    Why FreightTrain was banned...

    I am glad the mods are on top of things. I like a clean forum. If I want to talk about other stuff then I can start my own forum.

    Prc-77 ,

    I second the battery adapters. It is much easier to keep D cells on hand and the adapters work great. I have one for each of my PRC-25s

    test rig for handsets

    You could try two intercoms. No transmitting with them. GRA-39 IIRC. I have two. They use the same handset. We used them on the gun line. Called them Bltch boxes. I was the operator of the box for a while and always had a pencil with eraser with me because the contacts always were problematic...

    more M818 questions

    I would buy an older commercial tractor for this. That kind of weight is going to slow you down a lot on hills. Remember these were designed to run in convoys doing 45 mph. If you are just going to local events I see no problem but any more than a hundred miles and I would get a commercial tractor.

    Do Not deal with Darrel Braun

    Was any of this done by internet? If so contact IC3. If it was just over the phone you may not be able to file an ic3 report. As for federal charges, I have heard good things when multiple people are scammed and have filed IC3 reports. As for the feds working just your case I would doubt it. Try...

    Do Not deal with Darrel Braun

    He has done plenty of stuff to be charged with crimes. The problem is people do not follow through and even if they do prosecution if difficult with him moving around all the time. If he gave you false info credit card info why don't you file a report and get the ball rolling on prosecuting...

    M818 Shock part #'s

    I have some take offs that I got before I sold my 818. If you want brand new I can't help but if take offs will do I will let them go for $10 each plus the ride.

    ? on cab ringmount plate rivets

    I have a question on this. I have seen the plates for sale but my government installed kit came with small corner braces for the top of the corners of the cab. Are you guys getting these and installing them with your kit or is is just the large plate. Also, my plate is actually one large plate...

    ? on cab ringmount plate rivets

    Check my other thread on the subject for the information on welds. Basically the top two braces in the corner were welded along the perimeter. The military puts in the pop rivets and there are approx 70 of them. The welds should work put I would think that pop rivets would be quicker.

    ? on cab ringmount plate rivets

    9/16 is way too big. I would guess around 1/4 inch but it is hard to measure them when the shank is in the backside or the plate. The flat head may be 9/16 but the actual shank diameter is the one that they are sized by. It looks 1/4 inch would be real close and mine seem to be steel rivets. If...

    ? on cab ringmount plate rivets

    Other than saying they are pop rivets I can't help.

    glow relay

    I am sure this would have come up with a search but also check the cucv faq. It has the relay listed under the glow plug system. The faq is a sticky in the cucv forum. Give the man a fish or teach him how to fish.

    Some info on water cure CARC

    It is not like they say add water to make it cure. Milspec sheets are not paint data sheets. You are comparing apples to oranges on this. The milspec sheet tells suppliers what they want the paint to do and what they expect of the paint. The contractor then works up a paint to match all the...

    Some info on water cure CARC

    Taken directly from the Carc Data sheet from Shermin Williams. The full version is also attached. MIL-DTL-53039B, Type I coatings are 3.5 VOC single component moisture cure aliphatic polyurethane camouflage chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) for military equipment. They conform to...

    Gas dripping out rust holes in the exhaust?

    If you have bad gas in the carb then you need to clean it out. Even new gas down the carb will not fire off if you have bad gas in the carb. If you are pouring the fuel down the carb then this may be why you have so much in the exhaust.

    Some info on water cure CARC

    For those using the older water cure solvent based one part carc I have a little advice. The biggest problem with this stuff is the water in the air will start the curing process so Shermin Williams recommends using the whole gallon at once. Once thing the manager at the store told me was to...

    M1009/M1008 Coolant Reservoir/Tank

    Is this one different than the normal Blazer overflow tank? I would guess so based on this thread. I just got one from another SS member for my cucv. Thanks to Brian1.

    CUCV electrical issues (of course)

    There are steering wheel pullers that are very cheap at most auto stores. Look on the steering wheel and you will see a couple of threaded holes. The puller is usually a flat round piece of metal. Two bolts through holes in the metal then into the threaded holes in the steering wheel. The center...
