Did you convert to 12v or are you driving it off of one battery, or both at twice the speed?

@rangerismine 8 күн бұрын

@@SP-wk1en I converted it to 12 volts with the Roscommon conversion instructions. It still has two batteries, but they are wires in parallel instead of series, so the winch will pull from both. The factory alternator on these is 100amps, so no problems at all. Two alternators is just way overkill.

If you take the pulley system from a 6.5 you can have one belt. You will need to change the water pump and the power steering pump and bracket with it. I put a 6.5 from a 1998 Sierra in my 81 Chevy. I even found an AC unit from a 91 suburban and hooked up the AC using the compressor that was already on the engine. In the winter, I unbolt the compressor and strap it to the wheel well and I put the hydraulic pump for the plow gear where the AC goes.

@@rangerismine everything from a 6.5 will fit on a 6.2. all of the 6.5s have a serpentine belt. They also all have a spot for a vacuum pump on the alternator bracket. The alternator from a 98 6.5 only has one wire to the small plug. You just need to snip the plug off the old alternator and join it to the new one. You can use an idler in place of the AC if needed
