I wasn't going after you or anyone. Seeing that you might be NEW here...MY MISTAKE. I just pointed to many of the sad stories and headaches other have experiences. IF I make a connection with new owners and help them in their quest, then that's a good thing. Everyone do your thing.
You are...
Lately and my crossed eyed observation. 100 Hmmwv sold a week. One can make a good deal at auction... BUT one need to be careful and it still can be the luck of the draw. Were all big boys... I got that.
Hobby has many facets. Win, wait and drive it (bad idea imo). Win, wait and drop it...
Don't know Texas... But I have watched utubes of a shop named Precision Transmissions in Amarillo. Seem like a "good oh boy" re-builder. Kid gets into it too.
What ya think of that operation, CAMO
The last lots sold in August and current are the larger panels. (600 or so units sold to date)
That is a boat load of 24 volt panels. Will be fun to see how this pans out, CAMO
200. More like 600 slold in the last month and another 150 plus on line.
Don't plan on them being cheap. Average unit price +/- 50 bucks on 150 units. 6-7 K bids. Give it a week or two and 150 clams on the auction sites. Now that will chap one buns, LOL
In it to win it and make a killing...
????? Butt need a bump ?? Or did you mean a jump? My truck has a working alternator so no humping, bumping or jumping. Got one of these too.
Let the sun shine and good to go, CAMO
It's the short service time that worries me too. Yes, HUMV's require one to be on top of all the parts. With all the knock off parts in circulation, it pays to pay a bit more and not having to do it over again. This is why a REAL good going over after receiving a 25 plus old truck is...
I think one will find that the back side is encapsulated (a bitch to work with) If one looks to the left front of passenger seat on the tunnel...I would bet there a big hole ready to go right to the batteries. Maybe not. Anyway sound like one as it all dialed in.
Power to the HumV, CAMO
Mulit-tasking at the moment. Got you guys on the computer and the queen going on the tele. As soon as they slam the lid... I have to get to work.
You would be supersized how LITTLE profit there is. Tax, parts, labor, supply chain, headache pills, etc.
Buying a HumV is easier to slip...
Not sure what you may be connecting? Most consumer products are likely 12 volts so that's not going to work here. More thought and research needed.
The connector being military grade likely going to cost more than its worth. Current requirements for the items in question, likely more than the...
Monday morning quarter back 🏈.... AC tap only feed the controller. No connection to ICE-STE, not available there.
Heck of a job to tackle. With the RayGun all thing can be Slayed, CAMO Good Luck (y)
DO nothing. You won't be using the not so smart box start box ??? so the AC signal is of no use. Not sure what alternator you are going with? Could just use that wire to get back to the dash and install an alternator fail idiot lamp.
Lots of work to save a buck, CAMO
