    Interesting. I've always avoided spinning and digging.

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    Low range in the Tcase. 1 on the transmission. BTM as described. Don't spin. Don't apply more power than you have traction to support, unless you're making progress. If you're making progress, all bets are off. A little left to right can allow side lugs on aggressive tires to get a bite and...

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    What's your tow vehicle and hitch? What do you have for lights?

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    I've never had an issue with the tires on them. Even the genset carriers loaded to 4200lbs. I've dragged a couple of them from Yermo to KS on tires dated 2003 without issue. Here's what I do when grabbing one - air up immediately with portable air or within the first 10 miles or so. I...

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    I've had dozens of them. I've had an issue exactly once with brakes dragging. Opening the bleeders resolved it. I've got one for sale in the classifieds currently.

    M129a2c trailer brake operation single circuit, towing question, any help please.

    Why would you not connect both lines? Am I misunderstanding something?

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    Dual voltage alternators. And as you said, it was specifically designed to prevent an imbalance. Without a dual voltage alternator specifically designed to avoid it, it's an "evil tap." As I understood it, the original reference was without a dual voltage alternator and the protection provided.

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    That's called an "evil tap" and it destroys batteries for the reasons Mogman explained.

    HMMWV Replacement Batteries

    I did mine like this - the white cable is hardwired into the back of the slave port, and then terminates on a 30amp Anderson Powerpole. The battery charger terminates on a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole. The solargizer terminates on a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole. In normal use, the solagizer...

    HANCO / SWP 20RFH33DWLP

    Please do. Here's what i did with one of my PD boxes - i removed one of the pass throughs for the 208v 3 phase and wired in some high amperage 120v single phase and 208v single phase female plugs.

    HANCO / SWP 20RFH33DWLP

    Looks like what I have. They're continous run. 208v 3phase. Here's what you should expect to have for power output- 4 20amp 120v GFI single phase convenience outlets. These will take a normal plug. 1 60amp 208v 3phase J1 5pin port controlled by the contactor. This takes a special plug and...

    M929A2 Different Rim Identification and usage.

    14.00's are somewhat scarce. If you're sticking with 14.00's on your truck, you probably want to keep them and mount them on your wheels. Upon closer inspection those may be off a crane. Ballpark is $500ish. @Jbulach may have some useful information to add. The MRAP is a GWOT thing. They...

    Loss of power. White smoke.

    Whatever it was, it is no longer an issue. (And that fact alone rules out a bunch of stuff.) I drove the M998 today. Started on the first revolution. Ran fine. No white smoke. The usual amount of power I expect from the gutless turd of a 6.2. I drove it far enough that the cooling fan was...

    M929A2 Different Rim Identification and usage.

    The MRAP rim goes on an MRAP of course :) They can be used on M35A2s as well (with the appropriate adapter plate), and that's who you're going to find who may want it. The combat rim is either leaking at the valve stem or O-ring most likely.
