Angelo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Got the old girl running again. Used a block diode rectifier in place of original. Charging at 14v and ran for 3 hours with lights and sirens for Christmas parade and she ran great. Thanks to everyone’s help helping me work thru the issues Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73717-1952-mack-l85/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Great stuff, I think the secret now is to use it as things seem to give a lot less trouble when used often Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73717-1952-mack-l85/#findComment-544542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
