If the gen light does not come on when the ignition switch is on before you start the engine, that alternator will not work. The gen light is what turns on the regulator once the engine is running. I drove my M1028A2 halfway to and all the way back from the GA Rally with the number 1...

The WAI alternator is made in China (I used to work for WAI). If there's a warranty and the pulley is correct, go for it. It will smoke in less than the warranty period if it's bad. BTW, that's whats going on my M929 if the alternator grenades.

Mike, I think I saw your tote (was it black?) on a table near where the MKT was. Since there was a M105 trailer sitting near by I though it belonged to that person. Maybe someone turned it in to Durhamtown.

I think we are going to be eating them in the morning!

Make sure the Blackout toggle switch is in the normal position. The trouble shooting for the turn signals and stop lights are in TM 9-2320-283-20-1 and start at page 2-164.

The problem is there's only 24 hours in a day. In a perfect world you can do maybe 500 miles in 10 hours. In the real world, you get slowed by traffic, hills, have to get fuel, eat. etc. So now maybe 400 miles in 12 hours if you are lucky. If everything hangs together, you can do 800...

I received the Florida title from Gov Planet for a trailer I bought, the title was in GP's name and signed over to me as the buyer. I paid Gov Planet $150 to get the title in their name, so they could sign it over to me. What a crock. It irritates me that I have to go and pay another $100 at the...

I'm less than that! But I'm heading to Fl tomorrow.

I wouldn't install the front driveshaft because you don't know if the sprag does have a problem. I don't see a minimal wear condition as long as the wheels are turning. All of the components in the front drive are spinning under normal circumstances and the sprag only locks to drive the front...

If the front drive shaft on the M818 is not installed, how can there be any excess wear on the sprag? If it stays engaged the whole time it doesn't matter since there is no load other than spinning the flange. BTW, oddball007 has been driving his M818 without the front drive shaft for years. It...

Once you have the new cage bolts, keep them in the truck or tool box so if you ever need them they won't be rusted up or covered with mud, dirt, paint, etc.

You should also check the brake pedal pushrod to master cylinder piston clearance. The pedal should move 3/4" or so (look it up to be sure, I don't remember) measured at the pedal before contacting the piston. If there is not enough clearance, the brakes will not fully release and will...

I ran 50 psi in the front and 30 psi on the rear. If you need to carry a big load, air the back up to 50.

Change to DOT3 brake fluid if you are using DOT5. DOT5 is more compressible and will lead to a spongy and/or low brake peddle. http://www.advancepetro.com/differentbrakefluid.htm

Probably after wrecking the sleigh!

Check each electrical connection after cranking the engine for about 5 seconds. Start at the batteries and then starter solenoid, solenoid to starter motor, and all grounds. If a connection is very hot (much more than the others), that is the one to investigate first. There may be more than one...

Since we don't know what the work the mechanic is quoting, we can't tell you if that's a good price. Sounds like a lot for fixing one wheel. If he's doing all six, its not so bad. It would be a good idea for you to educate yourself by reading the TMs. Unless you find a mechanic that knows...

the vendor i talked with wants to show them there is a strong interest because they told me we would need to commit to buying a 100 for them to even consider it and they would cost around 1400.00 each so we are trying to get around that 140,000 is a lot of money out of pocket for something we...

What 74M35A2 said. The market research responsibility is on the company that wants to bring the product to market. It sounds like the intermediate here does not want to commit to buying x number of units from the fabricator/manufacturer because they don't know the demand. If you can get the...

I should be able to make it. I'm not sure which MV though.
