    Push button light switch

    So other than overload protection, how did the newer switch protect against external electrostatic dicharges?

    Push button light switch

    I have read about the 3rd gen ones that esterline has. They have a pdf showing the thermal overload protection that the older one lacked. They listed the part numbers that were different, and I checked mine, I have the first gen. But all that means to me is that I have to take extra precautions...

    0-80 electronic speedometer in a mechanical hmmwv

    Well it looks like there is a separate adapter that is used. The TM shows the sender plugging directly into the transfer case. Unfortunately thats impossible as both the t/c and the sender are male connectors. So where would I get this different adapter? UPDATE: Took another look at the...

    Push button light switch

    Found this handy write up. After reading some of his other comments, I have no reason to think that these units will fail provided people take the proper precautions. No doubt the failures have been because of either A or B below. A) To much current travels through them, possibly because bulbs...

    Push button light switch

    Yeah I'll do that. For the switch functionality, there's no reason why I could build up muscle memory of where each button is for the lights and easily be able to turn them on just by feel in the dark.

    Push button light switch

    I'm not stupid, I am not installing the unit until I know it is safe.

    Push button light switch

    Believe me I've heard all the gripe about these things. But I love the look of them, I don't mind the functionality, but I would like to do everything in my power to prevent the unit from catching fire. And I got this unit used for $50. I plan on running ground wires to the gauge cluster, body...

    Registering a Hmmwv in California

    Got mine registered in cali. I would suggest going to different dmvs and maybe go out into the country. The dmv I was at basically didn't care and gave me plates within hours of first showing up.

    Blown 6.2 any suggestions

    By your description, I think you are hearing your fan turn on. Nothing wrong with the engine in that scenario.

    How to add thermostat flow control to red dot ac?

    It has a master on/off switch and a high/medium/low fan switch. Blower only turns on when the master switch is on.

    How to add thermostat flow control to red dot ac?

    I've been seeing thermostat flow controls all over ebay recently and I was wondering how they fit in wire-wise to the red dot ac system? I have been having to turn the ac on and off when the weather is warm but not hot, and since the fans do not stay on when you turn off the compressor I...

    Engine start up / warm up.

    A good rule of thumb to make sure its ready to drive is to wait for the glow plugs to stop cycling (you'll know when the voltmeter doesn't jump between yellow and green) after that you can drive it no problem, just don't floor it or anything like that until it warms up a bit.

    Humvee education on 998 platform

    Yes that is mostly correct, a humvee isn't readily convertible between the two like a convertible roof on production cars. Going from 2 door to 4 door requires buying mostly all new parts. They designed it that way to make it easier to produce 2 door and 4 door. Cause if the body and the parts...

    6.2 to 6.5 turbo ?

    Picking up a GEP turbo in a little while, was wondering who else has done this kind of upgrade and if anyone has any tips and tricks they could share with me. I will have my buddies shop to help with the heavy lifting, but I would like to invite people to share their experiences and advice for...

    0-80 electronic speedometer in a mechanical hmmwv

    Will the sender not work if it's plugged into the 90 degree adapter? Mine is not working, not sure of the cause yet. I had a spare t case lying around and I did basically what you said, I unscrewed the 90 degree adapter, but to my surprise there was a square drive rod sticking out which the...

    What's that small object to the left of the sender?

    0-80 electronic speedometer in a mechanical hmmwv

    The sender you sent me won't plug into my t case without the 90 degree adapter. If I try to plug it direct in they dont match, it's a male to male mate which won't work.
