If your lucky the data plate will have a delivery date stamped on it but if not it's a crap shoot. I have seen vehicles with dates on the data plates that get registered with the year they were first entered into the DMV system. I have a friend who has an M151A2 that is registered as a '95...

About the only additive I believe in is Red Line's Water Wetter in the cooling system. Everything else gets properly repaired. I had a bad experience with additives in my M37 years back and it taught me a lesson never to use them. Kurt

The moisture is trapped in the housing during manufacturing. If it's a wet day so are your gauges.

The solution is to drill 2 small holes in the gauge housing and then flow clean, dry air or nitrogen thru them. After half an hour of purging the gauge seal the holes with a dab of silicon sealant.

This is one of two 10mm starter bolts. I have had bad luck with buying them from auto parts stores but have had very good luck with the original AMG parts I got from Dave Walker at Walker truck parts in Hesperia, California. I had one of these break and fall out of my truck one day when the...

Naila, The Korean era round taillights will drop right in in place of the Jeep taillights but your going to have to do some cutting to get the later composite taillights into the body. Either way you can either just replace the 24v bulbs with 10-30 volt LEDs and your good to go. To mount the...

Picked up my ticket 25 years ago to make fixing radios legit and for the rare times we use 6 meters. Lots of great people out there interested in radio and MVs. Kurt KG6KMJ

I was on the creeper under my truck doing a routine inspection when I looked up and saw that my power steering pump was getting ready to fall out. I had no indications anything was wrong beforehand but when I saw it I realized the new noise I had been hearing was coming from there. You might...

There are plenty of the Racal RA5400 raptor headsets out there that are noise cancelling that will work with the VIC-1 with the small adapter box that I build to supply power to the noise cancelling circuitry. We have used them on several different PRC series radios and the RT-246/524s.

There are a couple of good antennas that can be used with the RT-524s. The early AT-912 antennas (rectangular shape MX-2799 base) were introduced with the radios in the mid-60s. They were replaced with the AS-1729 (round MX-6707 base) to cut costs. Later on the AS-3900 antennas were...

Does this happen only for a minute or two after starting or is it continuous? If it only happens fro a minute or so then it's a normal occurrence as the glow plugs cycle until the truck starts to warm up. If it goes on much longer than that it's usually an indication that the brushes in your...

Any updates?

Wirefox, Did you cellphone provide power to the USB box or did you power it externally? I have 4 of them and haven't used them for anything at this point. My plan was to use them with some of the mil computers I have but your comment on using them with an andriod phone have me interested...

Not that I'm aware of but the folks at Burklin Electronik should be able to help you find them. The military connector world is not for the novice When you go looking for them you have to specify the connector size, the contact size, the contact configuration, the backshell type and shape you...

As long as the land is open for public use I don't see why not. BLM land should be OK and private property as long as it isn't posted as No Trespassing. The real issue is how are you going to get it there?

There are already drain holes stamped in the floor during production in the areas where the X depressions in the floors are. About half of the HMMWVs you see have had them enlarged when some trooper jammed the end of the pick-maddox down thru them, so no, there is no downside to having holes in...

Thank you for your offer, I would be happy to have them and will be glad to cover all transportation charges. Please PM me with your information and the costs when you have time.

Please PM me when you have a chance. Thanks

DCIV, If your alternator isn't putting out anything it's shot and needs to be replaced. Or at least the regulator or brushes do. That adjusting pot only has a 270 degree rotation so don't force it when making adjustments. Your only going to get about a 5 volt adjustment from one end to the...
