Radios "Could be Us" TRC-77 might not be the one you want? Here's some info >
https://www.n6cc.com/trc-77-hf-cw-transceiver/
More or LESS usable would be the PRC-77 a combat net voice radio. A bit more readily available / usable for mobile operation with accessories.
What's your call sign...
Quickie lookie cutaway of the goings on with glow plug, injector, pre-chamber, valves, springs, piston and other doo hickies and a space man.
Sooo that's how it works :unsure: 💡(y):oops: Brought to you by, CAMO
Which pump are we working with ? I am old school to keep the HumV pump part factory Chevy / Delco / Carter . They work well and understood.
Haven't had priming problems with a quality lift pumps. (no leaky lines) Now the internal pump/checking valves could get gummed up gunk without...
Another CAMO tip of the day. This might not go over well with the OEM crowd. But :unsure: about it.
Here's what I do do. One time and last! Drop the tank. Clean and ready as needed. DITCH the SOCK. I can hear it now 🙉.
Where the check valve is (3/8 line) Yeah... the one causing problems...
I can bet more rods have been snapped off / busted... if the story was told. Hacksaw blade sounds like it would be in the way. LOL
Always grease your rod first, CAMO
I am going to ask this question... Cuz I want to understand the need for converting down to 12 Volts when dual voltage alternator rigs can handle an extra couple of amps say 5-6 and a peak current of 25 amps for the back and forth time one would only be transmitting.
It's a two-way thing...
I am re-posting my PM to help add to the confusion or help others understand. (y) Many way to go about it :unsure: 💡
Your M1123 with a dual output alternator with the 14 volt balancing tap connected correctly and quality batteries is the easiest, most reliable, cost effective. IMO
That...
The mist / sprayers do work... But with the HARD water here if it get on the glass one is going to need a needle scalier to get it off.
Cool beers work better, CAMO
Click is solenoid pulling in. Doesn't mean metering valve is free.
Study the DB2 pump operation > https://media.defense.gov/2014/Jun/20/2002655917/-1/-1/1/140620-N-ZZ182-6558.pdf
There could be one or a chain of little issues to resolve any problem. Poking around for a quick fix might not...

Peeking over your shoulder... :unsure:
Parked for a couple of month ?
Older fuel ?
Will not start now. IMO :unsure: this can be something to consider. The bio-mixed diesel with 5-25% crap, low sulfur, lubricants and any water (there is some water ) to...
Good luck on your fuel problem. Working one here too. On a slightly different note, another GOOD LUCK finding a quality USA pump. Even AC Delco made in Korea. One had a cheap ass crimp ring that came off the lever arm end... and that ruined the day. Lasted about 3 month. Good on the...
HumV not the easiest to get at the engine. parts... top side working an IP swap today. So old tired bones 👴here... twisted up in a ball, hanging off of 37 inch tires, is not the least bit fun. I know there are special supports ladder systems... BUT But but the few times I need to do the heavy...
They can shift smooth as silk. No clunk or whip lash between gears. If everything working nice a strong . Down shift (passing WOT) can be noticed and then a hard shift lock-up is noticed. You'll be rocking and moving out at 42.36 MPH on to sub sonic 57.2 MPH maybe more down hill. 🏎 🚀
Bet YA...
Hi everyone, CAMO here -
Winter is just around the corner, and if you're experiencing hard starts with you HumV now, the OEM computer box may be on the way out.
We developed our own version of the PCB / EESS called the "Glow & GO" which replaces the start system. Our product is a direct...
