    And all converters/controllers/regulators, consume power themselves. So, stacking two of them is probably going to make these tiny panels ineffective…

    solar panels - bat charging

    This is what I use between my 175w 12v panel mounted on my barn, and a cheap 24v charge controller that maintains the four 4D batteries in my truck and loader while they are slaved together over the winter. Unfortunately your input voltage is way too low for this converter. You would need...

    M1165A1B3FK5 Build

    Not sure if it’s still the case, but Super Swampers in general used to run bigger/closer to size than most other tire manufacturers.

    Is yours the little 4x5” panel? In my opinion thats one mistake the military made was mounting them on the cowl. Unless they always park their trucks facing south?

    solar panels - bat charging

    As small as these panels are, you could probably just throw an adjustable voltage boost converter on it, and not even worry about a charge controller. Somebody can probably tell us how many watts they are just by going off the panel size?

    Also have a 3/8”x8’ two leg Crosby for $50 if that works better for you? I also have a bunch of different size and lengths of raw lifting chain some like new, some used. If anyone is looking for a particular size let me know I will dig around. Thinking somewhere around 25% of new cost, whatever...

    2024 Findlay MV Show

    Looks to be a US 1/2 or 9/16” by 8’ four leg, one of the safety clips is not correct and a little bigger than the other three, and I don’t see a capacity tag on it, but would have to dig it out to be sure.I’m thinking $150, let me know if I’m way off on any of my prices. Also have a 3 ton...

    Plan in being there late Thursday, and Friday, only bringing items if interested. I have a 5 step aluminum boarding ladder, for SS members I will do $70, or better if you sell for good prices or helped me out in the past. Have a bunch of big shackles, will do 25% off or more. Search my...

    Open current voltage 4.4 of just the solar panel. Open current voltage 52.2 at the battery ring terminals on the output side of the solargizer.

    Slightly different, but aluminum, 6 steps, and 72x19x5.5” is 29LB

    Rate this front bumper modification...

    Sorry for taking us farther off topic, but you should do a search here on SS about XL’s. Don’t “upgrade” to older tires, no matter what your ZXL’s look like.

    Rate this front bumper modification...

    Yes, Michelin XL is directional tread but I don’t believe they have directional arrows on the sidewall. I believe the trucks were built with them in the correct orientation, after that all bets were off, and spare and such got installed on whatever side of the truck was needed. I had several...

    I don’t think they are a gimmick, the military just never used them properly, and don’t apply to most civilian usage. I’m think the bigger, more powerful version makes better sense for 90% of applications.

    Sounds about right I had 5-6 volts in my mind.

    Anyone have any troop seats for a 5 ton dropside or m35? Preferable nice, green fiberglass, but would even consider a “junk or rotten” set just for the hardware.

    Any chance one of those intercoolers will work in front of our m939 radiators? If so I’d be very interested!

    solar panels - bat charging

    If your dead set on those solargizer panels, post an ad in the parts wanted section, and install the complete unit, but know these little ones are meant to help maintain the battery level, not charge or keep up with any parasitic draws. With an aftermarket controller I think these little panels...

    solar panels - bat charging

    There is one on ebay for too many $. Search Solargizer. I have a NOS one I might let go, will have to see if I can find it. IIRC I checked the open current voltage of these tiny panels new, and it was minuscule. I will try to remember to post up a voltage number for you if I find it. I think the...

    Do the 915s have a pcb box? If so sounds like the shenanigans that they cause…

    Does anyone know where i can get a solenoid shut off mounting bracket or part number for my M939A2?

    Be careful before spending a lot of $ for the numbers G posted. The descriptions and pictures of those I’m finding don’t look correct, but it could just be the photos… These are pics of mine I may have an extra, but will be next week before I can look, and will have to think about whether I...
