I need voltage help from anyone who can explain this. Today I finally got the truck registered & decided to go for a drive on some dirt roads. I flipped the lights on so that I could have blinking turn signals. Later at home, a neighbor stopped to tell me that my lights were on. I thought...

Here is my lengthy & detailed install of 12 volt & 24 volt alternators, batteries, fuse blocks, cutoff switches, & 12 volt wipers: The problem: Driving home 600 miles through a winter thunderstorm in a just-purchased Army truck, only to realize the wipers don't work. As you can see, my wife...

I didn't start the the truck last weekend. But since there is no digital radio/clock, ecu, or other obvious drain on the system I was not concerned. Today I went out to crank it and the batteries were dead. What in the world is connected to these trucks that makes the batteries drain so...

I finally opened up the hood today. Is the oily pipe sticking out of the bottom of the turbo supposed to be like that? It kind of looks like some kind of hose should connect to it & take something bad somewhere else. There seems to be an awful lot of room in that general area. Am I missing...

This trailer is awesome. I saw it on one of the recent threads. 1-what's the name of this trailer 2-is it street legal? 3-is it a pintle hook or a 5th wheel? 4-if 2=yes,where can I find one?

Okay, my used scissors jack assembly came from Crysteel today. It is basically everything I need for a dump bed. Pump,control,reservoir,scissors w/dual action cylinder,prefab hinge, PTO driveline, & hoses. Everything's sitting on a pallet. The problem is they didn't cover the ends of the...

Is it possible to flip a single-output PTO shaft going to the winch to face rearward for a PTO hydraulic pump? I am aware of the dual output PTO's but I can't find one for a reasonable price. A future tranny swap that I really want to do will probably force me to use a hydraulic winch up...

I'm just curious why all the dump bed conversions notch the top rear of the frame. It seems to me the bumperettes are pretty darned beefy. They're already bolted on in roughly the right place. Why not permanently weld them to the rear crossmember & use them for the hinge attachment for the...

Does anyone know the max hp/torque the stock A2 transfer case can handle? I ask because I want to add hydraulics in back & keep the winch up front, meaning I need to spend the $$ for a rear output PTO. For reasons I don't care to get into, I plan to use a telescopic hoist instead of a scissors...

Would the Saginaw steering box from a Hummer fit on the A2 as a direct bolt on, or is it too small for the truck? It just seems to me that upgrading to power steering shouldn't be that difficult. And there are aftermarket Hummer kits already set up for Ram assist. Just curious if anyone knows...

Is there a Chilton or Haynes type manual available for these things. I downloaded and printed the entire 400+ page operators manual. Basically it can be condensed into one sentence: "If you notice anything unusual, notify your supervisor" I wanted to see how this air assist braking stuff was...

Greetings, This is my first post & I am very much a newbie. I might buy an A2 this week & drive it home. From what I've read here you have to let the truck warm up 5 mins for the turbo. Plus you have to let it idle 5 mins before turning off, also for the turbo. What do you do when it's time...
