Not a problem. I actually do civilian generators for a living, primarily home standby units. Everyone has different goals for generators, so I get asked a lot about what generator to buy. Some people I recommend things like the little Champion 2800 dual fuel generator (propane or gasoline) if...

Military gen sets are made specifically as "prime power" units. What this means is they are made specifically to run for weeks or even months on end, with the only shut downs being for regular maintenance, which is a lot less frequent than one you can go down and pick up at the hardware store or...

Using Adobe reader makes it pretty easy, you just have to use the "find" function and type in the word you are looking for. It helps if you know the actual military name, but if you know a basic description or the name of a part in the assembly it narrows it down a lot.

if it's the 60 amp then adjust down your regulator to the proper voltage, and then recheck the batteries. If 100/200, then you likely need a new regulator. Do you have any 12V accessories tied to the batteries? Also, the forward battery tends to get more voltage than the rearward battery...

If you can't tell, I'm using this thread to write down all the various thoughts going through my head on the subject. I still don't know what I'm going to do or even if I will end up doing anything, but found this to be an interesting problem to work through and find possible solutions for...

So here are my current thoughts for going with an electric over hydraulic (EOH) brake actuator (or rather using two of them) I found that someone does actually make a brake controller that works with 24V electrical systems. Then discovered that the EOH actuator only requires 5 amps from the...

So to add some pictures and some more info/thoughts since looking at it closer. HMMWV wheels won't work on it, too much backspacing, and I'd rather not make the spindles stick out any further than they already are. The wiring input into the dolly is actually a commercial 7 pin round plug (not...

There are something like 2 self resetting breakers, and zero fuses. If the dash isn't working, then likely you have an issue with an electrical ground connection. It's common with these trucks to have bad connections. You have to basically just keep checking every connection until you find the...

A2 are vented rotors. The part numbers for them are the ones in the standard parts manual, not the ECV parts manual. None of the others will be in TM 9-2320-280-24P (books one and 2) Unless you have an ECV or REV truck then that's where the numbers would be.

Thank you for that, I hope you don't mind me borrowing it for this discussion (I did make sure to show where it came from)

MS75020-1 just one example. https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/trailerplug.html

? The brakes on it should be overkill for the load as rated by the military. The trailer is well within the truck's ratings and capabilities. What reasons would it not be that good?

Unless you are testing it for continuity using a meter and have the switch isolated, all that tells you is that the brake lights aren't working. To use a household wiring example, you walk into a room and the lights don't work. Flicking the switch on and off isn't turning it on, so you're...

is there any other difference between the 10.3 and the true 12k/12.3 other than flange size? Wondering if a spacer can be made to fill in the flange area to make the small flange rotors fit the large flange size, and if anything else would need changed.

So what I saw was 1000psi and 1600psi actuators. 1000psi are for drum brakes 1600psi are for disk brakes. The M200 will have drum brakes.

No, there are different sizes on the flange portion. Picture borrowed from https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=288159 if you are upgrading from 7/10k, then you want the 12k vented rotors

yeah, but downside of SF-97 taking so long in some places is not wanting to dump money into the truck until you know it's licensed.

on mine right now unless I press down hard I have no brake lights. Need to adjust the engagement switch that hooks to the brake pedal. If it's just no brake lights that's a good place to start. If other lights aren't working as well then start looking more at the switches, wiring, and bulbs.

So the area of the curtain where the rear seatbelts are should have one side with extra material on it. The other side should be flat. The side with extra material goes to the rear and over the seat belt brackets, the inside wall gets cut within that area to give space on the inside. Check...
