    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Chief, If you have any left unspoken for I would like 2 of the boxes of the CUCV weather strips. Enough for one vehicle is good for me.

    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Vacation is already scheduled, and I already have plans with Kenny to swap out the maintenance box on the 1031 and make it back into a 1028. I have changed my plans on what I intend to do with my soon to be newly re-converted M1028, so I will no longer need the 5 brand new 24 bolt HMMWV wheels...

    If you still have any I'll even take 2 of them. That's a killer deal!

    Mep003 no voltage

    If you did the 12 volt test as in the TM then the problem resides in the gen head. Probably the diodes as you mentioned earlier. There is a procedure in the TM for changing them. And Jim posted a thread above with several part numbers in it. But here is a quote from that thread with the part...

    Turn Signal Help

    Probably the sockets. The turn signal bulb grounds through the metal tab on the side of the socket, the one that bends over the top and runs down along the side of the bulb. Many times this tab will develope a hairline crack right at the bend. It is very hard to see, but will create a very...

    What to look for in a salvage yard but not want to find

    Don't feel bad. Last week while I was mowing the fields I cut up 3 of them. And after I switched to the finish mower and did the yard, a rather large black snake decided to sun himself in my yard by the one freshly mown field. I just gave him a little more surface area to sun.

    MEP002a Oil filter leaking

    In all of the filter kits I've sold, I've never had a report of one leaking. Putting the new square profile ring in is easy as pie, and once the adapter cup is in place nothing moves again. I've had my personal adapters in place for almost 4 years now with zero issues.

    What's the best multimeter to have in the toolbox

    I (work paid for it, thankfully $$$) just picked up a nice little toy for work. The machine I work on has a TON of 4-20 mA analog loops, and since we (myself and the other electricians I work with) can't stand to call the instrument shop when it's our job to fix this stuff, so I bought the...

    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    I do want to get a trailer also. I'm hoping to find a decent M101a3 within my budget. The bed is being taken care of as we speak. After the GA rally I should be driving back home in an M1028.

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    No offence taken, I love a good discussion and hopefully the other members can gain some knowledge from the things said here. Not arguing, but the next statements you made are just that, your opinion. Let me give you some facts. If you lined up 20 motors from the same manufacturer you'll...

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    Nobody is doubting your knowledge, ability or skill with AC systems. But you are just not paying attention to what I am saying about starting current. Starting current is the same as the motor rated Locked Rotor Current (LRA) which is minimum 5 to 6 times or more of the motor rated Full Load...

    MEP002 Starter lockout switch-how to disconnect?

    I think he is leaning toward the lockout switch because he is getting a non cranking condition. People need to be more clear about the issues they are having if we are to effectively help them. Non start and non cranking are two very different problems with two very different troubleshooting...

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    I think you may have missed the point of what I posted above. New or old compressor doesn't change the physics of the motor. I don't think your meter is catching it as it's peak. 39 amps at start-up is way too low for a motor or compresor that has a running load of 12 amps without some kind...

    Just in case you don't have a torque wrench scaled fo lb-in, there are 12 lb-in and 1 lb-ft. Just like measuring distance 12 inches per foot.
