There is another / option heavy duty bracket (like 7/16 ? inch thick) that mounts below the exhaust to a boss on the engine block. Might look into that set up.
Something is ?? out of round / balance. Might check for a cracked mounting cradle too.
Shake, rattle and rip, CAMO
REAR SUPPORT...
There's a lot of steps and skipping and sliding here. Funky HumV dance moves 💃 LOL
WAIT led is dumb with no feedback to CPU. Only operator / driver as it says WAIT dumb :poop: before start. Good plugs and timing cycle would follow thur. Operator would just crank it over... till that cold...
Offer expired. Thank you for participating. Please forward valid bank card number for next contest drawing.
HAHA Nice to see somebody is paying attention. You are ahead of the class, CAMO
Wayback look up.................
Lots of new... well old Hmmwv sales and ALL the problems (FUN) that goes with them.
Electrical issues can be a bit to chase down. Can't see them little excited electron running around. Your excited too, with a new and NOW DEAD HumV in the driveway.
To help one...
Yes... the 571 is the control lead to turn on the WAIT LED. This is done at pin "E" cab harness to box. Internal CPU logic pulls this "low". Don't worry about it... UNLESS your connector is all wacked up. Another clue to BAD BOX..
Look it over good. Use a common sense approach, checking off...
Leaning... LEANING..... WAIT when the bill comes for a good new set up, LOL. Check each glow plugs for 1.5 to 5 Ohms. Replace open ones first.
Would like to know what you find on these "GROUNDS" before the magical ground kit. Check the ground behind the dash with doggy house off. Little...
Not an expert here... But that could be normal as the certain alternators act that way. (which one do you have?) Did you ever check the glow plugs resistance... all 8 of them?
I am not sure we are communicating well here. LED checks good, fiddling around, only 6 volts, then connects to...
Time for a new one. To investigate... peel back the plastic and look for the coil wires to have the enamel burnt off. Shorted winding/s is what we are looking for too. To check measure the resistance and verify against the book.
Yep, that's got to go, CAMO
If you need one, I have an old IP...
Is that NOW QUOTE "when I connect to the the engine" Well.... What's that tell you? When you get the goofy 5 volts, where was the meter ground connected? This could be a clue?
Don't wait...build it. Some owners have experienced "failed grounds" and swear by slapping on some wires...
If your meter is grounded to engine and #27 has 5 Volts... need to figure that out IMO. Same as brake LED SOOOOO.... Wassss UP ⬆. Might want to check the Packard connectors and the crimps to wire inside. How about all the grounds. Everyone needs a ground kit ???
Time to get this fixed...
Watch out using the flow chart troubleshooter. Portions were written around the old Protective Control Box PCB. Those"glow plug controllers" had bi-metal switches (hard contacts) and the TSU's are solid state (electronical) YEP that's what's in them. Those readings may / will be off if...
These are the shorter, solid stick antenna with the rounded tip. Special flat plate like base with "N" male in center. 4 hole, standard mount. Here's some pictures for the gang.
When you get it figured out ... don't fo get my commission 💰, CAMO
If it was ME... this is the one to have for...
There you go. Anyone with a Sitemaster should have this figured out.🤔 Run the plot and report back.
The design is not a chop and tune to see what happens. It is a coaxial collinear stack of elements, sealed in the fiberglass radome whip. Won't be any tuning, but we have used them...
420 to 450 MHz. VSQ/1 antennas all part of the same system. If you want the gain in this design range, IMO these are the ones. Going for a wide bandwidth is going to have reduced gain to the negative in most of the "military" models. That and the use of diplexer/s or splitters. Most...
Wayback machine... 20 years ago when Murphy Surplus was selling them "cheap" picked up three of them. Coupled up to Motorola MCS2000, 420 to 450, 40 watt rigs. Uses a male "N" connector. VSWR flat across the band and exhibits 4-5 dB gain as published.
AS-3449/VSQ-1 Darn near unbreakable...
