If you have your hands on a meter, you'd better know what that is. Otherwise, you're Homer Simpson just looking at the pretty numbers. And yes, a digital volt meter is handy. No doubt, when dealing with quick and dirty measurements, or doing precise micro-volt tests, they are a life saver. But...

--------------- That is simply not possible. As long as you are using some form of liquid, it will remain conductive in the electrolysis world given the suspended impurities in the coolant, such as iron. Isolating the radiator much like an insulated/isolated ground used in hospital A/C and...

NDT is correct. never use a breaker made for AC (Alternating Current) in a DC application. The engineering used (Ohm's and Kirchoff's Voltage Laws) are different between the two. When retrofitting a breaker to an application, an engineering rule of thumb is always to use a breaker that is twice...

Amen brother. I've used the Simpson 260 for analog calibration of rotating machinery because the digital stuff simply will not respond fast enough to the sensor outputs of the device I am calibrating. I don't care how expensive a meter is, that doesn't indicate it's capability for a job...

Trukhead is correct. You have a very small amount of B+ being generated by the chemical reaction of the coolant and the radiator. This is better known as electrolysis. Use a GM radiator coolant (pale yellow) specifically made for aluminium radiators. Running the old school green anti-freeze...

AlphaBravo, Welcome from Nevada! I'm an Arizona native but I live in Northern Nevada. Wear your gloves before you touch that steering wheel! Regards, Dave

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'll just remove the whole top before I head out. It's only 50 clicks to my hooch. I'll just put my 50 sunblock on and get with it.

Recovry- good eye. No sweat, got an industrial sewing machine that can handle that problem. That's pretty typical for sitting in the Nevada sun. And thank you, Happy Father's Day to you too. SF Dave

Hey there Mike! I've been to Dixon many times. I know exactly where you are. So you have a '41 Indian eh? My ex-wife's Dad used to ride his MP Harley from Treasure Island up to Hawthorne Nevada to swap full saddle bags of WW2 1911's with the Gyrenes for ammo. He was a Marine MP at the brig on...

Thanks for the tips Mike, I'll look into the paint. The paperclips on the front bumper are easy to add, I just wish I had a pic from someone to see what the lift points look like on the bed. I read somewhere that not all Marine Deuces had the extra lift points, I assume those were very early...

So here's the deal: I just bought my first Deuce. It's been refurbed at Tooele Army Depot, Utah in 1992. She's got a nice heater, Power Steering (YEA!), 'D' turbo, clutch feels great, brakes are good, and she's got 23,000+ on the odometer dressed in CARC paint. She was a Nevada National Guard...

Howdy Silverstate! I just coughed up a chunk of cash today for my 1968 Deuce (Kaiser-Jeep) She's a beauty! I can't wait to get the paperwork all settled so I can drive her home. You know, a long time ago I owned a boat. The happiness went away the first time I tried to put her in the water...

Texas! My family settled there around the 1850's. GG grandpa was a Johnny Reb with the Texas 20th Infantry. Ooorah!

HAHAHAHAHA Now that's some funny sh**. Honey, the dog is depressed. I have to give'm a ride. Be right back... days later.............

================== Sorry brother, but you're going down a road with a dead end on this one. If you're right, you'd better tell everyone on here that their vehicle is illegal to run on the road (as built). I'm sure you'll be very popular in your zeal. So let me mention this to you: if you were...

========= Still waiting for a 'source' that states 'as built during manufacture' is meaningless to current regs. If you own a 1953 Chevy and have it inspected, (pick anywhere), they cannot insist that you install airbags, sidemarkers, cat converters, blah blah blah. It's called a post facto...

Doghead, you have a source on your assertion about not meeting safety standards when built? It's extremely hard to believe that thousands of military trucks were simply allowed to be built when they didn't meet minimum safety standards.

I found radio TM's here: http://www.radionerds.com Have fun.

A few other items of interest on the FM radios PRC-25, 77, RT 246, RT524, R442. Receive sensitivity was always set for a sig gen to inject a 3 micro volt signal between 30-75.995 mhz via a coax cable to the coax antenna connection on the radio. All units were required to have this minimal...
