placing that small of a load on either battery shouldn't be much of an issue in the short term. In the long term it can contribute to imbalance issues, but if you either swap your batteries front/rear every month or so, or put a 12V charger on each of them just as often to do an equalizing...

If it is the 60 amp system, there is nothing on the rear to prevent imbalance either. I think what is being said here is with the 60 amp setup, due to resistances of series loads and whatnot, the front battery always ends up with higher charge than the rear over time, so would placing a very...

if all you want to do ic charge cell phones, they make USB outlets that accept 24V in. one example...

I'm a bit late to this party. I've been one of those people bit by a trailer mounted gen out in the field. Not bad enough for injury, but enough that I insisted the medics check me out. So for the RVs not being grounded, part of it has to do with the load being contained within the same...

16-20 ounces should be plenty. You just need enough to compensate for however much out of balance the tires are. Too much isn't going to hurt anything, just adds extra unsprung weight.

M1123 is a third generation HMMWV, and the M1114 is an ECV so that makes it 4th generation. The roof setup is apparently unique to those trucks as well (it's wider I think?)

only one I am familiar with is the Golden Eagle trailer, which looks different than that one. http://ftnews.firetrench.com/2008/07/silver-eagle-releases-new-fifth-wheel-tactical-trailer-for-hmmwv-use/

You definitely need the soft start kit for that, but it should work no problem. So for comparison (not a direct comparison I know), I have a 3 ton ECU (aircon/heater) that's surplus military. The aircon starts and operates fine with my MEP-802A, and only draws about 60% load. Startup surge is...

Wolfer has been in the business, selling cheap chinese parts with high failure rates, for a very long time. I can't find the posts, but I remember years ago reading about a company selling turbo "upgrade" kits for pickup trucks or cars or something like that, that were failing because they were...

okay, looking at the pictures, you have the Pre 196900 belt setup. That is what I was trying to figure out when asking you about the idler between the generator and power steering pump. I guess I wasn't specific enough. See diagram below (red circle X) So the part number I linked for you...

Shouldn't be any issues that I can see. As long as you do a good enough reinforcement job they're just a basic tie down point.

I agree. Anyone who would knowingly violate a government contract and potentially put the lives of our soldiers at risk, just to make a buck, wouldn't think twice about doing it to the general public.

Isn't SECO the company that got fined recently for selling Chinese knock off parts to the government claiming they were genuine?

part of it also depends on where it is used. Some place with a lot of rain or whatnot, lubrication is good, especially if it sits a lot not being used. Somewhere dusty/sandy like the desert, some surfaces are better off not being lubricated with grease because it will stick to the sand and...

if 112 is too long, then the one I linked from HPG will be much too long. It's in the 126 inch range if I remember correctly. Either that or you are somehow routing it incorrectly. See if you can find a cross to the K081102 from my thread, as it's 110 3/4" long. Can you take a picture from...

So the only parts store axles I'd recommend are the autozone ones. Lifetime warranty. They are made in China, and the quality isn't the best, but as your intention is to use it as a cheap spare to get you home. Plenty of reports of them doing okay, but a few reports of them failing. The...

Probably a good question, but show me a similar type of unit at a similar price that's manufactured domestically.

and if you are curious as to what type of grease GAA is, it's a lithium complex NLGI #2 GAA is an advanced lithium-complex thickened, multi-purpose NLGI Grade 2 grease. This product is composed primarily of synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks, gelling agents, anti-oxidants and corrosion...

it depends on how you wire it. If you wire the converter straight to the battery, then yes, it can (if it isn't done with some type of relay). If you wire it so that the negative side of the converter is on the DC shunt, (basically grounded to the chassis as opposed to the battery) then it will...
