    Alternator undercharging?

    looks like batteries are ok. Did you load test? 25v too low for alt, so assuming batts are good, alt is suspect or the internal regulator.

    aftermarket Speedo

    On the hmmwv I think it is all good, direct mechanical drive. Not sure on the M939, I know the A1 & A2 use a different 90* adapter on the cable due to the tire size to make the ratio correct but the speedo is the same unit. Should work ok as long as the correct tire size matches the ratio of the...

    aftermarket Speedo

    Thinking of replacing my stock mechanical speedo since mine does 69/70. I know they have the electronic 80mph in the later models. My thought was to use an aftermarket like this autometer #2690 since it mechanical and change the bulb to 24v . Anyone gone this route?

    Alternator undercharging?

    deep cycle batteries are supposed to tolerate the continual charge/discharge cycles as that is what they are designed for. I hear more folks with troubles with optima than I hear good things... You probably have at lease one bad battery(s) Sometimes the chicken and egg dance. Batteries killed...

    Alternator undercharging?

    What voltage are you running? Is everything 24v? Batteries need to be at least 12.3+ each and alt if 24v, needs to be 28v off the tip of my head. Need to recharge batteries and make sure they hold load and retest alt output.

    Looking for Rear curtain cam buckles

    I just threw options out there as I thought $6 high. The ones on epay on bulk are around $2. I find kascar very reasonable on some items and high as giraffe parts sometimes 😄

    Looking for Rear curtain cam buckles

    They are made by Ancra cargo in Ca. Not sure if they sell direct. There is an epay dealer surplustycoon selling lots of 25 & 50. 222541854226. Maybe he would sell a smaller lot? Breton Industries makes the curtains and rear cargo covers presently that use this buckle also. They do sometimes...

    Yes, The BSA is one of the organizations allowed to Retire US Flags ( Burn is not the correct term). Depending on flag size, We typically cut all the stripes away length wise, retire them individually if a large garrison flag, remove one star from the blue field, fold the blue field square...

    Red River Army Depot

    800 going to razor blade heaven.... what a waste and not all are armored up. It would seem to me that some of these armored lmtv/fmtv have value in rebuilding. Tons of soft skinned out there in service needing future replacement. I can't wrap my head around the math. I remember seeing the...
