If they have the same part number on them, then maybe they're interchangeable. I don't have any experience with the dual-voltage alternators.

I highly doubt it.

Thanks! McMaster-Carr carries the Loctite 330, too. McMaster-Carr I'm not sure how long-lived that link will be.

Circuit 2 would be the alternator output that charges the batteries. So, if disconnecting that lead at the regulator eliminates the current drain, then it sounds to me like the regulator is bad. I don't know if they're repairable and/or easily found as a replacement part. None of my trucks have...

I have a 3-point belt MWO kit waiting to go in my HMMWV, too. Can you share the NAPA part number(s) for the adhesive?

The front/rear emergency glad hands are the usual air supply, and the truck's Basic Issue Items (BII) include a 20' hose with a glad hand at one end and an inflator with gauge at the other end. Here's the one that came with my truck: I've seen these hoses on eBay recently, if you want to get...

Nice. :driver:

Hmm, good idea. Or, since my welding skills are very primitive, I could just replace it with a larger prefab under-bed truck box? I have some other modifications in mind for the boxes, anyway. I'd like to rig the cab doors to be key-lockable, and one of my hare-brained schemes is to go all the...

I think it's normal for that 4-post solenoid to say 12V. The truck normally has a mix of 12V and 24V stuff on it. If the mechanics who worked on it aren't familiar with the CUCVs weird electrical system, they may be running around in circles and scratching their heads. I think you've come to the...

That sure sounds like your draw. Was that amps or milliamps? Is there a tag on the wire with a circuit number? If you can tell me the number, I'll look it up on the schematic so I can understand exactly what you disconnected.

You could have saved yourself some trouble by cut-n-pasting it from earlier in this very thread. ;)

That sounds oddly familiar...

Erik's Military Surplus lists the super rope on their web page. I've often wondered if it might be the same as one of the kinds of cord stock available from industrial suppliers like McMaster-Carr, but I haven't tried ordering any to compare yet.

Hey, see if this makes any sense: Ammeter usage : BASIC CONCEPTS AND TEST EQUIPMENT

LOL! I only know how to answer the first question: A multimeter can usually measure current, by disconnecting the circuit and connecting the meter in series. If you don't know what you're doing, you may blow the fuse in your meter... assuming it's not already blown. ;) Fluke ( a high-end meter...

If it were my truck, I'd use a current meter to see if the alternator is drawing current when the truck's off. Then if I saw a drain, I'd pull it out and start checking components inside the regulator. But then, I'm an electrical engineer and have fancy tools, and explaining how to do it isn't...

One of the mods I'm considering for my M923 is a self-retracting air hose reel for tire inflation and so forth. I've seen a few threads where folks have done that. I'd like to mount the reel inside one of the toolboxes both for security and to keep it cleanish. Unfortunately, both toolboxes are...

Very nice! I'm interested in seeing pictures of whatever you do with the crane, especially if you mount it on your M936A2. I think I'd prefer the knuckleboom from an MK17 for my project, particularly because of the way its outriggers swing up above frame level for stowage. I'm still curious...

Yup. I'm kicking myself for buying those danged CUCVs instead of bidding on an MK17 or three in the following week's auction. aua Oh, well, I just wanted the crane anyway, and would have sold off or scrapped the rest of the RBU long before the MK48 FPUs appeared on the scene.

I'm relieved to hear that there don't appear to have been any fatalities. I have no doubt that the pilots did everything in their power to choose the best available crash site, and only punched out when there was nothing else that they could do to control the plane's point of impact. The reports...
