    I went back and bought the truck

    The small sized solar panel is for de-sulfating only, but very important in keeping the batteries in good shape. The truck appears to be in excellent condition, with the winch, hard top and heater. You ought to come down to the VA MV Rally over the Labor Day weekend. And you should study the...

    AM-1780A schematic needed or help with resistor R73

    A long time ago, I had a stereo system that blew a resistor on one side, so I was able to look at the corresponding schematic for the other side and figure out what the value had been. When I replaced the resistor, I used four times the wattage, but the same Ohm value. Never had any more problems!

    AM-1780A schematic needed or help with resistor R73

    I did find a PS Magazine warning about trying to use VIC-3 parts in a VIC-1 system - it kills the control box.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    It is possible because that way the soldiers coming through the chow line would not have to make their way through a screen wall to get onto the MKT. Two of the intermediate screens would be a better choice IMHO, but putting one on in reverse (shifted) might not work as well as just using the...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Noticed that the second MBU in the video is a 100, not a 103. Heat range on it will be a bit narrower, esp on the low end (20K BTU/hr vs 11K BTU/hr for the newer one) so it may need to be set lower to keep an even heat on the griddle. Noted that you have the new griddle (MKT-99 upgrade).

    Almost bought a truck today

    The turbo adds FIVE HP to the engine (134 to 139) but cleaned up the exhaust to satisfy the EPA. Now when you get into the LDS engines meant for the five-ton's, they have the turbo and a lot more power out of the same block, but there are a lot of different parts including the block (Thick Deck...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Oh, and don't let the burners run too long without close supervision. I have two 15 gallon pots that have been patched (before i got them) because the burner was fired up and the pot was empty, and melted a hole in the bottom. Griddles can get warped also from too much heat. Using the...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    At one time there were six in private hands in Columbia, SC. Dave, Mitch, Adam, me, MVCSC, and Chris who moved to New Mexico. I've sent out about two dozen of the MKT USB drives. Two fellas in Quebec had three between them. Timntrucks had two, Wreckerman swapped his to popabear and I think...

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    No dates six months out and I may not make it at all. I already have another event scheduled for Oct 22-25. Some people who still have jobs had to commit to vacation day plans in January or February - for them it's too late for 2020. My advice for 2020 - If you don't have something firm by...

    New deuce owner seeking advice

    If the truck has the air shift front (switch in the cab) and not the sprague, AND you don't need all wheel drive, the different size on the front and rear will not matter very much, if at all.

    Backup requested.

    Then you should be on the backside of the weather situation going through the South right now. Safe travels!

    MKT-85 Teleflex BP100 MBU Battery Module, What Batteries to use

    No idea. I have not actually seen the inside of one, only the drawings in the TM. 8-10 years ago I passed on buying them, in part because I had one of the cables that allows the voltage straight from the truck slave port, and in part becuause I almost always have a generator and shore power...

    MKT-85 Teleflex BP100 MBU Battery Module, What Batteries to use

    TM 10-7310-281-13-P says the complete battery pack weighs 93 pounds complete, the procedure for changing the batteries is in Work Package 43, in that WP it says each battery weighs 35 pounds. NSN for the battery is 7310-01-454-1249 and a quick Google search shows Teleflex as the supplier...

    Dry Battery 6135-00-926-8322 ?

    Replaced by the PRC-77, which uses the same battery. Main difference between the two radios is the final RF output uses tubes in the -25, and transistors in the -77. PRC - Personal (man carry) Radio Communication, VRC - vehicular radio communication, ARC - aircraft radio communication, etc.

    Licensing/Registration Bobbed deuces

    If you look at my sig line, you should notice that I have six deuce-and-a-halfs in SC. Yes, they are registered as 'property carrying' (weighted tags), but unless you plan on carrying large loads, so what i did, and register them at a maximum of 18,000 pounds. That would allow a regular deuce...
