I don't know if its the warm weather or what, but I've noticed the engine in my 09 is running smoother and quieter, and seems to have a bit more power lately.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Does the gen2 light come on at all? If not swap out the gen1 and gen2 bulbs to check the bulb. Also the contacts get dirty and or corroded on the bulb socket at the printed curcit board clean the board and socket then turn the socket several time to get a good contact. Hope this helps!A little lost on the multimeter thing, butI think I did it right... Anyways I'm going to the manufacturer's site to hopefully figure out how to use it properly. I should probably learn how to speed things up in the future and to know what I am doing.
I looked again and on the positive stud I had turned the nut a little too far and it had moved the red wire so that the metal it was crimped to was touching the alternator case. I just went back and adjusted the wire positions and triple checked that no metal was touching the case from any of the wires on the insulated studs.
Hooked up the batteries again, no sparks this time. Gen 2 still doesnt light up on pre-start. I'm thinking alternator plug... mine seems pretty toasty/nasty to say the least. Thanks for the help so far guys.
What size tires? You definitely need cutting and or a lift!Got some tires mounted up and ready ! ! !
Probably going to need a lift or some cutting......

They Goodyear Wrangler RT2 are 36x12.5R16.5 They are the older bias ply tires used on the Humvee (replaced by 37x12.5R16.5 Goodyear MT radials). They measure on the smaller side (the ones I had were about 34.5")What size tires? You definitely need cutting and or a lift!
The guy who sold me my truck told me they were on the short side of 36 as well. He has them on his truck with no lift but said he had to do a lot of cutting.They Goodyear Wrangler RT2 are 36x12.5R16.5 They are the older bias ply tires used on the Humvee (replaced by 37x12.5R16.5 Goodyear MT radials).
