Indeed. Still want to measure that voltage drop, and then move the load out of the rest of the wire harness (yes it's not 100% stock, but it's less likely to overload the OEM wiring like it would when it left the factory). [FONT=Verdana]They are removable without tools, the mounting clips...

Sylvania H6054 are cheap and fairly reliable, but I also like a good beam pattern. A way of putting it is like the difference between a just out of boot camp infantry grunt who had never held a gun before enlisting shooting at the enemy vs. a 6-tour Marine Scout Sniper who had to kill dinner...

That material is a closed-cell foam with an aluminum liner bonded to it. Kind of a joke to say it blocks 97% of radiant heat and then install it somewhere that doesn't have an air space, where most of the heat will be conducted... :cookoo: I just did a post this week in the HMMWV forum about...

The issue with yellowing is the material. Get a glass-based fixture. Sylvania H6054 should be a glass reflector and lens, with a Halogen capsule inside for the filament. If you're doing a bulb replaceable fixture, either Hella (I don't personally like these) or Cibie (these are my favorite...

If you do Perl on Raspbian (Debian Linux for Raspberry Pi), I can give you a hand with the code a bit - in fact I'd recommend making this open source so anyone can copy/improve/debug.

IIRC (from a TV show I saw 15+ years ago, before How It's Made I think), GM uses a burp funnel equivalent and they pull a vacuum in the coolant system with the overflow hose (which goes into the overflow tank from the radiator neck hose) until the engine reaches temperature at the factory...

Coolant getting pushed out usually signifies a pressure introduction in the cooling system. If you smell something that's similar to exhaust from the radiator cap opening with the engine running, you may have a blown head gasket. It goes without saying that you should start with a cool engine...

If you can manage a military antenna on your truck, you can get a decent CB setup with only a little work. I picked up a pair of SFB3512/VRCs to use with an R. A. Miller (RAMI) multiband antenna multiplexer (CB, AM/FM, WB, Cellular) - this antenna doesn't need a tuner if used with the...

Welcome from California.

Your alternators are ( absolutely should be!! ) isolated ground, if a stud was spinning it's probably because the nut inside was not tight - having that fall inside is a good way to have an electrical fire start... You should have two fat wires coming out of that alternator too - since it's...

Try as they might. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnVZXQD5_k I thought I did a good job getting a real vehicle... If that's not enough, the XM1027 will be its replacement when finished (cannot wait to get back into that now that the summer calamity has ended...). That's the kind of truck...

They never did kill it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTPnIpjodA8

Do you have a multimeter for measuring voltage?

Hard to kill a Toyota, probably why ISIS/ISIL is using them (much to Toyota's embarassment :oops:). https://youtu.be/xnWKz7Cthkk The wife and my father still have 4Runners (gen4 and gen3 respectively) so I can still have my Toyota fix when I feel the need. Had to have a car we could take to...

If it ain't the fire, it's the fuel. If you say you have a clear line to see fuel flowing that kinda rules out the fuel a lot. White smoke can be bad compression on a cylinder or more, bad injectors (or injector lines, or the IP). Double check the wiring first, then let's have a compression...

With great solemness I have come to the end of my time with a dear friend... My 1993 Toyota Pickup is going to a Toyota specialty junk yard tomorrow morning, having been replaced by the M1009 as my daily driver - 460,294 miles on the clock (I took over its care in 1998 with 96K on the...

A power relay connected straight to the battery will power your winch - control the coil of the relay with the ignition circuit. Done.

AC60G are self regulating. So yes, they change as the temperature changes - it's called PTC or Positive Temperature Coefficient. As the temperature goes up, so does the resistance, meaning it draws more current when cold, and less when hot - in this way they get to a design point where they...

:funny: I found the SAE spec on a law firm page, for 9004 (SAE "U.S.A." H4 equivalent) it's 800 lumens low, and 1316 lumens high. To my recollection that sounds right - and if you look at JW Speaker's page they talk about "effective lumens" in that range... The LED armor light conversion I'm...

I have never come across that specification in a TM - it's more likely to be found in a vehicle purchasing contract (and still then unlikely). Most TM will troubleshoot failures, not individual soldier performance complaints/preferences. Basically, if the light turns on when it's supposed to...
