    Fuel Gage Always On Full

    I've also found that it's a great idea to put a dab of dielectric grease in the wiring connection so they dont get stuck together and you wind up destroying the rubber. I do it on every connection that I take apart... It's MUCH easier getting them both apart and togther with the grease.

    m105 trailer~ tailgate bracket question?

    The "wooden gate" AKA sideboard thats really a "end board mounts to the side of the trailer. along the outside of the bed when not in use. I've never seen brakets like that. The bows you have are the new metal style ones that will work on the M101 or the M105 series trailers, depending on...

    Fuel Gage Always On Full

    make sure the connections to the gauge are tight, and there is a good ground fronm the gauge to the metal "dashboard" that the gauge sits "in". Meter things out, and see what happens. Is the gauge metal or plastic? I've never seen a 12V fuel gauge for a M series truck, so I think you have...

    deuce value without title?

    I get back to the question at hand, Yes, I say that having a title/clear "no problems" paperwork is worth $$ when compared to a "bill of sale only" IN MY STATE. I wont buy a MV without correct paperwork. No correct paperwork = no reggie in my state = I cant drive it = it's only ever...

    deuce value without title?

    Bottom line is it all depends on what state your trying to get it reggied in, and you need to consult that states DMV rules. For instance in NY, without a SF-97 IN YOUR NAME (and not the guy who originally got it from GL and never bothered to put it in his name then is selling it to you) or...

    Deuce radio placement

    Poof, Yes, thats for a SINCGARS radio set up. If your going to mount a VRC-12 series there, you can keep the power cable, antenna cable, and that speaker, just swap out the mount itself. If your NOT going to keep the mount, Let me know how long the power cable is, and if you want to sell it...

    Which radio for the HMMWV?

    POSNAV was the first name of what later became FBCB2. This was about 1997/8 or so. Google Advanced Warfighter Experiment or EXFOR and you'll see all sorts of stuff they gave us in 4th ID, 1BCT at the time. PLGRs will be arround for a few years, according to Rockwell Collins. They cant...

    Which radio for the HMMWV?

    Somewhere I have tons of pics of my trucks with the predecessor to the current FBCB2, then called the POSNAV, then V1, V2, V3 and the like. It has come a long way since then. Post up the pics of the DAGR stuff... That came out after I got out.

    Which radio for the HMMWV?

    Here are some pics of the common SINCGARS setups from a few years ago that I found online. The most common SINCGARS variant my guys had was the Long Range/Long Range version, that had the 2nd external power amp that would go right where the red Gatorade bottle is. I never quite understood...

    Can we create a salvage yard reference guide, or something similar?

    With LOGSA and SS having free ETM's for just about all surplused MV's, there isnt much good explaination for not having a TM at all. Heck, even Adobe Reader (the program you need to open up the ETM's) is free for the download I dont buy that excuse.
