If it is round at the differential end, then it's a 7 or 10k. can be used interchangeably. If it has 3 flat sides, then it's a 12k. then for the 12k shafts on the left is how the solid brake rotor and ECV/REV mount to, so smaller center round portion on the face. Right is for early vented...

i am planning on taking the old one to a starter rebuild shop next chance I get and see if there is something better available before trying to modify one on my own. I didn't do the dielectric grease on anything this time, and last time I put it together I did try using sealant on the motor but...

So the cheap chinesium brush holder assembly fit exactly how it was supposed to. The only thing I had to do was drill out the 3 screw holes and retap for 10-32 threads as it came with 8-32 threads. Found a short chunk of PVC pipe to hold the brushes in place for reassembly. Forget if it was 1...

no, the 12V is strictly 12V; it doesn't get converted in the regulator to 24V As for wiring in a second battery bank for 12V, if you have a 3 speed truck then yes, wiring to the 14V tap on the regulator should work to keep them charged up, but remember that it is only rated for 50 amps max 12V...

I would absolutely love to have hydraulic, but it's really not in my budget, which is why I ended up with the electric when I did.

Did a little looking online. Couldn't find any brush assemblies that actually list any dimensions, but amazon has some brush assemblies labeled for 45mm center and 8-20k winches. Chinesium, but milemarker doesn't build the electric ones themselves so probably comes from the same factory as all...

Less than a year, and only a couple more uses, and it happened again during a recovery. Winch worked great the times I tested it, but once I actually needed it it only worked for about 5 feet before losing power and stopping. Haven't taken it back apart, but going to assume it's the brush...

In the main page for generator threads at the top right there should be a button for "Post Thread" that will open a new page to start your thread I've been here a long time so not sure if that is something restricted on new accounts or anything like that. If you can't see that button, then...

As this is an issue with a different unit than the thread was started about, you need to start your own thread. Every issue with every different unit gets it's own thread unless directly related, that way you get advice specifically for your problem, and nobody gets confused about what info goes...

M1097 is the heavy variant. The R1 series designates this was part of a recapitalization program that upfitted lighter truck to the heavy variant. If your truck has a 3 speed transmission use M1097A1 in the manuals. If your truck has a 4 speed transmission use M1097A2 in the manuals...

Shelter rack got removed. Yes, there is a little gap between the top of the fender and the SECM body. With my BEOD (same basic body with different interior setup) there was a strip of foam on the bottom edge to seal that gap and keep dirt/debris out. The gap does allow for variations in HMMWV...

Have you tried spinning the cable from the gearbox end to see if the speedometer needle moves? The usual culprit for a non-functional speedometer is the little metal pin going from the plastic gear to the right angle adapter at the gearbox end of the system.

Once you get the hang of it, using a ratchet strap is actually pretty easy all things considered. I keep saying it over on the wheel and tire shop thread, but buying some tire lube will make your life a LOT easier when removing or installing the runflat and the rim. Without lubrication you'll...

if you are strictly on road/near roads, in other words not really taking it away from improved roads like the jeep trails, then it's entirely your choice. You'll get opinions that these are death traps without some type of bead lock, and others that say they've run without them for thousands...

Unfortunately once you have it as an off road only title, getting it changed is a total pain in the buttocks, especially in this state. A few years back one of the guys here bought a 5 ton that came with some messed up paperwork because of the death of the previous owner. The State Patrol...
