Cam, got a time and freq picked out? KG6KMJ

Standard Army HMMWVs had the duckbill on the bottom of the air filter housing to drain any water that got into the air intake from getting into the emgine, Marine vehicles with fording kits had the blank off plug because the fording intake was at the top of the windshield and the likelyhood of...

rickf, search for AMA5104 and you'll find a link back to Southern Automotive, the current manufacturer of both Prestolite and Leece-Neville alternators. Heres a link directly to that page...

Got to agree with Mogman about gummed up components being a function of JP fuels. When I originally got my truck 20 years ago the wreck had been sitting behind a Cal Fire station for over 5 years and who knows how long it sat at DRMO before that. After it arrived in San Jose it sat for another...

Also known as a Flare wrench made to remove tubing fittings without rounding them off.

6 sided "Flare Wrenches" are designed to prevent this from happening. Originally designed for use on tubing they work wonders on anything made from softer metals like brass. They're also available as crows foot wrenches.

I used 3/8" aircraft quick release pins on my radio shelf to do this and attached keepers to them so they wouldn't get lost. They can be expensive but they work really well.

Try finding a hex impact bit for one of these drivers! Good luck. PB Blaster is great stuff but I prefer Kroil. It's never let me down.

The fuel shutoff solenoid has a bad habit of sticking if the truck sat for a long time and the fuel in the bowl dried up. Before I jumped into a new IP I think I'd work to verify the solenoid isn't stuck closed.

After years of having Interstate 6Tls fail after a little over 2 years (their warranty period) I gave up and now run 24F batteries in mine. Same CCA, fit in the same battery tray and allow them to be end to end cleaning up the battery wiring nightmare AMG created.

Maddawg, Your "colorful knobs" receivers are GRR-8 receivers that are a part of the PRD-11 Direction Finder Set. There are 4 tuning heads that interchange to give it a .5 - 500 Mhz tuning range. The manuals are all online for the set. I have all 4 tuning heads and an extra .5-30 head. Do...

True, the stock horns suck! I originally thought about air horns but then where does the compressor go? I ended up with a 24v Federal Signal siren from a Navy police car that has an electronic air horn that will also rebroadcast the radio thru the speaker.

Take a look at the side of your steering column up under the dash. You'll see a connector on the side that's the ground return line from the horn. If you ground that connection and the horn blows your wiring is OK and the problem is in the colums or the horn button itself. There's a beryllium...

Search "HMMWV fuel return hose" on Ebay and you'll come up with return line from several places around the world. Most of the replacement hose doesn't need thos nasty little clips that kill your fingers!

This is a note to anyone that's experiencing problems with the SF-3512 antennas on what we've found. It's a great broadband antenna that's usable from 30 - 512 Mhz on newer military vehicles that bolts directly into most of the standard antenna brackets. We've been experiencing issues with...
