I have finally collected the cables/components for installing a mx-7777 into the mix for use with a vic-1, and some auxiliary power needs in the old m998. Anyone have suggestions as to a good location for this monster? The power to battery cable is 10', and the power to radio cable is 5' -so I'm...

6.9 does not tell you how to remove anything. It just says 'remove'. that was my point. You think I didn't read that section too? "Pry spacer" with what? "Remove retainer" with what?- how? You've missed my point- you and I already know how ​to use the right tools, but the TM didn't teach you...

The TM won't tell you HOW to do it. This is a huge misconception on this site. It just shows you the exploded view, and assembly/removal order. The TM's are full of usefull information, don't get me wrong, -read them- but instructions that ultimately read like this; "Half Shaft Removal. Step 1...

theres a keeper ring you cant see on the end of the shaft. place the shaft in a vise, and find something to tap the cv joint past it with. this second pic shows the cv removed from the shaft, but you get a look at the smaller keeper ring on the end that you are trying to slide the cv past. the...

Can one of you fine gentlemen kindly point me to a downloadable link for Tm-11-5915-223-12? Spent the last 2 hours searching, my eyes are tired. Doing research for install of MX-7777 voltage suppressor. Thanks all.

Actually, I stand corrected, (gladly admit I was wrong) I went out and looked at the tie-down label that is on my trucks dash (lower passenger side) and there is no mention at all about using those brackets for rail shipment. I've seen them used like that though. Also, it is obvious that General...

Oh yeah, there's no doubt that the shackle was primarily used as a freight-train, flat-bed shipping tie down point- (just like the badge says if you still have one on your truck.) I've seen them used as such back in the '90's when long lines of hmmwvs were freight-trained down from Indiana to...

I'd guess field remedy. that was from a field manual- not the -10 TM all the old warhorses are bustin yer balls about though. stay safe buddy!

Actually, I'd like someone to show me where those winch/shackles, >>ahem<< "whackles" are described at all in the -10 TM. I could be wrong though... Skrilex was just askin, whats the big deal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00g8pslE2MQ

Flip a jeep and let me know how it goes as well...

This is the power cable for vic-1. Looks to me like it says "4/14" on the black outer. So, 14ga.- 4 strand I'd assume.

I do not know. Testing for this would be a little above my pay grade, lol. But I'd be willing to try if someone wanted to walk me through it, or is this just a specification of the vic-1 unit that I could look up?

I have the vic 1 power running straight into the battery(ies). Where would you put another ground on the vic unit? Should I find a power conditioner setup similar to the one used on a sincgars radio tray? If so, anybody have nsn or part info for one? thanks again.

I have recently developed quite the rpm "whirring" noise through the headsets of my vic-1 setup. Its a high pitched noise that follows the rpms of the engine, like old AM radios used to do. Pretty annoying to have that drilling sound in your head while driving. I have the aftermarket grounding...

Got the last of my vic-1 setup installed, and operational (fun waking up all that Vietnam era gear) - 4 headsets, 1 hand mic, and 1 loudspeaker.

I have yet to see the fan come on at all ever (but you may be right in that it is on and I don't hear it.) Except when I disconnect it from that control module, then it defaults to the 'on' position, runs just fine. I have previously installed a new thermostat, so I'm pretty sure coolant is...

Well, the snow was a lot of fun! The Hmmwv drove like I kinda expected it to. I spent the day trail-driving through about 12-16" snow in H/L and as long as you kept rolling it was just fine. It took awhile to get used to the understeer in the deep stuff, lower air-pressure helped this some. I...

As the biggest snow-fall of the year rapidly approaches the Chicagoland area (I'm in NW Indiana but still...) I'm real curious about other, more experienced hmmwv operators (notice I didn't say 'drivers' because I believe you operate these trucks) advice/experience with the hmmwv and how it does...

Used one screw hole from reflector, and self-tapper for the other.

So I've read a bunch of the old threads on LED lights, which type, wiring issues, troubleshooting, ect. ect. My question now to the Collective Brain Trust (CBT) here is - in summary- it seems to me that if you replace one set (turn signals, or headlights, or such) you must in turn replace ALL of...
