EDIT: I'm doing this mostly because I haven't seen much of anything about doing this type winch with the milemarker plate. Most of what I read basically stated that you either need the A2 plate and the extensions to do an electric winch, or other stuff like that. Figured I'd document what I...

That is exactly what I am saying. With the meter reading for voltage, you are checking to see what the difference in voltage between the locations where you are placing each of the leads. With the negative battery cable disconnected, there should be no possible way for there to be any type of...

that does not make sense to me. If EITHER of the battery cables are disconnected from the battery, and you are checking from the terminal that is still connected to ANYWHERE in the vehicle that is NOT the opposite battery terminal there should be ZERO voltage. Zip, Zilch, Nada. It doesn't...

look like for the A2 style of brush guard. pictures of them here. https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=268978

More than a few times the generators I work on in the civilian world have had DC charging issues and I got the customer through the outage with a jump start and a small battery charger/maintainer. I like the no.co stuff; I have several of their jump packs (GB150s) and multiple of their chargers...

My understanding was those restrictions were for the trucks that had the "off road only" stamp on the DF-97. If it didn't have that stamp it was just a regular vehicle as far as they were concerned. (I could be wrong about that though. Anyway, in the grand scheme of things $100 isn't that...

If your location is correct you shouldn't need the title, just a licensing office with someone competent that knows how to do the SF-97. According to other threads, they passed some regulations or rules or something to make titling surplus military vehicles pretty straightforward. I can't...

as long as it's a clean SF-97 (no off road only stamp on it) then I doubt you will have any issues that route, as long as the person behind the counter is competent.

When it was surging/dying, did you see any color to the exhaust smoke? When you are cranking it over can you see any smoke out the exhaust? How does the air filter restriction gauge look?

can check fuel to the cylinders by loosening (but not removing) one of the hard lines to the injectors. If it starts weeping fuel when it's cranking, you can pretty much eliminate the fuel system as the likely issue (unless most of the injectors suddenly failed somehow, which is pretty unlikely...

only thing I would change in the above is "gross weight is the weight it can safely carry by specification" I would say "gross weight is the weight of the truck and all cargo it can carry by specification" Maybe nitpicky, but the first one sounds like gross weight means cargo capacity. In...

24V nominal = 28V when running so those are the correct bulbs to use. a little wire brushing, and a little dielectric grease, and they would be good to go. You'll definitely need to clean up inside the sockets.

no, not a typo...

I lucked out I guess. The seller I ordered the bracket from gave me tracking on another item I ordered, so I though they would be here together wed or thurs. Nope, it got here today. Got it installed; only thing I did was drilled out the hole for the power steering lines so I could reuse the...

So I found the issue with the exhaust stud. The exhaust manifold flange for that cylinder apparently isn't formed quite right, so when I go to torque down on it, the stud starts pulling off to the side. Pulled the generator mounting bracket off to get at all the bolts, turns out 2 of the 3...

So far I've just used solder to connect mine to wire. I just haven't done enough connectors (maybe a dozen or so) to justify spending the kind of money they want for most of the crimp tools. No issues using solder. Just held the metal connector piece in needle nose pliers, heat it up, stick...

on mine there are holes in the front, that crossmember everyone wants to remove behind the driver's seat. Mine doesn't have the wire retainer part through them, but wouldn't be hard to add.

much better to only switch power with the unit shut off. As in, don't do it while it's running. Not sure on this unit, but the larger ones all have warnings not to switch while running.

the gauges all have little transparent windows on the side/top/bottom for the light to enter them. A lot of the time they can get covered in dust, not allowing light through.
