Sure, why not?

I have an FFCS/T, ITS and RAFT. There were several on eBay recently. They were made in Germany, I presume for NATO countries. I don't believe the US ever fielded them as they aren't in the TMs I've seen. The TUSK upgrade kit for the Abrams added an external telephone to the tank but they...

I've run the radio with my prototype and not had any problems. I don't have a spectrum analyzer to check it for real, but what I see on my scope is clean. Augi

Hi All, I've designed and prototyped a PCB that will allow safe use of BB-2590 Lion batteries in my PRC-104 radio. It is a drop-in replacement for the mystery charging circuit board in the base of the BB-x90 battery box and regulates any input voltage above 28.5v down to 28.5v. If the battery...

I had a lot of bad alternator whine in my VIC-1 also. However I didn't have a radio in the system when I was using it. I still get noticeable whine in my VIC-3 but it's less severe. It whined when I had the 60a alternator installed and still now with the 200a. There must be some good filtering...

Those are for tracked vehicles that have heavy loads switching on and off that inject noise into the system. They never put them in HMMWV's because you don't need them. Augi

HMMWV glow plugs are 24v and have a round electrical connector. They are NOT the same as CUCV glow plugs (which are 12v and have a spade connector). The engine is the same in both trucks, but all of the accessories are different. So is the electrical system. The HMMWV control box does not step...

Flashoffroad is ancient and hasnt been updated in a long time. I'd take anything on there with a grain of salt. There is useful information for sure, but a lot of it reads like it was written by the doctors and lawyers who were able to afford a $100k plus Hummer new. Smart people but not always...

There is a heavy drag link with thicker bosses.

When I go to the mountains above about 6k or 7k ft of elevation I notice that my truck starts to blow dark smoke when I put my foot into the throttle (ie ascending a steep mountain road) where at lower elevations it wouldn't. The higher I go, the less throttle I can give it before it starts...

I know I replaced the bearing. I think I bought one in case the old one was damaged because I didn't have time to wait around for parts to arrive if I needed them. At that point I just put it in anyway. I think the old one was fine though. The races definitely didn't separate or anything. The...

Yikes! You should uncross those antennas asap.

The stub shafts just pull out of the diff. I think I used a slide hammer. IIRC the bearing comes out with it. I replaced one about 5 years ago and I don't remember the details, but I do remember it being pretty easy. Augi

Nothing is wrong with plumbing the winches in series. The forward and reverse solenoids already have the bypass ports in series. Adding the second pair won't change anything. The solenoid either directs the flow into the winch or bypasses back to the power steering tank. When no winch is active...

You don't need to install a third battery. The 14v tap will maintain the lower battery for you and you can draw 12v from there. Augi

My truck is a 1986. The fuel tank does not hit. The late models do have a slightly different tank but for the reason I mentioned above. I bought a shifter from Greg. I think it may have cost me $250. It was a long time ago. Augi

Just a few points having installed a 4L80: The gas tank does not need to be changed to install the 4L80. The new style tank hits the driveshaft parking brake rotor so requires the new style parking brake installed if you punch a hole in your old tank and can only find a new one to replace it...

Check the ball joints and radius rod ends. I know I have to replace mine when I start blowing thru tread. I replace the offending joint and the tires stop wearing. Simply out of alignment will have similar symptoms because when the joints get loose the alignment wanders all over the place. I've...

Any HF set that goes to 10m will do it. Legally is another question. You're supposed to be limited to 4 watts AM or something. Augi

I'll mark you down as not interested.
