    12 volt to trailer wiring

    I just succeeded in this conversion using various threads here at SS. My truck has the 24/14 volt charge system. Don't think that is a requirement for this, but what I did was pull off the rear battery for 12 volt and ran that through the 14+ circuit on the alternator. From there I ran to a...

    28v / 14v Alternator hookup question . . .

    That blows my mind. I never imagined grounding a positive volt output. Next chore is to find the safest routing for the new cable.

    28v / 14v Alternator hookup question . . .

    Oh wait. Looking now. I have a wire currently on the 14+ out put on the back of the generator. It looks like it goes to a ground on the back of the drivers cylinder head. How is this possible????

    28v / 14v Alternator hookup question . . .

    I am about to do this too, and please forgive me as I've read multiple threads and the N3134 documents but want to get it right. I just picked up a switch panel to mount so I can put in some interior lights, and of course I'd like a 12 volt port for a few basic things. #1 - pull healthy gauge...

    12 volt to trailer wiring

    That’s interesting. The trailer I’ll be towing I just put new LED bulbs in this summer. I wonder if they are 10-30. I need to find that out.

    12 volt to trailer wiring

    Is there a gadget that gets 12 volt out to a trailer light pigtail? Also, I have the dual voltage generator. I have no idea if this will help with that or not.

    M998 6.2 Water pump/fan clutch help please

    Awesome! I just went out there after reading this and saw the small bolts. I'm going to give that a shot in the morning. Can I get a rebuild/seal kit for that unit somewhere as well? I'm also thinking replacing the fan now might be a good idea. I've read stories of them breaking. Looks...

    M998 6.2 Water pump/fan clutch help please

    Hey guys - first post. I'm not understanding the instructions for how to get the fan clutch off a 1988 6.2 M998. I pulled the cooling module as it needs cleaning, detail, etc. The water pump is shot. I got the hydraulic link off (1/2 nut in the center). I can't get the pulley to line up...
