    Designing Audio System for 24V

    Replace transformer (or the word) with DC to DC converter. Going to need a slave relay to save the contacts of the high amperage pull thru ignition switch. Not sure why you would need two converters? As shown how do you turn off the second one connecter to the power amplifier...

    Restoration sequence of events

    I agree 100 % Give it the wash it hasn't seen in years. Take notes written or mental as to your observations. Compare with your current knowledge and build on it with the TM's As you generate your "to do" list from above, you'll have a better understanding on the road of a fun hobby...

    Start box woes

    IMO, Before going to all that trouble (band aid) fix the ones you have. Thirty year old trucks driving through rivers, streams or wet climates with mixed metal connections (tinned copper lugs, aluminum body, steel engine block ) being loose ?? and add in a little current flow makes for a...

    BEOD Mounting

    Air lift bumper and Rino tire carrier is the ticket for not busting your back. Easy crank it down to the ground and roll tie around. Crank the blown tire up and go back down the road. ONLY problem is getting into the back end (top) quickly. Got to work the Rino a bit then swing it out of...

    Don't think that little robot is going to get that tire off the rack. Come to think of it, I don't think I could either. CAMO

    Front end alignment

    When I did mine, all four wheels, I ended up with a stack of leftover shims 6 inches tall. All said and done two or three at each location. Took two days by myself to dial it in. This was after all new suspension parts, upper & lower control arms, springs, shocks, etc. that was the week...

    Voltage Regulator Dead?

    The last one I saw was potted with a dark black epoxy looking stuff. Take it off and flip it over. Not much of a chance to repair, CAMO

    Just purchased 99 m998 and can’t start

    IMO, I would work one problem at a time to a successful repair. Those keyed switch can be problematic and there's no need to be going in circles on an already electrical issue. (I get it... switch is new, you know what your doing, only three wires, what could go wrong?) There can be a lot...

    Replacing the CV Axles

    TIP or TRICK...? Try blocking of the rotor to remove - replace the 6 half shaft bolts with truck tires off the ground. Front or rear. I slip a 5/8 open end wrench over a vent web in the rotor. With the angle of the open end... one way it will lock up in the rotor webs and can be held OR my...

    What do you have that is 24 volts? The CUCV's I have owned, 24 volt for the starter and any left over military radio needs (RT524) If you think about it even the glow plug system was 12 volts. IMO, Half assed way to meet military needs (remember CUCV) for 24 volts to haul around an extra...

    Mystery rim damage?

    Hard to tell... Not enough info as to what they were last mounted on. HUMMWV, Chevy, etc. My guess would be a tie rod clamp positioned wrong. Doesn't look quite what I have seen when wrong . Just a guess, CAMO
