Dredging this issue up again as I found one of those exact NOS radiators on Ebay that SECO has...every detail is precisely the same...and it won't fit a HEMTT. Even if you try to just use the core and salvage the top and bottom tanks off of your dead original rad - it still won't work - because...
AN/GRC-3 thru 8 radio sets are huge. If the M38A1 had one of those, it would've been in place of the back seat mounted crossways. USMC did that...Army may have too...but it's not that common. Common setup would be AN/VRC-8, 9 or 10 which is the RT-68 transceiver with the PP-112 power supply...
From what I remember, AN/GRC-10 there was usually/only used in fixed-station roles...like part of the repeater/ RWI system in Vietnam. I have a Motorola one at work somewhere which I think has a 110VAC power supply for fixed use. I've seen them in pics now and then, but it's always in some...
Because I can't find a listing anywhere, I'm not sure how the connection from the MT2011 rooftop antenna/ transceiver is supposed to connect to the A-Kit interface 'black box' usually mounted on the dash of M923 and FMTV trucks. Every cable out there with the right pin configuration is M/F...
Bought some lightly cannibalized FMTV A0 trucks a couple of years ago and finally getting around to putting them back together. Two have the alternators robbed off of them (Niehoff N1506-1), and since trying to buy a replacement from our supplier friends is almost what was paid for the trucks -...
Yeah. Easily that. And the switches themselves are ****, and have a failure rate I can only guess at. One problematic puppy in my bunch got that switch changed out for an Off/ On toggle because I just got sick of dealing with it. Lol.
Looks like you have EDM units there, which are usually destroyed. Cool. Northrop Grumman got the contract for the FBCB2-BFT2/ JCR upgrade...so it's interesting they're using DRS Technologies hardware because that company held the original FBCB2 contract. Again cool. Those *should* work in...
Just some observations running the LMTVs I'm responsible for at work vs. M35, M800 series, M900 series we also have.
The M35A2 sort of sets a standard that's hard to beat. In a SHTF situation...I'll take one of those. It starts every time - it will run with no alternator input beyond the...
So, finally had some time to play with my MTS II tablet, keyboard etc. which was obviously part of the same large lot someone was selling on Ebay there for awhile, which I believe a number of us picked up. Since it had no cabling or anything I'd basically just left it for months - but now it's...
Anyone have a spare copy lying around they care to part with? I'm playing around with some SeaLevel ACC-188 stuff on SINCGARS but can only go so far without the software/ drivers.
The old box design used Clum and Trombetta mechanical canister-style relays to send power to the glow plugs. KDS Green and KDS Yellow used SCRs, which are sort of transistor switches (3 mounted on a heatsink in the one design and 4 in the other, from what I remember.) KDS Yellow uses a...
Glow plugs are good then.
It may have been the connection as that's the temp sensor meant to inhibit glow plug operation if the water temperature is within the cutoff range. You probably have the KDS Yellow label system then, which is one of the least problematic (in my own experience anyway -...
Unfortunately there are many variables here. Next time it short-cycles, don't go to START, but return it to OFF. If you have a set of jumper cables handy and someone to serve as Soldier B, clip one end of one cable to a clean chunk of metal on the engine block, and have Soldier B hold the...
I have a bunch of those sets as well. There is only a top cover - the rest of it is a homogenous unit. I've dremel tooled out the backs of the ones I wanted to fit in VAAs for static display, and toyed with the idea of making something in Arduino to run the displays. Mine came with all the...
Been running in circles over trying to find this stuff and hope someone's found a source. I have all the cross-references known to man at my fingertips but I need someone who actually *has* some I can buy vs. just another bunch of numbers, dead-ends and maybes/ possiblies (which has been my...
On the e-place, search up "movement tracking system". He's got two up, but his pictures are so worthless as to make the word 'worthless' worthless. Though you can see the MT-2011 and the PLGR. He doesn't show any computer, but if it's the grab-n-go with the PLGR chances are if there's even...
Yup. That's the MTS-II bracket. On the front of the fuse box cover there should be four holes where the Comtech 'black box' power supply/ interface went...sometimes they take that out, and sometimes they don't. Coincidentally there's one for sale on the E-place right now - guess we're not...
I didn't know there were some AM-only ones out there...I thought they were all SSB.
Everyone I've come across with a working example of the 320 loves the thing, and say to a one that it's a solid piece of kit well worth picking up. The only problem at the moment is that a lot of the Ebay...
