yup, stock horn just goes "meep meep". It's meant more for letting people walking nearby you are there, not yelling at other cars. I wired a pair of Hella 24V horns into the circuit parallel to the stock horn. https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-940800821-Black-Trumpet-Universal/dp/B01EG18Y8I

warmer climates can increase growth, but all you really need is water and light for algae to grow in diesel. Going through the tank of fuel at least once per month, you really shouldn't be seeing any issues. It's typically longer term storage, but if the fuel is contaminated then it doesn't...

Since it's harder to check with the wires hooked up, find the hot wire, make sure that one is plugged into the horn. You should still see 24V on the other horn wire because as pointed out above, the horn button is just a ground. If you have voltage coming out of the horn, try grounding it and...

my first thought would be check your local area and see if there are any starter rebuild shops nearby. It's usually a lot cheaper to rebuild rather than replace, but not always.

Well, so far the interest I was getting in doing this as a group hasn't gone beyond that point. Nobody has gotten back to me and said they are actually going to go or purchased tickets, so I will likely not take the DRASH gen/ecu and just take the 1102 with what I'll need for just myself...

it's been long enough now that DEX VI is probably safe enough, as it being used in automatic transmissions is one of the few things they haven't had to repair in the 16+ years it's been in widespread use (at least that I've heard of)

Not sure when the military switched over to DEX VI from DEX III, but if it's a 2007 truck, then at some point it should have been serviced. As others have said, DEX VI is supposed to be 100% backwards compatible in automatic transmission applications, so there should be no issues using it no...

This link is to all of the manuals. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/ The main things to remember when looking through the manuals are that the M1123 is an "A2" truck. It's equivalent to an M998A2 with a few modifications that the Marine Corps wanted...

Yes, bouncing on V-belts is perfectly normal, within reason. If it's bouncing enough that it's coming into contact with other things like radiator hoses, or you can hear squealing from slippage, then it's too loose.

Okay, so on facecrook they posted a clarification of this: We welcome your complete military displays! There was a question about the "no guns/ammo" - we just won't be offering sales of these items at this event. So they have nothing against you bringing them for display or whatnot, just no...

Correction, line up for the parade on Sunday the 29th is at 12pm, and the parade is at 1pm

Usually a bad carrier bearing will have the rubber shredded or the bearing itself falling apart, or an obvious separation between the rubber and the bearing. To me that still looks okay.

okay, lets get this back to talking about things related to the PNW and military vehicles please. While a little bit of off topic banter can liven the place up, this is definitely going the wrong direction for that. Anyway, I'm still getting ready for the Memorial Day parade in Elma on Sunday...

The original post said he is off grid, so it is not a grid intertie type system, and he is relying entirely on solar/gen power. That being said, I have several customers that are off grid and have solar and/or generator systems. Even the ones without solar only have to run a generator 2-3...

I know one of the guys on here has a module for the 802 and 803 series generators that allow for 2 wire start, which is what many inverters work with for starting the generator. Not so sure for the bigger ones. If you're planning on running the generator 8 hours a day (or that's what I...

I also see no reason you can't. Only real issue is you won't be loading the generator much unless you have a HUGE battery bank and charging system, which is extremely unlikely. There are three phase chargers available out there, or many 240V input chargers will work on 208V single phase. Or...

Depending on where you acquired it, the trailer might have sat for many years without moving, and the tires became out of round because of it. New tires are always the best option. Second option would be find someone that has a tire truing machine and get them shaved down to being round, then...

If it's been sitting a while, many of these units will leak from the fuel return lines from the injectors, so don't get your heart set on getting it all up to snuff in a single day.

Went through our town's cemetery today and put out flags for memorial day. edit: it was our local VFW and Auxiliary.

Yes, that is best practice, but not always the most economical. With banks consisting of only 2 batteries, it does make more sense to replace as a pair, and even more so as they get older. If they are still relatively new, then I might consider replacing only one, but the batteries I...
