With my Sound deadening in, my results are: 71 db idle. 80 "Country roads" (35-45 mph) and 86 highway. These are ranges for the most part, but thats about average. Originally I was 76 idle. 85 country roads. 90 highway.
at idle and on country roads the noise is almost all engine noise...
For the cost of that, I could get two of the Ridgid units and do two tires at once.
The video I posted above, did an empty truck tire to 80 PSI in 5 mins. Thats not bad. Id be going from about 20 to about 40
I never knew such things existed. there are plenty of 24v battery brands out there that would run off the truck then. I cant seem to find anything that powers the tool tho.
Are people sure that NY is friendly? I am a former resident of that Soviet republic and do travel back there a few times a year. I have seen two HMMWV tagged in the state but I assumed they must be older units. NY does a yearly inspection, including emissions testing.
I think vehicles that...
Does anyone own one of these battery powered air compressors? I have tons of RIDGID batteries and would bring my impact with me anyways. They have two to chose from.

I’m waiting at the AC shop now. How long should it take to add the refrigerant?
The Tech said he can’t get the compressor to run, I told them they have to jump it.
I left some of the TMs printed out in the truck for them, but they won’t let me back in the shop
Somewheres on this site someone replaced the electric gizmoe with the manual valve and cable from the earlier systems. I cant find that thread right now, but thats what I hope to do.
So the cheaper Amazon valve did not work? I assume an OEM one would have?
And your just ended up with a ball valve from Lowes or something? Trying to get clarification as I plan to upgrade to this style so I can control the amount of AC better than just Low or High
I just called ComTac about their REV brake pads and rotors. Dude on the phone said they are not cleared to sell these pads/rotors to the US armed forces, but they do sell to other countries who use US made equipment (Humvees) and also sell to the Defense Industry. IDK if that helps anyone.
Are they oem lights or aftermarket? I had aftermarket lights go bad in about 6 months and it fried my 3 lever switch. Bought OEM lights and a new switch and it worked.
I was planning to remove the hood, but can I just hinge the oil cooler out of the way?
I’m also curious how you’d do it without removing anything? From underneath maybe?
I need to replace the fan clutch on my truck. This is a REV model with the extended snout and geared fan drive, so it is different than most.
I need to remove the radiator to get to the fan clutch., and I need to remove the Oil cooler to get to the radiator. The Oil cooler does engine Oil...
I’ve loved my humvee project since buying it two years ago. I want to get another one, a REV non-runner, as a bigger project. I’m just wondering how long I can wait before the auctions come to an end?
A non runner I assume?
Another Q - what happens with all the parts just floating around in the backseat? Obviously I’d want those to not blow away on the highway. What will happen with stuff like this?
