California bureau of automotive repair directs service shops that if the tires are 10+ years old, the shop may only touch them to replace them.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You can relay with 12v, switching your 24v source on and off. As long as the 12v relay's switches are for enough amperage. I happened to have a 12v high amperage relay and ran 12v through my M929's reversing switch to the relay which switches 24v on and off to my reversing lights and backup horn.Bought a pair of 24 volt ir lights with both red and clear lenses. Thought about installing on fiberglass roof but would need reinforcing due to heaviness of them. Plus leary of snagging them upon tree limbs. Probably will mount them to brush guard with a home fabricated bracket to avoid drilling holes. Now...the search for a 24 volt relay and 4 male end packard connectors!
That's funny, as I had to do the same thing and had the same low amp fuse in it. No problems since.I was driving home last night and my headlights started flashing on and off. Today I found the headlight fuse half melted. I cleaned the fuse block contacts with crocus cloth and contact cleaner and replaced the damaged 25 amp fuse with the correct 30 amp. Works like a champ now!
This is a design flaw in the CUCV. Too many amps pass through that fuse. You need the LMC headlight relay mod. See the "Headlight" section in http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123199-CUCV-Helpful-Threads. Don't put it off and melt your fuse block like I did.I was driving home last night and my headlights started flashing on and off. Today I found the headlight fuse half melted. I cleaned the fuse block contacts with crocus cloth and contact cleaner and replaced the damaged 25 amp fuse with the correct 30 amp. Works like a champ now!
Did you really start a Cucv at -20F? What mods have been done to help it start?The truck starts much quicker today, at 50 degrees, than it did day before yesterday, at -20 degrees.
This winter, I drive the CUCV every day, whatever the temperature.Did you really start a Cucv at -20F? What mods have been done to help it start?
