The STE-ICE may work in some limited fashion; but it does use 24VDC. He might be able to temporarily rig something; but then it would not really be accurate. It is frowned upon to convert to 12VDC since the only person who might know how the electrical system really works is the person who...

Some other things that were mentioned were other ways to weatherproof and increase the clean metals for a better solder connection. This is where training, experience and intended application come into effect. For soldering, yes a light acid does help out alot. If you are in the market for...

well, this is a requirement for preventative maintenance. Shipboard units are required to do this monthly according to the PMS cards that I have been issued. We are also requried to meg and record the readings of our transmission lines and antenna's.

we use it all the time at work there are several manufactures out there. I like the starbright we normally get out of the stock system. the 3m stuff is good too, but it takes several coats. we use it on control lines and coaxial lines I do have a large write-up i have included in contracts...

I am having an intermittent problem that is similar. I replaced my batteries about 7 months ago, went on a 4 month deployment and now sometimes the starter will crank with the gear engaged then midway through cranking disengage. I can hear the motor running until I stop cranking, so i know...

yes most of the parts for the truck are available at your local parts store...unfortunately some parts are military specific and its fun to find them whne you need them. Just as Blood_Of_Tyrant said the starting, glowplug, slave start and blackout driving lights are the only thing that is...

I had my M1028 sitting for 4 months while on deployment here in Kodiak, AK. Just got back 3 days ago and it started up like a champ. I was jumping alot of other cars even today when I got off duty. Do you have any non-standard equipment hooked up. BTW it was below freezing when I reached my...

Dave, there is no ACC circuit on the CUCV's at least not in the backwards position like most cars and trucks now have. yes there is one in the run position. You can run 12VDC gear on the run position. depwnding on how crazy you get you can run 12vdc in multiple ways. I am not sure how much...

I run the E-code Hella's here in Alaska on all my rigs. They let you see so much better, as it tends to be rather dark in the winter months.

i had to replae mine about a year and a half ago. i just called up the stealership with the part number from the manual and i was able to get one sent to me in Kodiak. it was not the cheapest thing but it was not too bad either

wow where have i been, Hey I have the drivers side stuff i have been pulling it and crating it up since i do not have the pass stuff. hit me up if you want or need any of it i'm just over in Kodiak

I too have heard a sizzle sound on occasion mine has come from the resistor for the glowplugs when i manually hold them on for too long. it steamed one time too but it had been sitting for a while when i had those issues. as far as the turn signal goes you most likely have a ground problem or...

don't forget the brass/bronze/lead/nonmaring drift punches and or hammer i also like to hit them with a 4lbs hammer. you might want to get replacement studs while your at it if they are orginal too since you will be driving them out. Oh and tech info is also on Pirate...

WOW those look alot like the old Goodyear work horse tyres. I loved those things for snow and ice, plus they were studable. Here in Kodiak, we get the snow, sleet, rain freeze then repeat from late october till may. The Workhorse tyres were it but since they are no longer manufactured in...

BFG All terrians are awesome in snow and ice conditions IMHO.
