If the lights can take 24V you may decrease the complexity by using 24V to power them. I don't understand that diagram, but run 24v to the lights and run the ground wire into the cab to the switch. In other words, switch the ground, not the power.

1. Are the rock lights 12v (for sure) or multi-voltage? 2. How are you switching them? Can you draw out a diagram for how you wired them? 3. From where are you pulling the power for the Orion?

Did you verify no voltage before you started working? Only disconnecting one of the batteries might not be zero volts in your wiring?

What RWH is asking is; does the truck *start* with the switch in both positions?

I'd have a hard time believing a full MRAP halogen light kit would overwhelm a HMMWV 400amp alternator. That may be your answer.

The local Veteran's Day parade wanted the HMMWV and told me I would have two WWII vets in the back seats. Cool, I'll be there. So I get to the staging area this morning and discovered my County Sheriffs have an MRAP? Sleepy little county with a SWAT team, an armored HMMWV (they didn't bring...

Except: I can attest that my M1165 T/C does NOT shift unless the engine is off.

I've been holding out for warm weather to repaint the Duke CIED antenna green to match the truck, but warm is gone here. Yesterday was borderline so I disassembled it, painted it, and carefully put it in the garage to dry. Here's a shot of the no-ground-plane dual band ham radio antenna as it...

The top picture is what's on mine - dead LEDs and all. Second pic is from the base. ZOOM - it's also trucklite

The nearby navy base has two trucks in their DRMO outbound with 'different' looking LED turns; bigger LEDs and fewer of them in the cluster. So apparently there's more than just Trucklite supplying them.

No, not for the front. I did buy two from that same website from beltfed, but on one of them there are several LEDs that don't light up.

$40 each is steep? I bought two pairs (HMMWV and M1101 trailer) here and although the seller is a bit scatterbrained at times, I got them and they're installed and working.

Yes, thanks! If I had thought about it more I would have realized left-to-right wouldn't work for the reason you mentioned. The old dryer circuit (the ones taped to OFF in the picture) are together, so that should have clued me in. EDIT to add: the surge protector too.

General question then; The generator inputs two legs to the two top left breakers to power the house. So how do those two inputs become two 120v legs or phases (or whatever it's called)? Is the panel set up so that every other breaker (up - down) in the panel is getting a different leg? So...

UPDATE: The electrician finally squeezed me in and got the generator connected to the house. My underground conduit came out in the right spot next to the house by good fortune. The generator lock-out wasn't what I was expecting at all - I thought it would be a black box of some sort (having...

I didn't mean at that particular time, just any time while you were out there. There's a short hill-climb on the nearby mil base, and my M1165 will get about half-way up and stop because one wheel on each side will be either off the ground (it's very rutted) or not have enough traction to...

Question: Are you running the stock axles? If so, did you need to do the brake-throttle modulation at any point or did it have sufficient traction it was not needed?

Roll or two of shop towels 2 one gallon containers of motor oil (small leaks can be topped up continually until you're somewhere better) Make sure the epoxy is the fast setting - waiting sucks

This is it, at least for now. Two pads under each block. One corner of the slab is slightly low, so the opposite corner wasn't carrying much weight. Shimmed it up with some hardiplank and now it's perfectly level. I may re-attack at some point to try to get it a little lower, or with only...

First rule of troubleshooting is to return to the previous known good condition, so that was this morning's effort. I jacked it up and put it back on the wood blocks, the configuration it was in out on the driveway. This produced almost no vibration whatsoever. Wife was as shocked as I was...
