I had a similar problem with a very small draw in my M1028A2, it took about two weeks, but it would kill my rear battery. A friend, who is a professional and a whiz at CUCV electrics, spent a long time trying to track it down, checked everything we could think of and all tested good. I...

Very impressive work! I did something similar with the front blackout marker lights on my Mighty Mite, since they didn't come from the factory with turn signals. I cut amber reflector lenses with the focus circle in the middle to fit the holes, using that type because the light holes were...

No worries, I didn't take it personally. Actually, I probably worded my original poorly, I should have said "charger/maintainer", as it has settings for several functions, from 6v to 24v. ;) Cheers

Sorry, neglected to get back on this. Here are some pictures from the original auction. I had saved screen shots of the actual auction, but they are not in my file here, I think they are stuck in the depths of my old computer that slammed shut one day. :cautious: Cheers

To each his own, but mine has lit up lights successfully for about 18 years, so I'm going to call it reliable test method. Cheers

That would be a normal leakage of air for these trucks. And it's a good idea to drain the air tanks when you are done for the day anyway, to blow out any moisture that may accumulate in the system. ;) Cheers

In use by the military, LED lights have proven not to be nearly as reliable as they had been claimed to be. It is not uncommon to have a partial (as in some of the LEDs work, some don't in one light) to total failure of entire sections of the light. I see a lot of these where one or more parts...

I'll look at my files when I get home this evening. If I remember correctly, it was sold by the Charleston County SC sheriff's office around 2008. Final bid was something like $18k, not including fees etc. I would have tried harder to get it, but I was working on my V100 at that time. When...

Well, that explains why George stopped responding to my emails, I didn't realize he had passed. Never met him personally, but he seemed a nice fellow. I didn't know him at the time, but when the vehicle was auctioned off by the agency that had it, it became obvious he wanted it a lot more than...

That is cool! Cheers

I neglected to mention this - the top hatches are spring loaded to assist in opening/closing them, mostly closing. In the open position, the hatches are held in place by a heavy clip that keeps them from moving/bouncing. Each of these has a mechanism for releasing the catch from inside the...

Most of the intercom cables run along under the roof line and are rather loosely draped. They are held up by loops that bolt to threaded posts welded to the hull. The single cable going forward runs along the right side, from the main intercom control box (AM-1780) above the radios to the...

Low headlight trucks can have them flipped to high headlight position. The crossbars get swapped one side to the other and turned over (because of the way they are bent). Some factory high headlight trucks can be flipped to low, but most can't. If you pause between flippings, the truck looks...

I love that suspended chair!! :LOL: Cheers

Here is the NOS red bottle I had. It also occurs to me that I didn't show the back of the actuators to you, figuring that detail would be hidden, but have included them here anyway. Cheers

I thought you probably were going to add it, seeing all the other intricate detail you have put in. As regards the pull handle, it might be visible looking in the top hatch, or through a side door. And you'll know it is in there. ;) My bottle is actually OD green. It was NOS in a box (new...

Looks like an M52, perhaps. Almost certainly M39-series based. Pretty cool, never seen one of those before. [thumbzup] Cheers

Here is what the fire suppression bottle looks like out of it's bracket. And two actuators. The actuator back screws onto the larger fitting on the bottle, the metal hose into the engine bay screws onto the smaller fitting. The cable from the drivers seat connects to that lever on the...

That is absolutely wonderful! I don't know if you already planned to add it, but here are some details on where the engine fire suppression bottle fits in that cubby I have outlined in red on your model. The bottle is activated by a cable that runs along the inside corner of the roof to a...

With only three vehicles this month it still won't be easy to make a decision!! :unsure: Cheers
