At around 85 pounds they certainly aren't portable even if they do have handles! Don't buy an unlettered model, stay with a C model if you can, they have dot matrix heads in them instead of character drums. Lots of nice options for them, even a memory pack. Fairly straight forward to...

You might want to pull the injectors and have them cleaned and pop tested. If your running originals they need it by now. Kurt

Remember that inverters are power suckers and can kill your batteries pretty quickly if left on with the engine off. Depending on the inverter you buy, make sure that you input feed wires match the manufacturers recommendations for current capacity. The last thing you want is an electrical...

A handy hint is to add a section of hose to the bleed petcock and run it down the fenderwell with some electronic "P" clamps. That way your bleeding fuel down low and not all over the footwell itself. Kurt

I just replaced the pump in my '96 and for the price there isn't an electric pump out there even close. It is a bit of an SOB to change though. I pulled the right splash panel to get better access to it but it can be done from beneath the truck. The only tricky part is getting the pump...

The ambulances all had back up lights. Just look in the TM for their part numbers. Either that or just go to your local truck supply house and buy a pair, that's all the military did. They'll have the brackets for them too. Kurt

There's a rather large resusitation pack that's part of the ambulance equipment compliment along with the AC and NBC equipments mentioned above. Very rarely were ambulances fitted with winches but the 6K and 9K winches draw lots of power and the MileMarker 12K is hydraulic and needs the...

The TMs for the HMMWV have a very complete and comprehensive troubleshooting flow chart for almost any electrical problem. My suggestion would be to get into it and let their experience help you troubleshoot your problem. It'll also give you a great education as to the extent of the...

Once to make sure the newer style locking tabs are installed.

When I bought mine there were 41 of them for sale at NAS Brunswick. About a year later there were 2 lots at Loring AFB that totaled around 150 so there are still plenty of them around. I believe there were a couple other sales of them as the military converted them back to M998's as they chose...

Steve, I think the problem is with the solar panels not having a charge regulator attached to them could cause a battery to overcharge and explode. Charge regulators are available online for $10 or less. The basic PulseTech distribution box by itself is a handy unit for sourcing 12 and 24 volt...

Couldn't you have just said Air Conditioners?

The answer to your question is another question. What do you want out of your trucks? Some guys want a "just rolled off the line" look. Others want a truck they're not afraid to take out in the woods and drive. If you want to make them a memorial to someone or something then leave the holes...

Dock Rocker, links are really nice: http://www.msextra.com/product-range/expansion/microsquirt-transmission-control/ Kurt

Relays can come in hundreds of different configurations as far as the numbers of contacts and the number pins but basically they are all similar. NO stands for a set of contacts that are Normally Open and NC means contacts that are Normally Closed with the relay in a de-energized situation (no...

400 hz was used in aircraft because transformers took less steel in their cores and therefore were lighter. The same held true of synchros, servos, and motors in general. The flyboys didn't care about how much power things drew since they had all then needed as opposed to the sailors who...

Good points Steve, and there's also the issue of snapping the steering pump shaft when hard stopping in a tight turn. This issue sounds like the temp switch in the crossover pipe. Kurt

The 11A lead is power to the start-run switch, the 29A lead feeds power back to the PCB in the run position and the 14A switch sends power down through the neutral safety switch to the starter. With a voltmeter you should be able to see if you get +24v on the 14A lead when you turn the switch to...

A little research would have answered this question. The numbers are viscosity ratings indication the equivalent oil thickness hot and cold. The lower number is the thickness cold and the higher number is it's hot rating. A thinner oil allows the engine to start more easily when cold and then...
