Here is how it looks jumping from 2 12V jump packs. Replace one of them with the jumper cables from the 12V vehicle. 2 12V batteries, each one gets a 12V source. That being said, you need to put a multimeter on the batteries and see what they are actually doing while you are cranking. If...

Finally got around to doing the front side markers into turn signals. List of parts 14ga military prestolite wire 2 Packard "Y" connectors 2 packard female connectors 8 packard male connectors 2 24V relays with wiring harness (I actually found some Y connectors on ebay with a male-male wire...

HP-2 series trailer, can't tell the exact set up. HDT Global acquired DHS Technologies back in 2015. While I don't know what the exact version you have there is, they do list several models on their website. https://www.hdtglobal.com/index.php?s=hp-2 I don't know if they have released any...

The valve to turn on the heater core flow is notorious for failing on the newer trucks with the electronic valve. Most reliable repair is to replace the electronic valve with the manual one from the older trucks. Follow the coolant lines from the engine back into the firewall on the passenger...

I would say it depends on the charger, as the battery pack should be able to take whatever amount of power that the generator can provide in bulk charge mode. The only real difference should be how many hours you have to run the generator overall.

Posted a July rally for this year at my place in McCleary, WA. Details over at the event thread. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/2024-pacific-northwest-rally.222850/

Message me for the actual address if you are planning to show up. It's at my place, so I'd rather not just post the address in public. Last year didn't have a lot of people at it, but it was a different weekend and different location, so not too surprised. This year will do the same location...

So to update slightly, I did end up buying some used fire hose, 1.5" diameter, to cover the slave cables. Tried 1", but the 1/0 gauge cables were too tight of a fit, even using some tire bead lubricant to make it slick. This is for the smaller cable I have, I believe the larger one is 2/0...

Belts with coggs are designed to flex a little easier than non-cogged, so it doesn't really make a difference either way. 7440 and 15440 are basically identical sizes from what I see, so either should work. Belt sizing is confusing but apparently the two belts are 15/32" and 7/16" top width.

Any vehicle with a particulate filter needs some method to do regeneration burns, which pretty much requires computer controls. These trucks don't have computer controls for their engines/emissions.

The plastic layer on the inside is laminated on, so you can't really do anything to change a left side into a right side without eliminating what actually makes it into a ballistic windshield.

I remember reading in the VW forums about the e-brake cable freezing and locking the brakes on, and a few people recommended using antifreeze in the cable as a lubricant. Main purpose of that since it is water soluble, if any water does seep in, it mixes with the anti-freeze to prevent this...

Heat and hammering. I think I also used a floor jack and 2x4 to add some upward force, but it's not exactly stable and requires like 3 sets of hands to keep everything in control.

EDIT: Duplicate post, internet here is being very slow today.

Yes, M1123 is an A2 variant. Closest A2 variant is the M1097A2, (BVY) which is the same truck with a rear bumper on it (both are the heavy variant A2 truck) Taking a look at HummerPartsGuy's website, there's only one part number of radius rod assembly available, and no stock on it. The sleeve...

these were set up to have weight in them, and as far as I know there isn't any way to adjust the braking. Depending on model, 1200 lbs is a good start. Mine likes around 2500 lbs a little better (m1123 with heavy suspension)

I have heard the concept mentioned before, but not sure if anyone has actually done it. You could do the same thing, and probably easier/cheaper by adding an Anderson plug somewhere in the system to do the same thing.

on my BEOD the cables weren't cut, and they just had standard eyelets on the end that gave me the impression that they were supposed to be hardwired to the batteries. I only chopped them off and installed this plug in stead because I set my truck up as mission dictates, whether I'm using it to...

4 850 CCA batteries wired in series parallel will be 1700, compared to the 1100 of the Hawkers, but the main issue is the space considerations. 2 6TAGM batteries will fit with no modifications, 4 group 65 will require some type of modification to the battery box, wiring, or other install...
