So my tevan just recently died on me. I was sitting at a stop light. The light turned green, and I pushed down on the accelerator. I noted that I had forgot to...
Nick, When I worked at GE back in 1995 I remember killing a control by running in second gear from low speeds. In a perfect world this should never happen,...
When I sold my TEVan to Jeff Richards, one of the controllers had died. He did find some replacements IGBTs and fixed the controller. I don't know where he...
My name is Darrell, I live in California, where transportation energy, and emmision is a factor. (Los Angeles rated the dirtiest city in America) In becoming...
Hello fellow TEVan owners, My van seems to be slowly leaking some motor cooling fluid (which I understand is the trans/ differential fluid, pumped through the...
Thought I'd give the latest on my charging questions. I learned that the long charging cycle happens because the final 5-10% of charging is done at a very low...
Jerry, Sounds like the tube that connects the outside of the motor to the bottom of the transmission would be the most likely culprit. That tube has flared ...
Hello Everyone, Folks with 3 more TeVans have recently contacted me and I have invited them to join the group. Our numbers are updated in the following list. ...
I recently discovered 3 TeVans local here in Atlanta. It is kind of a long story, but the short version is that two of them are owned by a friend of mine who ...
Now that I've been running and charging it for a while, it's clear that it is not overwatering or overcharging. It takes a long time to finish off the charge-...
Hello all, If the Nicad batteries are in an extremely cold environment, below zero F for days, does anything need to be done to protect the batteries and the...
Has anyone replaced the blower motors for Dodge TEVan motor cooling fans with better ones? The original ones seem to eat up brushes in nine months/1500 miles...
Jerry, I put in a BLDC blower motor that we make at my current employer, Ametek. This blower ran off the 13.8Vdc Vicor converter. This blower puts out more ...
Jerry, I replaced mine with 12V DC totally enclosed ones that I found on E-Bay. The shaft was the same as original of 5mm and the impeller pressed onto the ...
Jim and Rod, Thanks for the quick replies! I think I'll take you up on your offer Rod, nt because it's free, but it sounds like I'll get better cooling. I'll...
TEVan'ers, The "new" part of that is me as the owner. I have just purchased a TEVan and I have a couple of questions, well... maybe three. I need to move it a...
Walt, I have a new compressor for the TEVan that I believe is complete. Send me a picture of the exact part you need and I'll take pictures of what I have....
Walt, Towing in neutral would not be a drive-train issue as nothing would be turning. I would be careful about turning resistance with the power steering off....
I am suddenly getting a LXT (-51) code on startup. The code definition says bad caps. Does anyone know a source for replacement caps? The PNs are -- philips...
Steve, I still have caps that have never been used (electrolytic's supposedly have a shelf life, but I'm not real familiar with the issues, certainly an unused...
Steve, I have NiCads. The previous owner inspected the apparatus built for towing and noted that there is a beefy bar underneath just back of the bumper...
Thanks Rod, any help you could be would be appreciated. Two of my caps have an odd discoloration (brown) on the bottom outside corner so it seems as if ...
I checked out Cornell Dublier's website and could not find a direct replacement (size is critical for this control, can't be too long or it runs into the ...
All of the capacitors I measured were 1500 uF +/- 10uF and had an ESR of 20 milliohms, which sounds correct for this size capacitor. Let me know if you want...
Hi Rod, thanks for all your efforts. That's great help. I would certainly like to try three of them and am more then happy to pay for them. You have been of...
All, I though maybe I had fallen off the listserv but in checking I see that there there have been no messages posted since August 29th. Is everybody that...
Rod, Thanks for being there. My new (to me) TEVan just became fully operational yesterday with the installation of some much larger, and noisier, motor cooling...
