    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    TKS gimp. I like the 6-48 VDC with no other mods needed to use the bulb. It would solve a lot of potential problems down the road. I have tried using some regular bulbs for the gages with a higher CP (wattage) but they run way to hot and so do a number on the inside of the plastic lens

    Dash Panel LED Bulbs

    Just wondering if anyone has tried these bulbs in the dash of their M35, M800s etc. vehicles. I am thinking about buying some to check them out. My only concern is will they put out the correct illumination required to illuminate the gages. I suspect they will work well for the high beam, front...

    My new M220 soon to be camper

    Hey!!! He is one very nice uncle person. I did not know the truck was a secret. Anyway sounds like there is a pole barn in your immediate future. Just remember to make the door/ceiling at least 12 foot. Mine is only a 10 footer and it causes me a lot of pain to let my M8109 sit outside all...

    help with starting without Starting fluid.

    Glad you got it to start in a reasonable amount time. As I mentioned above I am willing to bet that most folks using a flame heater that cannot start their M35A2 trucks when it is cold have a flame heater that for whatever reason is not working correctly. I have seen just about all the...

    freewheel axle flanges

    Jeff I have not had my hubs off of the M818 yet and it is way to snowy and cold to go out and remove them at this time. Questions is: "Does it look like there is enough space/metal in the hub to add a thin ball or roller bearing?". If possible I will do that and put a zerk in also. As soon as...

    Who has installed a block heater in an A3?

    I am planning to add an engine block heater in my M35A3. Has anyone added a Zerostart #3500015 unit?

    freewheel axle flanges

    Jeff have you done this mod yet? Did you put a bushing or a bearing in the hub? If so what kind of bushing/bearing did you use?

    help with starting without Starting fluid.

    You really need to know just how the pre-heater on the deuce works before you try to use it with the engine not running. You can read up on it in the manual. The data plate on the dash is correct do not run the pre-heat without the engine turning over. And to use ether when running the pre-heat...

    battery cutoff on negative wire

    Point taken. You are correct that if you forget to turn on a negative ground battery disconnect switch and the truck added equipment is in the on state, then hit the start button bad things can happen. The current the starter wants to draws will flow through any wire path (the turned on...

    battery cutoff on negative wire

    You are correct doghead if the chargers have a floating output. If they do not it might get interesting as then you would have one point on each battery at the same potential. Most newer chargers have floating outputs. There are still a lot of older chargers around that do not use floating...

    Converting Grote LED lighting to 12v setup

    This worked for me. Just posted it a couple of weeks or so ago. All part numbers are there to do a complete 12/24 volt trailer. I just love the search functon. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/83237-m101a3-dot-lighting.html

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    A leak would be bad. Unfortunately it looks like soon to be a $3000 loss should the 600 gal tank leak. That will really put a crimp in a lot of our MV travels I bet.

    Good deal Kenny. I will be looking forward to the pics of the tire hanger.

    M101A3 DOT Lighting

    I believe that tire and 12 bolt rim are the same ones used on earlier HMMWVs. As to the use of the tire and rim on a CUCV I would search or ask the CUCV forum.
