Nady makes a couple of inexpensive motorcycle intercoms that work pretty well. There are other MC intercom manufacturers aout there too. I installed a Softcomm aircraft intercom in the HMMWV for the same reasons. Picked it up on eBay for under $100. About the same size as 2 packs of...

Yes, the axle nut also gets replaced with pn 5310-01-382-5031. Same axle. This info is in TM 11-2320-280-24P-1 figure 142 Kurt

noise The military never invested in noise suppression equipment unless the trucks were used for commo applications so they aren't electrically "quiet". Go over the Rat Shack or your local CB shop and pick up a noise suppression filter and install it in the power line to the radio. If you...

The military has always used the geared hubs in their HMMWVs because of the significant torque multiplication and ground clearance it gives the vehicle. This holds true of the civy H1s but the H2 and H3s are just Chevy trucks. The early hubs had a problem with the axle nuts backing off and the...

I researched putting electric brakes on a 101 trailer a few years back and found that unless I had some custom made backing plates made up there wasn't any way to have both electric brakes and keep the trailers original emergency brakes. This may have been because the guy I was talking to just...

I have an '86 M996 and I've been told that installing the 4L80E in a HMMWV requires the newer A2 gas tank. Did you have any issues with everything fitting? I know the drive lines need to be changed but that's relatively easy to do.

When you say the units won't work together, exactly what's happening? Just no power to the 1780?

Using an AS-1729 with CB radios isn't a problem and unless you're running a big amp power. The AS-1729 will handle up to about 100 watts of RF power. What you will need to do is to get yourself an inline power meter that shows both forward and reflected power. With the CB keyed up and...

The countdowns on! Tower Park / Camp Delta for the Fall is only a month away! It'll be here before you know it. Make your plans now and we all hope to see you there. Kurt & JoAnn

military computer I believe this is a Miltope unit. They delivered a computer that looked very similar to this one to OMS shops to replace the PSM-80 and PSM-95 computers used for vehicle maintenance.

correct antenna If there were antennas on the truck originally post a picture of the holes where they were mounted and we can usually tell you what was on it. Kurt

bedliners I've used the Herculiner kits available at most auto parts stores to line the insides of a couple of trailers and the interior of my 151. The kits come with everything you need and make sure to wear the gloves as the stuff does not come off of your hands easily. The finish can be...

fuel gauge problem Masterchief, Military fuel gauges are pretty simple things. They're a series circuit which means that the current from the battery goes thru the gauge to the sending unit and back to the battery in a single loop. The gauge deflects depending on how much current is flowing...

mistaken1, The AT1729 antennas are notorious for doing this if they aren't taken care of. These pieces are copper plated steel and when left screwed together they do exactly what you see they've done. The same thing happens to the newer Singars version of this antenna. They really aren't...

Roger that! Whatever goes thru that hole will keep the actuator from moving and setting the brakes on the trailer. Any 3.8" rod will work, a bolt, ball detent pin, or an aircraft quick release pin. I'm surprised there's no mention of it in the manual. Any time you back the trailer the...

The Prestolite and Leece-Neville 60 amp alternators are serviced by Southern Automotive. They produce the alternators for the military and will sell directly to the public. Here's a link to their website: Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc. The Prestolite / Leece-Neville website has a...

The actuator locking pin is a 3/8" x 4.5" pin that goes thru the front actuator link arm and then thru the body of the coupler. It locks the actuator into a forward position and disables the brake system. It's important to have this pin in place when your backing the trailer up or the brakes...

Nick, At the lower end of the boarding ladder there should be two attaching points for the tensioners. They were just green rope running thru a clothesline tensioner to a clip that attached to the vehicle. This kept the ladders bottom from sliding away fron the vehicle. Here's a link to...
