    Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

    Rhino is the way to go. They have the strongest turnbuckle / ratchet mechanism to raise and lower your tire. Bolted directly to the airlift bumper using the supplied bolts and existing holes. They do sell a kit to mount one if you don't have the bumper.

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    I ordered some brake calipers back in April, and they still don't have them. Their parts manager sent me updates, saying that they might ship them in October. Their supplier is having issues getting the parts for them.

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    I used to use commercial silicone fluid, until it became difficult to find at the local stores (Harley-Davidson is one of the few users of silicone fluid). The small bottles were also getting too expensive. I recently bought a 1 gallon jug from one of the mil parts dealers on epay, and that is...

    Root cause of engine swap?!

    They not only make Chinese HMMWV parts, the make the whole vehicle ( Dongfeng Mengshi ), since they bought the rights to it. Amazing, we develop a military vehicle, then sell it to them.

    Humvee military antenna for Ham Radio use

    For VHF/UHF you could use the broadband SF-3512 , if you can find a good used one. (A new one costs more than a ham rig). For HF I use the AT-1011, with a NVIS attachment on the spring mount. The four pieces I use makes a 16 foot antenna, which is pulled over the truck from the rear mount to...

    Zero Energy Trailer - Solar/Diesel hybrid - Know anything?

    Just a thought, If you can't get the manuals, mentally break the unit down into smaller troubleshooting units. Get a voltmeter, and work your way from the batteries to the inverter, and see where the power stops, then work on that part. Same with the generator. See what is keeping it from...

    MEP 531a fuel pump issues

    Some thoughts, Where are you not getting fuel? Have you disconnected the high pressure tubing at the pump outlet to see if you are getting fuel there? If not, are you getting fuel into the pump? Is the pump adjusted correctly so that it allows fuel into the pump when the lever is in the correct...

    Ameritech Helmet Hardtop almost ready to mount.

    Mine came with an instruction CD, but all the disk has is the manual that is on the web, and sales brochures for all the tops they make. I attached a picture of where the rubber strip was mounted on my top. It did not come separately.

    Ameritech Helmet Hardtop almost ready to mount.

    I just purchased a brand new Helmet Top off Iron Planet, which I intend to use to replace my rusted out steel roof, and upgrade to a helmet top. This top looks like it has all the hardware and gaskets shown in the installation manual from Amtech. Any advice or any issues I need to look out for...

    MEp-803A 3-wire connection to house not working and need power asap!

    Your drier needs 120 and 240 if it is an electric drier (gas only needs 120 volts). You should have four wires on your electric drier. 2 hot wires, 1 neutral wire, and one ground wire (on some driers, they run the ground externally, with a separate wire). The 2 hot wires are 240, for the heater...

    Question about picking up mep802a with trailer from GP.

    Here is a wiring diagram from my 1102 trailer, when you are ready to put on a civi plug. Sometimes they actually wire the trailers correctly.

    Need some help 803a

    A few troubleshooting points in addition to my previous post, and a simplified operating description. The gage operates by applying 24 volt power to one side of the gage, then taking this power from the other gage terminal (S) to the sender. The sender is a variable resistor that then sends the...

    Need some help 803a

    What was wrong with the original fuel gage when you purchased the unit? You replaced the gage, the new gage worked, and now you are having problems with the new gage. My concern is that you might have a problem somewhere else in the wiring that is causing this, and not the sender or gage.

    803a fuel level sender

    Hook an ohm meter to your new sender, and verify what you really have, 240-33 or 0-33. If you have access to resistors, hook a resistor with the approximate value across the wires, and see what the gage shows. Any chance you have a short/ground somewhere in the wiring?

    MEP016D Starting Issues - Grrrrrrrr...

    How did the top end and the valves look? Some ideas for what to do next - (possibly not the best, but easy to do without any special tools): Set the piston at midpoint, and pour in 1/2 inch of diesel fuel. Then move the piston up and down by turning the flywheel to see if the diesel leaks past...

    MEP-803A, AUX fuel pump won't work

    The pump should start at 23.6 volts. Do you have variable power supply you can use to test the pump. To me it sound like the pump may be the problem. Do you have another pump to compare it with, and compare the starting voltage, and current?
