Or take the cap off of the STE-ICE connector and put your meter leads between pins E and F. This is battery voltage. The gauges are lowest bidder products and behave that way. Your alternator may be perfectly fine and your voltmeter could be crap. This goes for every one of them. The small...
The uppers are held in place with hogrings. They're C shaped staples that get crimped around the rods in the covers. The lowers are held in with some C shaped clips that just snap around the lower frame tubes. The sets run around $200 for any color and the cordura outlasts the canvas of the...
Just a note on the bridge plate. The normal number for a HMMWV is 04. The retaining plate that goes across the top is blank on one side and has a C on the other. When you're pulling a trailer you show this to let the bridge control people know that the number represents the combined weight of...
You can read the alternator output/battery voltage on pins E and F of the STE-ICE connector. The voltage adjustment on the 60 amp alternator is located under a hex plug near the wire connection cover on the top of the alternator. The adjustment is done with a phillips head screwdriver and is...
That's the mount for the 117F model, something we're likely never to see in the public. It's slightly different but could be made to work with a D model set. Thank you for the link.

Over the years I've built speakers that were only amplified speakers like this one powered either by the radio or an external power source. Powering from the radio itself simplifies the wiring to a single plug. I've also built amplified speakers that had a handset connector for remote operation...
I'm thinking of building up some amplified LS-454 speakers to go with the PRC-25/77 radios that would power directly from the battery connector on the radio and wondered if there was any interest in them. Please let me know.

In most of the military radios like the VRC-12 series you would have to change the tone generator and then the 150Hz filter that I think is down in the discriminator to receive the new tone. And even after doing that you could talk to civy rigs but not other military radios unless they were...
I recently added a Yale P-82 deadbolt to my ambulance body so that I could access it from the back rather than having to crawl through the passenger compartment. Thought I'd share the idea.

For your first go-round leave the radio in low power mode and make sure you have a VSWR meter inline with the antenna to measure forward versus reflected power. Key up the transmitter and see what it reads. If your forward to reflected power is 3:1 or better try high power. There's nothing...
I'm looking for a set of seat belts for the ambulance that have longer nylon straps. No latches needed. What I would like is a set of belts with the webbing dimension of around 120" extended. This is from the outlet of the retractor to the end of the nylon but does not include any metal...
McMaster-Carr is a first class outfit to do business with. Their online catalog can be a little confusing at first but they have almost anything you could need from hardware to locking door handles. www.mcmaster.com
I just spent a week bouncing around on a fresh set of WeeBee Webbings cordura seat covers in 383 green and they're absolutely the best. Dave and Donna can provide covers in almost any color you want and their work is always first class! I'm sure if you email or contact then directly they can...
First off measure the high voltages on the A9000 module and make sure they're in spec. Your looking at 275 and 700 volts here so if your not comfortable with that find someone who is. This can be dangerous. Then measure the RF into the PA module on the gray cable with an RF power meter. If...
