Ebay vendor Austin Aviation ('beltfed34') frequently has huge numbers of cables listed, so it's just a matter of going through his listings and running the NSN or 'A' number listed in the ad text or visible in the pics to determine whether they're for the AN/VAS-5. I've gone through lots of his...

I also imagine a bunch of the more modern stuff lost/stolen/scrapped in Afghanistan and Iraq will make its way onto Ebay etc. from vendors based in nearby countries. It's inevitable. That's why you kind of take your chances on the origin of things on Ebay which isn't the case with Mike as all...

If anyone will have either, it'll be the previously mentioned Mike Murphy at www.murphyjunk.net, though sometimes American Milspec has modern stuff too (www.american-milspec.com) , and Ebay as well. Mike's not had any flavour of SINCGARS since...January, I think...and I haven't seen any on Ebay...

Yeah. It's a Transpak with a Trimpack manual, I believe.

Yeah they're all installation instructions for various helicopters, but no user info at all. If you have a Blackhawk or a Kiowa in desperate need of a vintage GPS...there's your kitlist and installation procedures. Some cool line diagrams of helicopters in those things though. Nothing else...

Lol...wrote a response and the system deleted it when I tried to edit. Weird. Anyway, the LOGSA site has those manuals for free. It's not going to let me put up the link, but when you get to the LOGSA main page, select 'Publications' and then 'ETMs Online", and in the 'Title' search box put...

That's a TB which could be anything - and seems to apply solely to the UH-60 Blackhawk. But if you have a Kindle, .89 doesn't seem like a bad investment. I tried just now to find a copy for free somewhere but...no dice.

Ah...so someone tried the "with front driveshaft removed" experiment! I wondered what would happen. You probably have to select Off-Road Mode to be able to drive it with the front driveshaft removed, as the same problem happens when you have to drive an NP218 equipped HMMWV with the front...

I've never seen a military TM for the Trimpack, as they seem to have been issued with Trimble-produced commercial manuals in a couple of different formats with 1990 rev. dates. I have two of them. The most common one is the same one shown here on Mike Murphy's website, which is all user-manual...

Antenna used is a special, square, hard-to-find one - and yes, one of those plugs on the side is for the antenna cable. The other two plugs are for Power and Data. Brooke has the pinout for the power connector if you want to make your own power cord using a connector from any surplus military...

I'd also be interested to hear what caused this, though I'm guessing as well that there was no lube in that diff. I've picked up all sorts of trucks from GL and so far have only had one empty transfer case and one empty diff, and that was on trucks that looked as though they were in service...

And they *are* a cool looking truck. I was going to pick one up for work, but apparently they won't haul anything like a civvy-side commercial trailer, so you're stuck looking for a surplus M1000 trailer (which you won't find, as I believe they're all currently underneath Abrams :) See...

There was probably no way to cost-effectively do a Recap/ Re-buy program on the existing M1070s because, as others have noted, everything on the early model trucks was designed around the DD powerplant and transmission etc. and the newer transmissions and Clatterpillar engines just wouldn't fit...

No problem. Sometimes those mounts need a little MIG welding or brazing as the weight of the SLGR in the bracket bumping and banging around on a dashboard etc. tends to cause cracks in the metalwork. I've seen two (including my own) cracked in exactly the same place.

For which model? If for Trimpack/ Transpak/ SLGR - it's worth your while to search 'Military GPS' on Ebay right now. Right now-right now. Not mine.

DAGR's menu navigation system etc. is horrible, but you get used to it. It has a built in compass that you have to calibrate like the one on some of the Garmins, but it's only broadly useful, IMO. If you've never used one before you'll probably get a bit frustrated with it losing position and...

Actually none of that family does P code - AN/PSN-10 SLGR included - except for the Trimble Centurion aka AN/ASN-169 SAGR range. There's no interface in the non-Centurion models for the input of cryptovariables at all, which is why they had to turn off Selective Availability for Desert Storm...

Wonder why the flywheel housing was included in the upgrade? Weird. I guess the fact that there's always at least 30% transfer case output to the front axle set up more high-speed operation driveline 'fight' than they anticipated - also probably because from a design standpoint they likely...

Years ago we bought an M923 from an Ebay vendor, which was an ex-GSA USFS disposal. The spring brakes never worked, but it seemed to stop fine. I finally got around to it and...yeah. Just...yeah. The spring brakes didn't work because, as per usual, they'd jammed on and someone at some...

Hmm. I wondered why GL seems to always focus on that on the dataplate pics. Good info. Thanks. I also didn't know the fleet had been speed limited at some point.
