accessory battery

    How are you going to charge the extra battery? You either have enough power available from a 24-12 converter to run the lights or you don’t. A battery in the middle of that circuit isn’t going to really do anything for you except cause charging issues as your 24-12 converter needs to be...
