Changing a 60 amp to a NIEHOFF 100 Amp Dual Voltage Generator

[Mayor Joe]

Has anyone installed a 100 Amp Niehoff Gen as replacement for a 60 AMP?
I have a 1991 M998 Hmmwv with 6.2L engine and 60 AMP Generator. I also have a good NIEHOFF 100 AMP Dual Voltage Generator that I was thinking of installing. Found parts / installation figures in TM 24P, but it refers to the Niehoff being installed in the A2 model. Any thoughts or tips?

Thanks - Joe

Why do you want to change it?

Why do you want to change it?

I'm interested in changing it because:

1) If the 60 Presotlite fails, I have access to 100 amp Niehoff Generators (12423625) Dual voltage
2) I'm not necessarily changing it - I'm curious if it's been done and whether the 100 amp dual will retrofit easily (and how) as a back up option and to provide a 12v circuit.

I don't think the mounting ears are the same. What model niehoff is it?

You need a cast iron bracket....the 60 amp Alum. bracket won't hold up.
100 amp V belt pulley shaft hole is bigger also.

It's done all the time, as well as 200amp upgrades. The 60amp was discontinued and the 100 for awhile was the replacement, now it's the 200 amp...thats what the MWO was for.
