One guess - Measure the voltage on both sides of the LED to a known good ground and see if you are getting 24 volts to both sides of the LED when it's off. I suspect you are somehow applying power to one side of the led, which is leaking to ground (through something like the contactor coil) on...
Look at this website for all kinds of Diesel Air / Water heater experiments and tests.
I am currently experimenting with installing one of the Chinese Diesel/Air heaters in my Helmet Top.
I have found that "Oil Flow" from Titan Labs (Amazon) works great on really gunked up hard grease deposits. There are different versions of Oil Flow, depending on your need. This will dissolve just about anything including most adhesives and plastics.
This seems too short. Try double or triple cycling the plugs before starting to see if that helps. (After the light goes out, turn the switch off, then back on, for another glow cycle).
Not made up. Happened to a friends H1. Went out one cold morning, and had all four tires flat and off the rim. Somehow I got volunteered to help put the tires back on. Had to jack up each tire and pop it back on with ether and a real compressor. The ether will pop the tire back on the rim, but...
If you do decide to install a CTIS, search for "air suspension manifold" or "air ride manifold" those solenoid blocks would make a handy valve setup (don't know if they come in 24 volts, but you can always add a resistor.
Rhino is the way to go. They have the strongest turnbuckle / ratchet mechanism to raise and lower your tire. Bolted directly to the airlift bumper using the supplied bolts and existing holes. They do sell a kit to mount one if you don't have the bumper.
I ordered some brake calipers back in April, and they still don't have them. Their parts manager sent me updates, saying that they might ship them in October. Their supplier is having issues getting the parts for them.
I used to use commercial silicone fluid, until it became difficult to find at the local stores (Harley-Davidson is one of the few users of silicone fluid). The small bottles were also getting too expensive.
I recently bought a 1 gallon jug from one of the mil parts dealers on epay, and that is...
They not only make Chinese HMMWV parts, the make the whole vehicle ( Dongfeng Mengshi ), since they bought the rights to it. Amazing, we develop a military vehicle, then sell it to them.
For VHF/UHF you could use the broadband SF-3512 , if you can find a good used one. (A new one costs more than a ham rig). For HF I use the AT-1011, with a NVIS attachment on the spring mount. The four pieces I use makes a 16 foot antenna, which is pulled over the truck from the rear mount to...
Just a thought, If you can't get the manuals, mentally break the unit down into smaller troubleshooting units. Get a voltmeter, and work your way from the batteries to the inverter, and see where the power stops, then work on that part. Same with the generator. See what is keeping it from...
Some thoughts,
Where are you not getting fuel? Have you disconnected the high pressure tubing at the pump outlet to see if you are getting fuel there? If not, are you getting fuel into the pump? Is the pump adjusted correctly so that it allows fuel into the pump when the lever is in the correct...
Mine came with an instruction CD, but all the disk has is the manual that is on the web, and sales brochures for all the tops they make.
I attached a picture of where the rubber strip was mounted on my top. It did not come separately.
I just purchased a brand new Helmet Top off Iron Planet, which I intend to use to replace my rusted out steel roof, and upgrade to a helmet top. This top looks like it has all the hardware and gaskets shown in the installation manual from Amtech.
Any advice or any issues I need to look out for...
