    Balancing the 53" XZL tires?

    yes they do. several revs per second. If one is badly out of balance it can beat you to death.

    Actuator, Air Fan Clutch for M923a1

    This reminds me of a funny. We were having the 5-ton "before driving the truck, check these things" training and the engine was up-idled at about 1000RPM to warm it up, and the 2LT was standing right next to the thing, hood up. He was commenting how it was a lot quieter than the old 5T. His back...

    speedometer -transmission adapter-extender assistance

    That is a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Too direct I guess! I have to anyway change the adapter due to the 0.73 overdrive.

    speedometer -transmission adapter-extender assistance

    That is to say it is not long enough to reroute. I got to say I was at first concerned about the new t-case being a little off-center and the shortie driveshaft ftom the trans to the case therefore being at an angle, but there has been no issue at all, whatsoever, the shaft and joints run no...

    speedometer -transmission adapter-extender assistance

    yes, but see how the cable is kinked? It is not long enough to reach all the way to the t-case, I need to extend something here so it is not forced against the t-case like that.

    speedometer -transmission adapter-extender assistance

    After changing the M-818's transfer case from the Rockwell T-138 to the Rockwell T-1138, the speedo cable is not quite aligned. Can y'all look at this picture and tell me what I have here? It appears there is an extension on the t-case going to the speedo adapter. As can be seen, it is a...

    M939 series transfer case low range / front axle engagement

    If you want a really hard time shifting the case, try installing it in an M818 and using the short throw shifter. It is almost impossible. I'd like to know what to do to 'fix' the case as it is super-hard to shift.

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Thanks for posting this and using a descriptive title and for explaining why it works. Although the info's been generically posted in one form or another as an answer to various questions, its much easier to find it as a topic. That is important!

    HOMASOTE A really great product. I did not know about its insulating properties. There's a video of how it is made.

    Pinion Brakes

    I would like to see a pinion brake video on a test track/strip with a major braking incident from 50-60 down to stop. I wonder if the rotor would glow bright orange or only dull orange. It's a nagging question. Inquiring Minds. I'd think about it as an extra "parking brake" but never as part...

    Please don't be this guy(pics inside)

    I built such an adapter. It was crosswired to allow one to put 12V brake.turn lamps (the bulbs) in an M105 trailer. The 12V version of the bulb has the high and low pins reversed from the military 24V version. It was in the end less costly to buy a set of towing lights.

    military antenna for a AM FM radio ?

    I don't know, they are not common. That is why I mentioned the HF sectional stuff. Try Haney Electronics, "haneyelect" on eBay, remote chance he might have one, he's got all kinds of other stuff. ""

    military antenna for a AM FM radio ?

    No, its a couple of time lapse frames in the commo truck during a mission, so one frame was entering data on the computer and another was with the mike keyed relaying information. I would never have a stroke on duty and on camera because that would make the unit look bad. I did my duty and...

    CB Antenna Website

    What kind of noise? popping/buzzing that varies with engine RPM - spark noise, Usually MV splugs and wires are shielded, maybe yours had problems there. Ignition noise is always an issue on CB. I use a noise blanker for it on a car. whining noise? maybe the alternator or generator -- try an...

    military antenna for a AM FM radio ?

    How about the AT-677/VR ? It is a VHF antenna about 5-6FT tall or so and ought to do well for AM or FM radios. The base is like a ball mount. SWR won't really matter for an entertainment receiver and a pic. and the SWR chart I made covering 126-173MHz is here...
