You need to compare the diagram in the TM to the truck. You might find minor differences but they are mostly the same.

Your upload speed test is faster than mine Scott. I would think you should have no problem. Good luck working it out.

Scott, just for fun check the size of a picture you are uploading. I just looked at the two pictures you uploaded of the fuel can and they are about 54KB each and 800x600. I also checked all the pictures I have uploaded over the years and the biggest was a little over 90KB and most were under...

Just machine a sample and cut it in half if you can't settle the argument using a model and measuring. A physical sample of the end product will answer all the questions.

With the engine running install a jumper from the battery terminal on the back of the alternator to the #! regulator terminal (one on the left looking at the alternator from the rear). This will turn on the regulator and start the alternator charging if it is working. Do this for each alternator...

Try uploading a couple pictures at a time and then edit the post until you get them all loaded.

It should run 55 easily. When I got my M929 and first hit the interstate, it ran right up to 60+ mph with no problems. I'm thinking this will be a shorter return trip than I thought. Then I noticed the tach slowly going over 2300 rpm. I realized the tach was dragging so I slowed down to 55~57...

I have run two group 31 batteries in my M818 and also currently in my M929 with no problems.

Right.

Looks like the tires are flattened a little in picture #4. Either the CTIS is set low or there is serious weight on the truck.

If you are not sure or all batteries are low, I would disconnect all of them and charge them individually.

Scott, did you figure out why the solar wasn't charging the house batteries correctly at the GA rally? You have a pretty impressive solar power system. I would think it had to be something simple.

Cadmium plating was mostly phased out in the mid-90's. Lot's of the hardware I spec'd originally as cadmium with yellow treatment was changed to yellow zinc as the cost and availability made the cadmium impracticable. I'm pretty sure you can still get cadmium plating, I think it will be expensive.

I found a video that has a pretty good shot of our group. We are at 13:32. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4NMKEaTSQ4

What size equalizer did you use?

Welcome from Orlando, FL. Nice looking truck.

Yes, get a voltmeter and check the voltage at the batteries. The driver side alternator charges the front battery and the passenger side alternator charges the rear battery. Check the voltage at each battery at idle and also while running the engine at higher rpm.

He has an album with pictures of the swap.

I had the same problem going to the GA Rally this year. I posted a thread on rebuilding the alternator and I also sell rebuild kits and misc. parts for the Delco p/n1105500 alternators. Rebuild thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146703-CUCV-Alternator-Rebuild Classified ad...

Here are some pictures from the Orlando parade. Thanks to ODFever for organizing our participation in this event.
