The radios that were installed in the 151s were really mission dependent but the most commonly fitted ones were the VRC-12 family of radios. These are the RT-246/524 and R-442 as mentioned above. The older VRC-3 series radios like the one in the first picture were being phased out of the...

I've built adapters for people over the years and think they're a thing of the past today. The multivoltage LEDs that are out there are a much better option and will outlive any incandescent lamp made and you'll never have to open up a lamp housing to change one after the first time. That's...

I had to chuckle about your comment on "noticeable improvement in fuel economy". From 10.5 mpg to 10.52mpg? LOL Your never going to get an environmentalist to look favorably on one of these vehicles.

The fact that your engine started with the 54a wire pulled could be an indication of a problem with the IP. Are you sure you pulled the fuel shutoff wire and not the cold advance solenoid? The truck shouldn't start with that wire disconnected and it's what lots of HMMWV owners use as a...

Luckily for us the machining equipment used to make the engines is so much better today maybe that'll offset the loss of good lubrication. I remember years ago they used to say that as long as the oil was kept clean it never wore out and it was only the byproducts of the combustion that...

There's a lot of controversy about which glow plugs are the best but I have used standard military surplus glow plugs for the last 18 years without problems. They seem to be like everything else, when your times up it's up.

The headlight buckets are standard military pattern and mount on 3 rubber anti-vibration mounts. The inner headlight carrier is mounted on 3 spring brackets so they can be aligned and the front retaining ring is also a 3 hole mount but be aware, they aren't equally spaced and will only fit...

Owens Export has been selling them forever too. http://www.owens-export.com/ Whenever I've used this tool I always put a dab of anti-seize on the threads to keep it from binding. All it takes is a touch of it, it doesn't need to be completely coated. It's also a good idea to put a little...

GAA stands for Grease, Automotive and Artillery. This goes all the way back to the second war if not before. This is a case where the original isn't necessarily the best because in the last 70 years there have been incredible improvements in lubricants thanks mainly to the space program and...

If 6-32 is too small the next standard size up is 8-32. PM me a mailing address and I'll send you a couple stainless screws.

Sometimes Harbor Freight has them as give aways free with other purchases if you have one near you. You don't need anything exotic for automotive work so even the cheapies will work for. And Norm, you know no HMMWV job is complete without a blood sacrifice! LOL BTW, S3 is the protective...

White smoke it typical of unburnt fuel and may be a sign that you have some bad glow plugs. You can check them with a multimeter on the resistance scales. If they read around 1-2 ohms they're good, if they read high resistance or open they need to be replaced. This problem appears worse in...

When you get pissed because the truck is being a PITA and you thrash out and kick the firewall with your left foot you'll find the control box, in fact, that was an old Marine Corps fix for trucks that didn't want to start! It's mounted beneath the deck where the windshield washer tank is...

Conventional thinking is that current is the flow of electrons from negative to positive. The purpose of the grounding kit is to eliminate potential differences ideally there shouldn't be any current flowing in the ground system.

The 60Gs require a connector change from round bullet to blade. I just Googled non swelling glow plugs and there are several sites that offer them. Amazon has Wellman direct replacements with bullet pins available and might be the fastest way to get some if you need them right away, and they're...

Soldering Packard connectors isn't recommended because the solder wicks up into the wire and creates a stiff point that is subject to breaking when the wires get flexed.

Let me see how I can send it to you Juan. If anyone else would like a copy of this file please PM me with an email address. Kurt

Download a copy of this TM: TM 9-2320-387-24P It has the part numbers for the engine, trans, and AC systems.

I'd never thought about this before but hitting the throttle to the floor is the same thing you do when you ford a vehicle. What this does is causes the fan to disengage for about 20 seconds. We all know the fan is a load on the engine when it's running, I wonder if releasing it allows the...
