Oh well... No injuries other than pride.
One time I ran over a full can of orange making paint, on a brand new concrete floor in the shop.
In front of several employees to witness the event.....
Needless to say, I bought a few dozen donuts for that error.
When going to remote radio locations and for some over-landing adventures, it's always nice to have a generator. Finding a good place to secure the generator on a CUCV with a S250 shelter is a challenge. Keeping it inside the shelter is nice, but not desirable.
With no other suitable mounting...
It's a lot of work but it sure is handy having 40 gallons of fuel on long trips. We used a M1009 fuel door and associated metal as well.

A good GP should have a resistance reading around 1 ohm. A bad GP will show a higher...
Great information Ken,
Trying to find people that can take a logical step by step evaluation on troubleshooting is difficult. The process of elimination seems to be a lost art. More times than not, it is something simple. ON/OFF switches seem to really confuse some people.
Many people are...
I know the feeling.
Once I unplugged a 330 watt paging transmitter while it was still transmitting. I thought it was off the air but it was still putting out power. Any unexpected arcs can be surprising when you experience them.
At least you were able to accomplish the repairs by yourself with...
The new cards have components that are heavier duty, we added an "Additional Heat option" for those engines that will not start when warm, a Flashing Wait light option and a metal stud so one can easily add a momentary push button without any modifications to the OEM wiring harness.
