I have the 12v version of that. How does the 18v work?
What are you working on today?
- Thread starter Amkeer
- Start date
WAY better. Has a built-in cooling fan, too
Plenty of guys convert 'em but I've never dug into it.
Scooter got a look over. Only a 2020 but had 100 miles when I got it last October, 1550 now. Changed the plug to a Iridium, battery mount and both terminals were loose.. 2nd scoot almost lost a battery. Checked the belt and cleaned the CVT filter that was almost plugged. Went ahead tore the dash apart and flushed the brake fluid, probably a waste but at least I know the condition now.
RV wise.. Put a fender guard back on the passenger side. Changed the faucet and drilled a hole for the sprayer. Found all the brackets missing for the sink.. yah another task. Going to measure and order another bathroom sink and faucet here a bit.

I have a 6.5 and the starter is 12 volt.
Installed a new center link and idler arm on the Caddy to correct a ton of steering slop, along with a custom transmission kickdown switch I ordered from the 'Bay. I ended up getting probably the OLDEST center link left in the warehouse, a Made in USA TRW that looked like it had 30 years of dust on the box. Regardless, I'll take a US-made part any day, especially for the $9.14 closeout price I paid RA for the privilege.
The original kickdown switch was MIA, and wouldn't have worked with the current Edelbrock carb due to a completely different linkage setup. This little fellow bolts to the right rear carb mounting stud with an aluminum bracket, and the switch itself is mounted on slots for a ton of adjustability. The idea is under full throttle, the lever for the secondaries swings up and closes the switch, activating the kickdown solenoid inside the transmission. Works a treat for $30!

do you have 1 battery?
Watched Doc Harley show me how to remove my Sportsters carb and remove fuel inlet and how to replace it....it was easy , but witout his video I would not have at done it...maybe. 50 bucks in parts, Im guessing the Harley dealership would have charged 300 bucks

So why 2 batteries? Are you sure its 12V
No light duty civilian diesel truck uses 24V, The batteries are wired Parallel....Same voltage, Twice the Amps.
Yep, parallel = 12V
In series = 24V
right.
i suppose the "heavy duty" non civilian version uses 24 for starting only.
thinking abot a 12v conversion if something ever fails
maybe cold start power...
Nah, they don’t need that much juice. Ships Inwas on; starters used air psi to start diesel generators. Keep it simple
