Looks like your good to go then. I just hate to see electrical problems/fires because they're PITA to clean up after and there are so many people who just don't understand electrical issues. Merry Christmas, Kurt

Are you sure you got the correct water pump? Remember the 6.2 and 6.5 don't rotate the same way.

Bruce, The only problem with Solargizers is that they're not battery chargers. There's a difference between chargers and maintainers. PulseTech makes some fine products, among them are their solargizers. A nice find on eBay was a PulseTech combination maintainer and 12 volt source. I...

That switch looks awfully light duty for a large truck. Are you only switching the power to the ignition and accessories? That switch would be OK for radios or accessories but not much more. Starters pull massive currents and need switches with substantial current capabilities. If you want to be...

There aren't any reasons for you not to use solar panel(s) on your vehicles to keep the batteries charged but one thing you need to be aware of that most people forget is that the panels sold cheaply at auto parts stores and online don't come with charge regulators. They're often more expensive...

GRA-39 TM s sent today. Kurt

Your rig looks great! I was surprised when you mentioned the 7777. Both the 7777s and the 7778s were typically only used in armor or vehicles that experienced large voltage transients caused by pumps and solenoids kicking in and out. Even though a lot of the 151s got the 7778 suppressors they...

Going all the way to the battery isn't necessary. Just use a clip lead and connect to the ground stud. That stud is known to give problems because of where it's located. Heating and cooling can cause it to loosen up over time and the result is gauge problems. You have to remove the panel to...

You can hook that lead to any wire that switches on and off with the run switch. The gauge spider may have an unused leg on it that would work well. kurt

The HMMWV has a plastic dash panel and needs a good solid ground to work properly. Check to see that you have good continuity to the ground stud just in front of the heater controls on the firewall. Kurt

The AB-558 is a fiberglass bodied base so adding a ground strap won't make a big difference. The AB-15 on the other hand needs a physical ground on it. There are a couple different types of connectors found on these bases you need to be aware of. Some of them have an adapter that has a...

That's as good a reason as any when it comes to MVs!!

If you look around online you can find the transparent paint like they use on Christmas lights. Just paint that onto a pair of standard headlamps and be done with it. Unless you're replicating vehicles used in France, why would you want yellow headlights to begin with?

My suggestion would be to run your 524 off of one antenna and the stereo on another. Since your truck was configured for 2 antennas anyway that's the way to go. The AB-15/AB-558s will work fine for your stereo for several reasons. As stated above, AM/FM receivers don't care about matching...

Vincent, Got a NAPA # for us to ref? Kurt

Well I tell you F18hornet, they aren't getting any lighter! I have a couple Sincgars sets and a PRC-117 and they weight in about the same. Lucky there's a seemingly unending supply of Grunts willing to hump these things around! Now they real new stuff like the PRC-148 MBITR and the PRC-152s are...

A better option might be to use an AB-558/GR base. It mounts the same mast sections as the AB-15 but mounts directly into the 4" hole in the CUCV mounting bracket without having to find an adapter for the 2" hole required by the AB-15. The 3 mast sections are each 1 meter long so you'll end up...

module swapping Going back over your post you may have an issue in the antenna match unit located just inside the front panel. This is the aqua blue thingy behind where the antenna mounts. Look for a thin coax cable and see if it hasn't broken off the terminal it attaches to. It might be...

Dave Pizzaferrato at WeeBee Webbing makes cordura nylon seat covers that are the best! Kurt

PRM-34s Mike, About 20 years ago Cincinatti Electronics shut down the production line they had building PRM-34s in Mexico. I bought 8 palletts of PRM-34 stuff from them including about 50 finished units in their field cases. I still have my original 34 and 2 others in their field cases ready...
