I agree that keeping the twin alternators and adding a standard AC compressor would be easiest. Having said that, I am one to modify things. I would measure the wattage used to crank the engine over times the number of cranking sessions per day times 50% just for the heck of it. After...

I had a great fuel base that worked great (except for the water sensor). It did leak from the filter drain slightly. I could have thrown a dollar worth of o-rings on it and called it good. I decided to do a spin on to bring it in the 21st century. I also wanted a choice of micron rating so I can...

Interesting... How about some type of isolation system to wire the batteries in parallel when the engine is running, then in series for starting. Wouldn't need a panel then.

I think the ISS requires a magnetic trigger on the harmonic balancer. The HMMWV tach input should hook to the alternator lead that has the little rubber boot on top of it. I want to say it's a gray or black wire. I will post up when I get mine.

Bingo That tach would be a great fit. If I can't get my HMMWV tach working, that is the one I will buy next. Small diameter and redline is 3500rpm...perfect. I hate large tachs, especially ones that go to 8000rpms when the engine doesn't. The ISS brand name looks like a decent gauge. Only...

I left it out, it adds more to the cost. I'd rather just drain it manually by hand then rely on the sensor.

If I can't get milspec, I am going with experimental aviation from aircraft spruce. They seem to be priced right and look like they belong in a CUCV. Last thing I am going to do is install some Autozone ricer junk in my CUCV.

I will say that the bleeder on the box filter is better because it has a nipple. Yes, I said nipple. This one just has a plug. Since my entire system needed bleeding, I pulled the outlet hose and stuck it in a bottle instead of using the bleeder. I have no feedback for you. I'm sure it makes a...

Rock on MV all the way! Speaking of gauges...I just picked up an M998 tach off ebay that I will be installing. Even after searching, the hookup sounds pretty vague. I hope feeding it the signal off the alternator works fine. Has anyone used other MV gauges? I would like to add oil pressure...

$10k, probably needed a bulkhead and frame easily which would set you back $20k by the time you had it the way you wanted it. I was down in RI helping a friend do some wiring on his sailboat. I was sitting in town eating lunch. This woman drove by (probably going to get groceries) in a very...

My box filter was working fine but I had some small drips from the water drain, the water in fuel sensor lost its mind, and in general I dispise its very existance. While I had the fuel system torn down doing a new injection pump, I seized this moment to upgrade the filter system to protect my...

Buffed half of my truck. Paint was so faded and oxidized I had to use HD compound and countless amounts of towels/sweat just for the drivers side.

You really should have matching batteries for your 24v parts to be happy. I am very happy with my Exide group 31 batts from Tractor Supply. $200 and I was out the door.

The price of one diesel D90 could buy me a fleet of awesome MV's. My friend is just finishing up a D90 that has been built 4 times by the owner. The latest version which is shipping this month has a galvy chassis + bulkhead, linex'd everything, 300Tdi, dual overdrives, etc. Pretty much spared no...

The Defenders and Series rigs are truly one of the best designs ever that can be dismantled, shipped to a 3rd world country, and rebuilt numerous times over decades. They just keep going and going. Would it hurt Lucas or Bosch to put a decent zinc or gold plated connector on something:cookoo...

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I work on Land Rover/Range Rover in the summer time. My day consists of rot repair and electrical diag...that's it:drool:

This sounds like it was painful to figure out. Glad I just read it:-)

I'm just stating that spending an extra $1500 on one that is in better shape will net you much more than one that is $1500 cheaper. If you buy the cheaper one and spend a bunch of money fixing costly items, you still have a clapped out truck with some new parts. Unless you are into doing the...

Beautiful rig!!! Two questions What is the bracket on the dash pad where the left passenger A/C vent would be? Is that a standard CUCV part or something custom? I am asking because I have a tablet computer for GPS that would stick with some double sided 3M sticky tape nicely to that. Where...

Searching is your friend. The dummy lights have dummy sending units which are not compatible with gauges. You will need to source the correct sending unit for your gauge. If you are going to run mechanical gauges, just start off with that because they are cheaper and come with the sending...
