Thanks Greg!

Does anyone know offhand the freestanding length of a standard M998 front spring?

I did missile fire control aboard ship but went into the Navy with a heavy electronics and mechanics background. For the last 50 years I've done military radios, generally green because the gray ones were too heavy to collect! LOL

It's good to review this stuff occasionally because of all the new HMMWV owners out there that don't have any military background. Nobody teaches you this stuff in high school or college.

Ajax MD, The "other manuals" aren't for heavier trucks, they're the next level of service for them. This makes it important to pay attention to the front cover page where it tells you what trucks the particular manual is for. The TM 9 2320-280-xx are manuals for the HMMWV itself. The TM...

LS-671 speakers for SINCGARS radios. There were obviously 4 radios in the truck at one time as evidenced by the 4 antenna cables coiled up by the mounts.

McMaster Carr has them and they're available online. Just be careful you get shock mounts with long enough studs. https://www.mcmaster.com/isolation-mounts

Military gallons of DOT 5 silicon fluid look purple when it's in the container and anti-freeze yellow-green when poured.

What gear was your transfer case in?

Hello Rich, You didn't state why you feel you need more alternator power and at their high costs unless it's really necessary it's hard to justify the cost for a 200A setup. What are you thinking of running in your CUCV that needs that much power? Especially since the HMMWVs almost never run...

Well, that's how I found this posting so what can I say?

I'm still looking for a 10-30v LED lamp to replace the #303 running lamps in the composite taillights. Every LED that I've found is too bright. Is the only answer to paint them?

The search feature on SS is a great thing as almost anything you want to know has been discussed here. Take a look at this posting: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/economical-turn-signal-flasher-repair-option.132184/

I've used Buchanan crimp tools for years on my military connectors and they're cheap online. While the Daniels tools are what you always see, the Buchanan tools work just as well. Soldering is not a good option as the rigidity of the connection makes it more likely to break.

Linkage adjustment is probably the first step to resolving your issue but years back I had a manual transmission in an old MG that jumped out of gear unless I held it in and that turned out to be a bent shift fork inside. If someone tried to jam it into a different range hard enough they might...

papakb@yahoo.com Thanks

The covers for the 246/524 were issued by the Army back in the '60's and then pulled from service because they would cause the radios to overheat. The circuitry in the radio will turn the fan on if it detects too much heat even if the radio is off. This killed batteries in trucks that sat in the...

If you want to switch over to LEDs there are plenty of benefits to them. Lower current draw, longer life, and brighter output. Searching online you can find them priced all over the place and in almost every style and color you want. Just be careful with what you buy. They're made here in the...

These gauges are made by the lowest bidder and aren't always of stellar quality. I had an oil pressure gauge fail at one of the Portland shows and it took me 3 gauges that would match the readings I was getting on a mechanical gauge plumbed into the same location. Of the lot, the voltmeters...
