Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and here they are minus the transmission (apparently rolling a transmission across a hardwood floor in our house is frowned upon, who knew?!)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Oh I hear you, but knowing the General it is going to be a $30K kit, and with electric vehicles being around for a decade now and thanks to texting and driving (looking at you soccer moms) there is a cheap abundance of electric and hybrid components filling up our junk yards already with most wreckers having no idea what they are sitting on, I mean I scored a dual electric motor transmission for $700 bucks, I bet GMs electric motors run 10x that easy

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ford is already selling their "Eluminator" e crate motor. All available units sold out the day it went on sale. $3900 for a 210kW (281hp) motor not including inverter or battery. I suspect GMs e crate will probably be around the same price.
If your two motors combined provide similar performance you have found a much more affordable alternative. Good work Greg. Thanks for sharing all the details. Can't wait to see it go!

I am happy to report that the larger electric motor in my transmission is rated at 147 kW or 197 horse power, (remember that 750 watts equals 1 horse power) and don't forget there is another electric motor in there as well, ha ha so combined I am thinking 300 easy without even overvolting yet |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Now how are you going to run your accessories. At min you need lights but I figure you will want ps pb wipers and a radio?

we will use either a Volvo or some other brand of electric power steering pump, this is a very common swap, and keep our current stock steering box we will use an electric vacuum pump to provide vacuum to our stock brake booster the challenge will be the heater as it needs to be replaced with an electric element but there are a couple options for that as well and what's a "radio"? lOl |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Thanks Kyle I appreciate that, the next Phase will be to get all the wiring done/connected on the workbench (pronounced: "garage floor") we will also work on getting some sort of a mechanical contraption made to lock the input shaft so that Motor Generator #1 aka MG1 can then spin the output shaft along with MG2 (more horse powers)

Have you thought about putting in a fake engine to confuse people?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Instead of an electric PS pump, how about an electric PS unit from a saturn vue or another GM vehicle that can go in the steering shaft?

One obstacle I think is that most of the true electric Power Steering giddy ups are for a rack and pinion setup and we have ourselves a 100 year old steerin' box. but keep the ideas comin' and The Greg loves linky links, ha ha |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
thanks mate I had it spinin' last week, not braggin' just sayin' but since my laptop never showed me being in Park I thought I did something wrong, so I kept fumblin' with the Neutral Switch wiring, and testing, and testing, until I asked around the other folks who have done it, and they said, no worries mate the Laptop will never show you when it is in Park it only show's you when it is in Drive or Reverse
yup, I will never get the hours I lost to the transmission Safety Neutral Switch that week, ha ha |
