You can barely make out the coolant in the bottom of this module, I'm guessing that it isn't recoverable. The plan currently is to work on the engine speed management side as well as the rectifying unit so that DC output can be achieved. From there, replacing the invertor can be handled using a...

Ok, so as I mentioned it had a couple of bits and pieces installed in the footwells of the rear passenger and drivers side seats. These two liquid cooled modules have two functions. The first takes the three phase output from the generator head and rectify the output to high voltage DC. This is...

A few more shots of some of the bits and pieces.

Ok, so a quick thread regarding this HMMWV I purchased back in January. Took about 2 months for clearance of the EUC, and then she was trailered up to me in Northern VA. Not a bad looking truck overall, just the unusual bits that the OBVP units were equipped with, namely a 30kW permanent magnet...

Yep, that's ours, bought from govplanet on the first go around. We have cattle, land and barns, so it has room to live!

So this part I get, and I've driven manual transmission vehicles for an eternity. What I can't sort is how someone inches the vehicle forward for tight maneuvers if don't use the gear select pedal like one would a clutch. Pulling away is quite simple, although it is possible to stall it I've...

Thinking of adding two other vehicles to the mix as well. Have a line on a nice looking Fox, and a line on a Scorpion. Should be nice to add to the barn!

That makes sense, but to be clear, bringing the vehicle to a full stop in first or reverse with the brake doesn't hurt anything?

Ok, that's what I thought, so the real question then is how does one move the vehicle slowly? Say backing into the barn? If there's a torque converter between the two, then no issue, just use the brakes to hold it and inch it that way. I'm not 100% sure that works however.

Thanks Robin, I suppose the real question about the gear change is whether or not the pedal works like a clutch pedal, or if it is simply a gear change pedal? I think when I bought it from Todd he mentioned he knew a gentleman in Ireland that had one or did have one. Pre-COVID I was in Ireland...

Since buying my M977 a few years back I've developed a thing for 8x8s, and my new OT-64 came up for sale from Tank Town earlier in the spring. Had it shipped to my farm in southern VA, and unfortunately COVID has kept us away from the farm more than we like. It's in quite good condition...

Maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYX4mEyJ5kY

I reached out to Banks, we'll see if they want it. It's in the garage now. It weighs a little over 1500lbs the way it sits. This one is definitely a Cummins engine, I'm relatively sure it's a 6.7. It has a rather interesting intake setup, a huge marine type turbo amongst many other oddities. It...

Ok, it showed up today, it's rather odd engine. The majority of the exterior components are bolt on, and all made by Banks Power, generally all stamped Gale Banks Sidewinder Engineering or some variation thereof. It would also appear the engine may never have been ran, as the exhaust manifold...

Ok, still trying to get it delivered, updates to come!

Won this marine diesel engine out of Whitehall. Anyone have any idea what it might be? I can't seem to identify it. Appears to be a rather new design, common rail, 6-cylinder. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but some identification would be useful before it arrives.

Stampy, which fan? Mine only has the big giant fan, and I have had the thermostatic control on it fail, it's not a manual set of air valves.
