    I dont trust my oel pressure display

    The gauge should read 0 with the run switch off, if it is reading 90psi it is the gauge.

    Disassambling Gauges for replace the glas

    They would be assembled like any other gauge, the bezel is crimped on, you can pry the crimp open and there are companies that can do this and re-install them without looking like crap but I have never been able to do it. Others will comment with ways to restore the "glass" (I think it is...

    How much does a RF-5020 weigh?

    Just the radio.

    PRC-47 antenna insulator

    I picked one of these up from Fair radio, $20 with screws, washers etc.

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    A little off subject but about batteries, I scored a nearly complete AN/PRC-47 including transit case, very few pieces are missing. I am wondering if anyone has info on the batteries, that and the backpack frames and a couple other small pieces are all I need to make a complete set. And the...

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    Not likely, there is enough solid state stuff in just about any modern radio to make it susceptible to an EMP event. I have two IC-706MKIIG radios wrapped in tin foil placed in ammo cans with steel mesh around the gasket surface, placed inside a gun safe. That radio covers just about any...

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    It is strange how the 5080 is treated like a step child, it was not even given the VRC designation and I see no reference in any Clansman documentation.

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    This is some of the information passed on to me on my VRM5080 group, I have two comprehensive manual (I hope, over 800 pages) coming from England. "The ATU connector pinout is A CLOCK B SILENT C 24V ATU D FMD (Frequency / Mode Data) E 0V F PTT3 G FE (I think this is a word sync for the serial...

    Also if anyone knows where the mounting bases can be found, I need two. I am considering just bolting the case to the radio shelf, all solid state shock mounts should not be needed, certainly would make it difficult to steal.

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    I don't know, the example had a serial number of 4, might be rather rare.

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    I don't think the ARFAT is necessary with the 5080. If you have some documentation that says otherwise I would love to have it as information on the TUAAM is hard to come by.

    Dual Voltage Alternator Over-Voltage

    You can pull the IGN lead off of the regulator with the truck not running.

    Dual Voltage Alternator Over-Voltage

    Just keep an eye one it (like I need to say that) it may fail when it gets really warmed up.

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    looking into this brings up the question about TCM compatibility, it would really help if some folks would give me the part number on their TCM itself so I can do more research.

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    So if you drive it with the old TCM in it, it stays in limp mode and does not throw any codes when the pins are shorted together? I have no idea weather the modus is/can work properly with the setup you have and no ECM.

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    The TCM itself is the same as used in the civy vehicles, over 1000 for sale now on Flebay, again I would look for the hardware number as I showed in an example above to see if there are any with the same number first. (search for the number on your TCM, not the eprom)

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    Again what code/codes is the TCM throwing?

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    Good example, even when looking at the TCM the RPM comes from the ECM which again is not present, I do not think a scanning tool would be of much use.

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    As I said before if I suspected a TCM failure I would buy a couple off of Fleabay, I see tons of them for $20 shipped. I would try them as is and then if it did not shift correctly I would swap the eprom. It would not surprise me that the Live data would be all screwed up because allot of the...

    What codes are you pulling from the old TCM?
