I've gotta agree with Mario, a 17 year old 11B could get this thing unstuck in about 2 minutes but then that might entail getting out of the vehicle and getting mud on your boots. LOL

The procedure in the maintenance manual is very detailed and if you follow it you'll be fine.

All of the PCBs and ESSS systems have always had issues connecting and disconnecting with the batteries connected. The original PCBs were fairly foolproof because they were mainly relay based systems. With the advent of the replacements they started getting more and more solid state devices...

When can we expect to see some additional information and pricing on your kits? Summers coming.

The quick disconnects are made by a company called Aerovantage Controls. Here's the CAGE code information on them. You can Google them or contact them directly for sales locations. 2116 Dunn Rd. [map] Hayward, CA (California) 94545 Alameda County / Region United States Phone (510)...

Don't mess around when it comes to power circuits in your truck or your asking for trouble. Center tapping batteries is a perfect example of this. Your best bet is to either buy a voltage dropping converter but you want to use something rated at least 50% over the expected draw for safety...

I found when I mounted the fan to the clutch that a short piece of conduit fit precisely in the center aligning the fan to the clutch. This can be a little tricky after you've ground off the protrusions. Kurt

I've had my HMMWV for 15 years now and have experienced everything from total amazement to total a$$****s. 99.9% of the time it's all positive, the other .1% is amazing. My Lexus driving father in law asked me why anyone would want one of these trucks. I simply replied that I didn't know why...

The design of the brake light actuator switch in the HMMWV is a joke! There's no adjustment other than the position of the switch and there's NO free throw adjustment of the linkage at all. Just a simple linkage between the pedal and the switch. So when you actuate the switch by hand your...

Great idea for pressurizing the tank! Sweet and simple. Just make sure you don't have the compressor regulator set at 100 psi!!!! Reading the first posting I was wondering if you couldn't crack open the fuel filter bleeder in the drivers wheelwell and use a MightyVac (hand vacuum pump) to...

The deck plate is a separate piece that attaches from below the deck. The 2 on the duct can be replaced 2 ways. Either punch out the old ones and leave the bits and pieces in the duct and install 5/16 rivnuts/nutserts in their place or remove the duct and replace the 1/4-20 rivnuts that are in...

A worn or stretched chain in the T/C will cause this.

Using a voltage regulator to power 12 volt accessories off of 24 volts is the only safe way to go. Polarity reversal is very unusual since lead zinc batteries tend to polarize by the nature of their plates when electrolight is added. You haven't mentioned what alternator setup your running in...

I've only seen 1 radio personally and it had cards missing so we never powered it up. They may have been crypto stuff but who knew? I have never been able to find anything about this radio from a technical aspect and since they appear to have been made for a specific customer in Iran we...

Hi Carnac, I've got a couple of the Miltope PSM80s that I re-hard drived with an adapter I made up. The problem that I had after re-loading an operating system was the unit wouldn't recognise and mouse attached to it even though I was able to use the built in trackpad during the reload. Very...

I believe this is a radio made by Gould as a AN/ARC - 98(V21) for Iran back in the '70s. They were designed for a customer but never worked as promised and there were lawsuits over them for years. That's about all I was ever able to find on them other than a handful of components I bought from...

Bite the bullet and buy yourself a set of Centramatic or Balance Master wheel balancers and forget about weights forever. Dynamic balancers continuously rebalance the wheels as you drive so they continuously compensate for tire wear and any shift you might have with the runflat. I haven't...

I looked into having my doors restitched about 2 years ago here in the San Jose area and the 2 shops I found that were willing to do it each wanted $150 per door to do the job. With new soft doors selling for less than that I just bought some new doors. Now that the price and availability of...

This antenna is for the VSQ-1 sysrem and is tuned for the 400-470 Mhz range. As such it will not work with either the CB radios or any of the standard tactical radios. It will work with the Baofeng series radios the preppers like to use. Kurt KG6KMJ
