No, not for the front. I did buy two from that same website from beltfed, but on one of them there are several LEDs that don't light up.

$40 each is steep? I bought two pairs (HMMWV and M1101 trailer) here and although the seller is a bit scatterbrained at times, I got them and they're installed and working.

Yes, thanks! If I had thought about it more I would have realized left-to-right wouldn't work for the reason you mentioned. The old dryer circuit (the ones taped to OFF in the picture) are together, so that should have clued me in. EDIT to add: the surge protector too.

General question then; The generator inputs two legs to the two top left breakers to power the house. So how do those two inputs become two 120v legs or phases (or whatever it's called)? Is the panel set up so that every other breaker (up - down) in the panel is getting a different leg? So...

UPDATE: The electrician finally squeezed me in and got the generator connected to the house. My underground conduit came out in the right spot next to the house by good fortune. The generator lock-out wasn't what I was expecting at all - I thought it would be a black box of some sort (having...

I didn't mean at that particular time, just any time while you were out there. There's a short hill-climb on the nearby mil base, and my M1165 will get about half-way up and stop because one wheel on each side will be either off the ground (it's very rutted) or not have enough traction to...

Question: Are you running the stock axles? If so, did you need to do the brake-throttle modulation at any point or did it have sufficient traction it was not needed?

Roll or two of shop towels 2 one gallon containers of motor oil (small leaks can be topped up continually until you're somewhere better) Make sure the epoxy is the fast setting - waiting sucks

This is it, at least for now. Two pads under each block. One corner of the slab is slightly low, so the opposite corner wasn't carrying much weight. Shimmed it up with some hardiplank and now it's perfectly level. I may re-attack at some point to try to get it a little lower, or with only...

First rule of troubleshooting is to return to the previous known good condition, so that was this morning's effort. I jacked it up and put it back on the wood blocks, the configuration it was in out on the driveway. This produced almost no vibration whatsoever. Wife was as shocked as I was...

When it was in the driveway on wood blocks it ran quietly and didn't vibrate the house. Now, on the side of the house it vibrates quite a bit. It's certainly tolerable, especially if it's 30 degrees and the power goes out. So this is my list of possibilities for the vibration, probably not...

It's kind of in the only place it can be. The ground is very sandy soil, and I brought in a half yard of 1" minus gravel and tamped it down before pouring the concrete. I'm hoping when the rain comes and saturates the ground it might dampen it some. Wife isn't complaining, just not thrilled...

Genset is on the pad and when bolted down vibrates the entire earth around my house, which includes my house. The glasses in the kitchen cupboard ring like bells. Took RCamacho's advise and put some Diversitech air compressor pads underneath and that took some of it out, but the house still...

Well, the generator isn't doing me any good in the driveway. Poured a slab and then started to noodle how I was going to move a 850# generator from the driveway to the slab on the side of the house. I had an epiphany; if I could get the gen back on a smaller narrower trailer it could push it...

Where is the yard you need to pick it up from? If it's west coast, ship the truck to Retired War Horses and let him sort it out. Steven will give you an accurate account of what the truck needs. Then decide if you want him to get it road worthy or if you want to do the work yourself. It's...

Spent a couple hours today making my M1165 do this, which it isn't supposed to do. (running lights without headlights)

If it were me I'd go with a quality straight 30 weight oil. I don't think multi viscocity oil is bringing much to the party, especially in FL.

I think all motor vehicle forums have these questions - whether it's cooler thermostats, different weight oils, or bypassing coolers. I approach these things by asking myself if I really believe I have more knowledge than the automotive engineer that designed the system; and yes, it's all part...

I renewed my hatred for split-loom this week, finally getting the radio installed. Harris XG-100M multiband. I was gifted this radio rack with shock isolation. The radio didn't fit between the uprights so I took the top off an flipped it upside-down and mounted to the flat surface. The radio...

OK, so the big alternators have a 12v output, but where physically is there 12v inside the cab? Is there a line to the battery box somewhere?
