I've seen several handheld corded lights that pop up on eBay from time to time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324487234972View attachment 864789anyone seen a light like this in an LMTV or any other vehicle. does not seem to be in the TM part manual that i can find
I have these lights but with brackets for hanging / stowing - not magnetic bases. I made a cable that connects to the RAWLS receptacle & I changed the bulb from 24V to 12V. They work great!I've seen several handheld corded lights that pop up on eBay from time to time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324487234972

I believe many interior aircraft lights came with red, green, or blue filters or you could “blackout” the white light. Those could be aircraft interior lights but not used where any light would be seen from a door or window.
These are a good find. Thanks. Ordering a fistful to have around.I put one of these on each sun visor. They are bright AF, and have both red and white LED's. CHEAP and won't drain the truck batt if you leave it on:
Bonus - you can pull one and clip it to your hat if you need a work light.
You want IR, not UV, for that (though the NVGs will amplify any light in the visible spectrum too).These are a good find. Thanks. Ordering a fistful to have around.
Also, I'm digging the UV ones. I ordered a few of those as well. Hopefully they work well with my NOGs.
common issue. Your on the right track.... replace springs, search internet on how to lube bicycle, motorcycle, boat?? brake, fuel cables. Some have modded their fuel pedal with a spring from a screen door hinge even.Any advise on freeing up the throttle peddle. I tilted the cab up and touched one of the springs and it broke, so i will replace that, but the peddle in the cab has to be pulled up
The cables are old and corroded inside, so they just don't move smoothly. @Suprman suggested filling the rubber boot with silicone oil and gently using air pressure to force the oil down through the jacket. I tried that, but couldn't get it to work. You may have better luck.Any advise on freeing up the throttle peddle.

I am going to try a cable luber and see if that worksThis is kind of on my list as well. There's so much spring on mine that my leg gets tired after a bit of standing on the pedal to keep it up to speed on the highway. I'm wondering if maybe just swapping it for a quality aftermarket replacement is in order.
I have not looked AT ALL yet to see how the cable attaches at each end, but I'm thinking one of these Lokar units might be made to work. https://www.lokar.com/throt-cable-kickdowns.html
