    Are you planning on coming up to the Tower Park meet next week? If you are, can you bring some of the sideboards along? Thanks

    HMMWV Battery Drain Overnight

    The battery leads connect to a couple of large copper buttons inside the starter and as the starter actuates they tend to sputter copper inside the solenoid housing. If bit of that got into the wrong place they'll cause the starter to draw current. You can also get carbon from the arcing that...

    HMMWV Battery Drain Overnight

    Ralph, your post says you disconnected the starter and it's still drawing power. This test eliminates the starter as the source of the power load. Now disconnect the large 8 gauge wire to the alternator stud (under the cover). This applies to the 60 amp alternator. This test will determine...

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    Yes, that is the part I'm referring to. Part #24 is the segment that wears out. Kurt

    Assistance Needed! electronic gurus...Prm -34 test se

    When Cincinnati Electronics shut down their production line in Mexico I bought everything they had left in process, including all of the ICs for the '34. The Harris chips are a common failure and as far as I know aren't available anywhere else. I also have full schematics for the boards. The...

    Electrical issues give me a headache....

    Just a thought but have you checked the connections on the starter switch? There's a heavy lead from the batteries to that switch and then it gets distributed from there. Maybe corrosion or a loose connection? Kurt KG6KMJ

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    This is actually a fairly common problem. There is a small right angle adapter on the transfer case that's part of the speedo drive system that sometimes loosens up during use and there's a short (~2") piece of speedometer cable that connects it to the trans. When this happens that cable...

    Push Button light Switch, fire hazard??

    light switch The extra ground wire on the push button switch was for the HMMWV who's body is such a piss poor return path to ground. It needed to have the switch electrically bonded to the ground system so that added a wire that physically attached it directly to that system..I have a push...

    M101 side boards in fiberglass/plastic?

    There should also be quite a few HMMWV troop seat sets out there that people have removed to build 4 man trucks that could be available pretty cheap. Kurt KG6KMJ

    Looking for a MX-10862 single SINCGARS tray, possibly AM-7239 dual tray

    The mounts and adapters are around but most of the adapters that the radio sits in are missing the baseplate and the 200 volt power supply for the RF amp. Just a heads up. Here's what the setup looks like complete: Kurt KG6KMJ

    Can anyone tell me anything about this stuff?

    That rack will support either a single or double stack Sincgars radio with the vehicular adapter. It looks like it had a double stack in it's prior life because of the 2 LS-671 speakers beneath it. Kurt KG6KMJ

    Push Button light Switch, fire hazard??

    The push button light switch looks pretty cool but after having one in the HMMWV for the last 4 years I can tell you I'd never install another one. I've had no electrical problems of fires but to operate the d**n thing you have to look at it to make sure your hitting the right switch so if your...

    wheel question

    O rings cost about $4 or less, are you willing to risk your vehicle for $4? I've reused O rings in the past when I had to but for cost it doesn't make sense not to install new ones when doing wheel work. Kurt

    SB-3614 Phone switchboard

    I think the "dinosaur" your thinking of was the SB-86. A pretty large shipping case that the switchboard used to sit on during use. I checked my ETMs and the telephone equipment CD is too new and doesn't have anything for the 3614 but I do have some hardcopy manuals in the garage that I can...
