The RT-524 was introduced during the Vietnam era and was used past 2000 because the Sincgars radios had so much trouble when first introduced. That MT-1029 mount will hold quite a few radios, RT-524, RT-246, GRC-125, GRC-160, PRC-660 so it's a good flexible system. With the exception of the...
I've been looking in the classifieds for a HMMWV tack but thought I'd look a little closer to home. I need one of the "terminal strip" model tachs and wondered if anuone know if anuone has them available?
TIA
That sensor is an RPM detector that's used by the STE/ICE test set to measure engine RPM. It doesn't report to anything else and is not critical to the operation of the vehicle.
It can be used to send a signal to the tachometer if you have one installed.
It's a well known fact that when the coupling between the filler neck and the tank either loosens up or cracks from dry rot the tanks leak when filled. Get up under the vehicle and check the hoses and clamps. Remember some of these trucks are now going on 37 years old and rubber doesn't last...
The schematic diagrams for the electrical systems in the HMMWVs are at the very end of the -30-3 manuals. There are several of them there and they reflect most of the variants of the HMMWV. If you go looking for your specific model it may or may not show up but keep in mind that about 90% of...
Why are you bothering with this gadget when all you need to do is install the wide range LEDs in the existing lamp sockets? There's no rewiring involved and replacing the lamps is as simple as removing the covers and replacing the bulbs. Our world is complex enough without creating issues.
The only thing that needs to be close to the batteries is the converter box that provides the high voltage spikes to keep the batteries from sulfating. The solar panel itself can be anywhere and comes with about 15 feet of wire.
I mounted mine in the center of the hood between the radiator opening and the windshield thinking the curious can see it but they can't touch it. I mounted it with wellnuts to simplify the mounting and to add a little vibration protection to it. The wiring I ran down inside the channels on the...
Gentlemen, This was my error and I apologize for it. The correct part number is their 4367 thermostat with a diameter of 2.5" with an opening temp of 180 degrees.. Their 4364 is only 2.12" in diameter and as Mogman points out it WILL NOT FIT.
Valor, Are you looking for the same information? I think this system is one of the least understood additions to the HMMWV and I think there are an awful lot of people looking for this information. Those of you that retro'd a tach and it worked are lucky, let's find out what needs to be does...
Does anyone know if there is a way to test the HMMWV tachs before installing them? Is there a bench test for them and the RPM sensor? Is this thing a Hall Effect sensor?
Thanks
TECHNICAL MANUAL, something you need to become familiar with if your going to own a HMMWV. It's surprising how so many people out there are willing to spend the high dollars that it takes to get involved with a vehicle like this and then are completely ignorant of the thousands of pages of...
First off I'd tell you to go back and enter this into the search bar and then read the multiple inquiries your going to find there. Next I'd ask you what amateur band would you like to operate on since the band will determine the antenna. The most common military antennas in the military are...
