    Second set of batteries

    I want to hook up one or two seperate sets ( 2x12v) batteries to the slave output on my M54A2 and charge them while I am driving. One set will be in a large shelter in the bed, and the other set will be in a small shelter on a trailer. I am thinking that the regulator will see it as one 24v load...

    M109A3 Shop Van external AC connector plug

    Munk, the output of the slave connector on your truck is 24 volts DC. If you connected this to your shelter, you would need to change all the bulbs to 24 volts DC which would be difficult at best . Then you would only be able to use devices that operated on 24 volts DC in the shelter. There is...

    Removing lug and budd nuts!

    Be warry of tire shops. They use the big air impact wrenches and torque the nuts on way too tight. The big rigs have the nuts put on at really high torques and these guys don't understand about MV's or the fact that we might be changing a flat with hand tools out in the boonies. Don't ask how...

    5 ton wrecker crane and winch in a deuce?

    Recovery4x4, supposedly my modified M108/XM211 has a 21 foot hook height. It looks like they changed out a part of the boom to do this. I am currently in the process of making the hydraulics work. I have some pictures but cant get at them right now. If you are interested, let me know and I'll...

    M211 Wheel bearings

    The lube instructions are just for the actual bearings so they do not reference the tiny seal that is used for the shaft keyway. If you look in the TM 9-1819AC on page 288 you will see a tiny part labeled 'E' which is 'seal, oil adjusting nut' I believe this is the same as the cork or RTV...

    How To: Hub Flip

    Hi Mike, I have an M211 and went to put striker tires on it with the 6 bolt rims. The tires hit on a protrussion off the frame so I flipped the wheel and put it on. I am wondering if what I really should do is flip the hub and put the wheel back on normally. Would there be much variation in...

    M211 Wheel bearings

    Started to do maintenance on XM211 wheal bearings and seals. After reading the manual TM 9-1819AC, I don't see anything that talks about packing the bearings with grease. Does this mean that they are only lubricated with gear oil from the diff's? Is the "seal, oil adjusting nut", the same as...
