The double filament/double contact bulb ie 1157 is 12 volt and commonly used for stop/tail/turn lights: the idea was to make the original lights compatible with civilian/street use. The 1669 or 1662 bulbs are dual filament/single contact, 24V and will only dimly glow with 12 volts applied. ALL...

You can easily dis-assemble the Military lights and install a double filament bulb socket inside.

Memorial day to Labor Day: anything in between is a bonus.

The Lunette eye hitch is removed by taking the two pins out (one for the surge brakes, the other for retaining the hitch itself) I'm going to Mill and weld up a duplicate that will drop down 6" and have a ball mount. that will put it level with a full sized truck and still utilize the surge brakes.

I bought one too and brought it home Thursday using a 4x2 Ford Ranger with the 2.3l 4cyl and yes it was "nose down" Samantha is really a cool gal. I work on Drum and am glad no one's had any problems (outside the butt-hold deep snow) Should I keep this one, and as of now the plan is to make a...

Most likely this has been posed before, but why aren't more of the M931 Road Tractors being "bobbed"? Seems to me you've already got the shortened frame and drive line making it an easier project for the less equipped/inclined.

Unless I'm confusing the M923A2 hub with that of a LMTV/MTV: I will look in the TM to see and post back.

FWIW: That number is an Arvin-Meritor (formerly Rockwell/Timken-Detroit-Axle) You are referring to the CTIS seals and not the Hub Oil seal?

The original isn't anything special, just need to make sure it has enough lifting capacity (I would think 500lbs to be sufficient) and it has enough travel and clearance to raise the tire up, then lower it all the way to the ground, and by that I mean flat to the ground; big a boy as I am, I...

That's 24 volts Direct Current in and 12 volts DC out. Another consideration: there are LED lighting manufacturers that make Stop/Tail/Turn as well as marker and tag lights that will work on voltage ranging from ~6VDC to 24, maybe even as much as 36VDC. might be a cheaper option, certainly easier.

I don't know what exactly to call it; bottom line is you put 24 volts in and get 12 volt out. Knowing why a plane flies isn't as important as knowing it does. The "Modified sine wave" comes off the manufacturers packaging; there is this thing with "dirty electricity" that's hard on electronics...

Actually, a Marine Supply store or Car Audio shop (forget Best Buy or Box stores that sell audio) and they can order you an inverter. Pyle has one with modified sine wave, 24VDC in 12VDC out 480 watts (www.pyleaudio.com) Couple 24V relays (doesn't really matter the design or style, but I...

You're welcome to pick my brain, but the pick'ns are slim. As for the trailer light converters: they are nice, properly though out, and well made. That said, one could easily make their own; all you need is a 24 volt step-down thansformer/converter

In the first few pages of the Parts manual you'll find something called "Use On Code" (UOC) that typically will be three letters that correspond to YOUR MODLE truck, lots of parts are generic to the vehicle, but in the case of changes, it's best to READ the line that has use on codes. Your code...
