    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    Yes, amps is the rating to be concerned with for this situation. These would work fine.

    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    I'd bet the depth/length is "standard". They rate the switches by amps, or amps and volts. I'f your using an led backup lamp, amps or volts(rated) most likely will not matter.

    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    My guess is the switch thread size is a somewhat standard size. Like, commonly used in transmissions and such. So, the switch is somewhat standard but the mil-spec wire(and connectors) is not. There are stitches with no wires attached(screw terminals) that are standard that have the same...

    Acme and a few other companies make these threaded inserts. Google search, 9/16-18 insert, or 9/16-18 x 3/4-16 insert, and or threaded.

    do all CUCV's drain their batteries?

    The short wire is needed. It grounds the alternator on the driver side. Without it, you will not be charging your front battery. These alternators are not case grounded. Do not ground the other alternator though, they are used in series.

    Need A Value For This Fairly Clean M-725

    If it's unfair, they will decline your offer. So the one value you were really after was what to offer to purchase it. That was not to hard.

    I'll simply close all three threads. If they are deleted, everyone's time is wasted. We treat this site as a resource, not a chat room.

    Need A Value For This Fairly Clean M-725

    $4000- 10000. Now, that's my opinion. When you get 30 other opinions that vary from scrap value to $25000, how you gonna know what to think? This is totally subjective.

    Need A Value For This Fairly Clean M-725

    Well, you have 10 replys in the one thread for both vehicles. After looking at your recent treads I now see you started a second thread for the other vehicle too. Again, this is not allowed or acceptable here on SS. When I delete your original thread it is rude and a waste of everyones time...

    Dang it, you got me. You already have a thread on this! Please do not start multiple threads for one thing. We call this cross-posting and it's against the rules for several reasons.

    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    I had a whole bunch of windows open, but I have closed them all. I don't really want to go looking again(right now), sorry. There was a commercial generic switch available, that was cheap. I think it was a napa number and maybe standard auto. I started with googling "HMMWV reverse light...

    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    You have no points "pending". So, this bushing is needed for the wrong switch to be used, is that correct? I've seen a few pics of a bushing with a neutral switch posted on the internet, but nobody posted a part number for it(just hardware store names) Try a google search for "threadsert"...

    I did find the NSN for the correct switch, and several manufacturers part numbers for them. looks like a $30 item. I found it with the parts tm, then a google search.

    Won't start after gel up.

    Red for emergencies, white for all winter treatment (gelling). Gray for algae treatment. Must use white all winter.

    If you post an NSN for the bushing, we may be able to help you find the manufacturer and a part number for it.

    You received a point(infraction) for posting an bay item number. You were not penalized for starting multiple threads on the same topic(only warned).
