Put ‘em up on a $20,000 machine (IIRC, might’ve been less) and let the machine spin ‘em up and the little laser tell you where to put the weights and how much. EZPZ. Machine also did road-testing, two tires passed (like 12 and 20 lbs) two failed (100 and 120 lbs, IIRC). I’ll keep driving on...

Spent the day at AOR’s shop (Jeff) helping install his airlift bumper and RICO spare tire mount. All went together with minimal “glitches” - he’d used a list of bolts/nuts/washers needed from someone else on this board and it came up short. I’d brought a “box o’ nuts and bolts” and between the...

I'm back to using those too, after BOTH my Optima yellow-tops flat-out DIED after I let the genset sit without starting for about six weeks. Six weeks. They were reading NEGATIVE loads. I've since connected a VOM and DC ammeter and can't find ANY ghost drain, zero, zip, nada. Bad news is...

“Technical” manual. Just “manual” - obviously - didn’t work. Thanks again.

Your google-fu is far superior to mine, Master. MAN that was frustrating. You’ve made my day. Now to print it out on the company laser before I leave... THANKS.

For a 3-day assault pack NSN 8465-01-580-0981 I’ve looked. NSN-now, Tpub, armyproperty, DLA links, boolean logic searches, zero, zip, nada. Used to own a medium pack, had manual for that, have manual for other LBE and plate carriers. JUST cannot find anything for this pack. Anyone...

Okay, looked through the manuals, this one's been on my mind for awhile as I'd like to place some circuit breakers in strategic locations. One place in particular is the slave port. Have a jumper cable (thanks JuanPrado for parts), generator - with TWO dead, toast, Optima yellow tops (it's...

All the more reason I’m fine sticking with my 6.2L NA and TH400 3-speed tranny, tooling along on side roads at 30-45mph mostly.

Thanks, Greg. I just bought one, but others might be in need. I just hate to use the old one as a paperweight if maybe $75 in parts and a little time can bring it back to useful life if not for me then for someone else.

Call me old school. I just hate not being able to fix stuff. When I was in high school back in ‘75, I rebuilt an English Ford Cortina transmission. Had spares, matched up parts I’d need, then found the most out of the way bearing shop (the only one, IIRC) in town, took like two hours to get...

Just a tip: Wasn't long after I bought my HMMWV that I took the wheels off to change the hub oil. As many others have noted, it felt like most of the lug nuts were torqued down by the heaviest motor pool sergeant in the Army standing on a four foot breaker bar. Fortunately, I have an air...

I'll chime in, too. Does anyone have a reliable, reasonable source for rebuild kits for the fan clutches? All I can find online are the liners/friction material. I have one that will need bearings, seals, if it can be resurrected at all. In hindsight, the $200 price from two years ago seems...

Congratulations, and welcome to the club. Enjoy. Norm

Welcome. Be sure and download all available manuals for your deuce, print ‚em out if you can. You‘ve come to the right place. Norm

It‘s an LED so it‘s polarized. you can use a very low voltage source like a AA cell and see which side is positive, then run wires accordingly, with or without packard connectors.

Just replaced a torn boot on my Yamaha Grizzly. Hadn't done anything like this since my VW bug driving days 30+ years ago. Three days later and there's STILL black staining around my fingernails. I wore gloves, too, but somehow got some of that moly grease into my right glove. It was a...

Weird, the Taurus wasn’t made until 1986. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Taurus You sure that’s the right model/year? Got an OEM part number? Thanks. Norm

The gound wire connects battery, engine, PCB (up top at head bolts), starter, frame IIRC, all wires come together to one larger lug bolted to the most convient place on the engine to do it, which is under the dog house.

DOH! I keep confusing the two. What RWH said. THAT box. Edit: wrong post. But there’s a whole lot of box/starter/glowplug posts.

Any smoke? White? smell like unburned diesel? Without knowing more specifics, I’m guessing it’s glowpugs. Highly unlikely they’d all die all at once. Circuit’s blown, not heating. Pull a cap off one, attach a VOM to it and ground and turn switch to position 1. You should read 24 volts...
