My opinion is that 5# isn't going to matter too much. The sidewalls might get a bit warmer but then there's more sidewall in a LR E anyway. Your milage will suffer... rofl
If you expect to go above 70MPH, maybe top them up beforehand.
The springs and shocks combined with the lack of armor...
There is nothing blocked, the lights stand off the grille face by a few inches, so air can flow through there just fine.
We often speculate why the automotive engineers that designed these used the hydraulically powered cooling fan, vs the far simpler and less prone to damage viscous clutch...
I have two locations for the aux tank (semi truck diesel tank) and should probably get to it since the rest of the necessary fittings, valve, and filter are inbound.
Location 1 is roughly level with the onboard tank - shouldn't be much trouble for the generator to pull fuel. PRO: easy fill-ups...
I'm not sure what you mean, the horn button is labeled HORN right on the face of the unit. Are you talking about the horn-ring function, where you hit the horn button on the steering wheel and the siren or airhorn sound? It has that, and I used it in the M1009 but will not use it in the HMMWV...
It's a 12v model that has two 100 watt outputs. I run it through a 12v power supply (I forget the brand - it's a blue box that does 70amps?). I have no idea what the siren unit draws but it isn't that much; they recommend a 30amp fuse. This is the siren unit I had in my M1009 previously...
The knob is lockwired to disable the siren tones- only airhorn works. The MAN button with the knob in RAD just tests the speakers, no sound is audible.
Ah, running wire.... Gotta love it. The center table has many wire bundles running up the legs now. With the speakers installed out front, it was time to mount the siren/PA controller and run the wires. With two 100 watt outputs to two speakers, the Whelen is LOUD. Its too loud from the...
I suggest reusing the one that came off unless it looks damaged or compressed by a mechanic that torqued "by hand" instead of to spec.
If you use the gasket maker or silicone read the directions- it probably has to cure for 24 hours before you put the trans fluid back in.
