deep cycle batteries are supposed to tolerate the continual charge/discharge cycles as that is what they are designed for. I hear more folks with troubles with optima than I hear good things... You probably have at lease one bad battery(s) Sometimes the chicken and egg dance. Batteries killed...

What voltage are you running? Is everything 24v? Batteries need to be at least 12.3+ each and alt if 24v, needs to be 28v off the tip of my head. Need to recharge batteries and make sure they hold load and retest alt output.

the tach drive for the ste can fail and has been an issue for others assuming you are picking up signal from those 2 wires? 86humv has some I believe from a previous post.

I just threw options out there as I thought $6 high. The ones on epay on bulk are around $2. I find kascar very reasonable on some items and high as giraffe parts sometimes 😄

They are made by Ancra cargo in Ca. Not sure if they sell direct. There is an epay dealer surplustycoon selling lots of 25 & 50. 222541854226. Maybe he would sell a smaller lot? Breton Industries makes the curtains and rear cargo covers presently that use this buckle also. They do sometimes...

Yes, The BSA is one of the organizations allowed to Retire US Flags ( Burn is not the correct term). Depending on flag size, We typically cut all the stripes away length wise, retire them individually if a large garrison flag, remove one star from the blue field, fold the blue field square...

800 going to razor blade heaven.... what a waste and not all are armored up. It would seem to me that some of these armored lmtv/fmtv have value in rebuilding. Tons of soft skinned out there in service needing future replacement. I can't wrap my head around the math. I remember seeing the...

Hmmwv all models troubleshooting hydraulics for all mile marker winches with correct hydraulic hose routing diagrams different than tm's!

I think I can make it and bring that tire you need for your spare :-) if you still need it....

There are many ways to mount the ac unit(s). I have seen brackets that bring the condenser unit over the top, a member (? Infidel got me? ) here cut troop seat uprights short and mounted the condenser unit on on them sideways so the soft cargo top could still be used? I have also seen the evap...

On Ebay from a Seller in Italy. Shipping is high but I ordered multiple sets to make it less painful. One of the military surplus dealers in Europe also has it: They come in 20x20 or 40x40( like my 5 ton). They also sell the hard plastic backing but I just subbed thin metal...

Eberhard makes the X door handles with locks. Just need paint. Part numbers are posted in a hmmwv thread recently.

I am thinking you need less air not more? OE , they were pretty low air pressures on them. Mine are balanced but when first run up on highway speed cold, they like a mile or two to get happy and then settle down just fine.

I posted some pics and tips for installing the front differential cage on my winch truck on my build thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?157259-Juan-s-M998-HMMWV&p=2064504#post2064504

Front Differential Underbody protection cage Trolling on ebay I picked up from Saturn, the front differential cage for the underbody protection kit for $55 shipped. Only thing I am worried about around here is running over something. No mountains or rock climbing in my future, I am afraid...

8 bolt rims are for bias only. First picture from front shows the tread clearly. They have a different tread pattern with a center rib than the goodyear radial angled blocks on mt Things to look at for bounce is tire pressure, shocks?, worn suspension components?

Radial rims are 12 bolt for early radials or 24 bolt for later models. The newest are 24 bolt in staggered pattern of 2. Difference is the load capacity. As trucks got heavier with armour, load ratings had to go up. Newest ones are around 14k. Bfg bajas are what I use and very happy with them...

Military does use the speaker lights. Seems that is the next style they use after the original led truck lites. Mine came with a set on them. Dash switch is probably for convoy amber strobe. Many of the amtech top trucks have a unit installed light.

:funny: [thumbzup]

Nice Truck! Cool front bumper probably unit made. I recommend on anything you take part, To use anti-sieze on the threads incase you have to go into it again it will be much easier. Welcome to the tan madness! :-)
