    help please M1008 electrical system

    Welcome to the site. Do you have access to an electrical multimeter? If so check the leads on the back of the voltmeter for voltage. If the proper voltage is there (24VDC nominal) then the meter needs to be replaced. If you cannot read voltage at the existing voltmeter leads then the problem...

    Cannibalized while waiting for EUC!

    Yes I can open the link and I can see the pictures you posted. That is a nice setup. Low hours, sweet. I would definitely push GL to do something, you have one picture that clearly shows the filter housing was there.

    Deuce Brake Light Operation Question

    Sorry that should have been "thousand-one" as in a count of one second when both lights go off. The first thing I am going to do is pull the wires off the switch and jumper them to verify the electrical circuit is good. If it is (I suspect it will be) then I will remove the existing switch and...

    Deuce Brake Light Operation Question

    DieselBob, thank you. The brakes seem to work fine. I do not notice pressure dropping when I apply the brakes nor hear any air leaking. When I release the brakes I hear air venting (I assumed something had to be done with the air pressure in the air pack when the pedal is released). I will...

    Deuce Brake Light Operation Question

    Way back when I checked my brake lights. Momentarily press the brake pedal and the lights light up. Good to go. Last night I came home after dark. After passing through the gate I hit the gate opener button to close the gate and I pressed the brake pedal to use the brake lights to help me...

    getting it home

    Check to see if your state offers temporary transport tags. Make sure all is well mechanically before driving and have backup plan in case driving it is not safe.

    What can you do with a MV radio?

    The HAMs will track one down just for the sport of it then turn them in to the FCC. Their field days are all about getting out of the shack and operating for 24 hours out of doors. HOMING IN -- Radio Direction Finding (Radio Foxhunting, Transmitter Hunting, ARDF) for Amateur Radio and Public...

    What can you do with a MV radio?

    Transmitting on frequencies for which one is not licensed is not just an issue of annoying legitimate users, it is illegal and the FCC fines are stiff for willful violations.

    New Guy Radio question

    Most all radio frequencies in the US are licensed. You cannot transmit on them without the proper license and proper equipment (type certified). There are exceptions, the most notable being CB and FRS (still requires type certified equipment). There are other frequencies like WIFI, cordless...

    Just got a Deuce from GL...

    Save all of the pictures from GL and take them with you when you go to recover. It looks like a nice truck, some new tires, new fiberglass side rails and troop seats. The wheel chock is chained to the vehicle. The paint looks fresh. I am willing to bet you will find it in reasonably good shape.
