    What antenna do I need for 450MHz?

    Like I said. For the range with some gain this is the one. Not the Milcommoguy for nothing, CAMO

    New to hmmwv's, trying to figure things out to get the right one

    Going to be a bit hard to tell with the "blow by"check. Cold engine, possible CDR valve removed, engine hasn't ran in month...years?? I would look for... and It's a crap shoot🎯... WAIT light cycled before start, a quick cranking cycle to running, oil pressure comes up and holds around 40...

    New to hmmwv's, trying to figure things out to get the right one

    Sounds like you have / are doing your homework. Not going over the top, plain and simple... Which IMO is the smart line to take. M1123 gets all the goodies to do the job and keep up with most traffic. Top down in summer best way to cruze. Who can do that in a picky up truck, LOL If I was...

    Unknown red switch under driver dash

    Someone when to a lot of trouble to fit that up in there. Looks a little fishy. I don't think the wiring harness supports one there. Tug and pull to see what's on the other end,CAMO

    Need help with Packard connectors

    Somebody say proper tool ?? Here's a picture of my tool... Note the 4 little crimping widgets at the center putting the squeeze on the pins. If careful and proper technique, soldering can work in a pinch. What's in your tool box? CAMO

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Little heads up... Gauges or sender can be flaky, more important check over ALL the connections. Power and especially grounds. They are a three wire circuit, power, ground and sender. A balancing act of electricity...so to say. Resistive change is just a few Ohms from 0 to 33 more or less...

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Who changed the Sender with What? 🤔 Rule of thumb(y) 10 PSI per 1000 RPM hot. Little more is better. Way more, something not right IMO. Screw in a mechanical gauge to be sure. Military electrical ones not always so good. That's one tight engine, CAMO

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Also note that the spacer is used with one and not the other cradle. Just saying. In my set-up... After fussing with this brackets, alternator business, I used the long one to the block. Running the 60 Amp just made more sense not having to deal with exhaust heat /rusty bolt issues. Right...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Engine cover turnlock fasteners

    Drill out the old and replace with new. Two little spring clips seems like another weak HumV design. Not an escape hatch, CAMO

    Old style parking brake- pad replacement

    I wasn't changing pad. I got the image he wanted to ditch the old school emergency brake crap? (cant believe...yes I could, he doesnt have the up-grade E brake system. Maybe I figured wrong... first time this week. My bad. I note: that just pulling the old disk rotor is a problematic. It...

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Sorry about the bad PN. Had it marked ??? Now that you say that... the HD one has a tab on it for PS hose I think. 🤔 Don't make me go and look LOL IMO... If trying to tie into the exhaust bolt "again" I would hunt down the HD support strap. Those angles to the exhaust are a little off for...

    Old style parking brake- pad replacement

    The way I did it was to mark the outline of the U-joint yoke in place on the disk. Unbolted and out comes the disk / rotor. Over to the plasma table and cut and save the center. Touch up on the grinder and back in...Done and DONE. It is a centering spacer now for alignment to the U-joint and...
