I don't think that is a smart start box, IIRC that is a really old box, its days were numbered.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
As usual, you are correct Mog. I opened it up and there are numerous contacts inside burnt and melted. Also with a date code of 2002, truck is a 2001.I don't think that is a smart start box, IIRC that is a really old box, its days were numbered.
Everything you ever want to know about rebuilding your PCB EESS to bulletproof.Yep, been an owner for all of 9 days and the Smart Start box has the bed.......There goes $1000 that I wasn't planning on spending.. Or that I wanted to put into the spare tire carrier! Truck has run perfectly for those 9 days. Starting no problem in 20degree weather. Was out diagnosing an oil pressure sending unit issue, go to start it and "wait" light just blinks momentarily than nothing! I know what I have to do. I thought getting rid of my 32' boat was going to free up some money and time. My Bad...
That board doesn't look to be burned all that bad I wonder if you could just rebuild it for a couple bucks.Yep, been an owner for all of 9 days and the Smart Start box has the bed.......There goes $1000 that I wasn't planning on spending..

Attaching a few pictures for folks that are visual. Don't really know what happened here but I know what overheating and melting looks like! FYI, all GP test out at 1.7 OHMS
He does a pretty good job of getting difficult to ship stuff to you in one piece, he shipped me a set of supplemental armor doors that came in without any more scratches than they already had! looks like Fastenal!!

I got my rhino from him a few weeks ago and it was an easy fix. Installed it recently and just finished aligning the rear end to get rid of the extreme camber. It's amazing how much smoother the truck rides with a couple hundred pounds hanging out behind the bumper!Got a broken rhino tire carrier from beltfed, now the fun part of fixing it!
Good to know, I was actually wondering about that. I just finished installing almost 200 pounds of rubber mats, plus the turret parts and now the rear tire carrier. I figure every pound will help the ride quality!I got my rhino from him a few weeks ago and it was an easy fix.

Definitely! My plain old 1097R1 with a soft top didn't ride bad with 30 PSI TP in the MT's, but the rear seat backs would bang around even on rough pavement before I put the rhino on. Pretty smooth now and way better on gravel washboards.Good to know, I was actually wondering about that.

You must have a very understanding wife. (She got a sister?) Don't forget to skim a few $$ every coupe of big purchases for flowers, lots of flowers...By the way I realize I need new floors and a new kitchen, but I got my priorities straight. Humvee parts come first.
