Ooooh, with a gun ring even! [thumbzup]

I'll look for some of those Bosch switches to try. The double pole one looks promising for CUCV applications. Thanks!

I don't think that is correct. The switch is not dissipating the full power of the circuit, and in this application it's generally not going to be opened under load. As long as it's rated for use in a 24V system, the current rating should be the same for that service. I've used those before...

A reading of 23.2 volts while the engine is running indicates that the alternator is not charging; it'd be up around 27.6 volts if charging correctly. A broken ignition-to-alternator wire would certainly cause that symptom, so that might be your whole problem. Consult the TMs and study the...

Here's an attachment of the photo I linked to earlier (the link still points to a higher-resolution version). I like rrrr's installation. Nice and neat! I'd probably add a ground wire rather than relying on the hard top's interior straps, but I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy when it comes...

LOL! I hope it works well, and I'll give you a call if I buy 99 more generators. And given my weakness for buying toys, I can't definitively rule that out. :mrgreen:

Here is how I installed one of these lights in an M109A3 with a soft cab top. I no longer have this truck. I got it from Bruce Kubu, and it's the best looking MV I have owned so far. Full sized picture is here. I'm not in front of a computer where I can resize it for attachment right now...

Thanks! I found the manufacturer's web site. Is it available in small quantity through distributors?

Good idea! I'll give that a try.

Nice job on that truck! I hadn't seen that kind of seat cover before. Did you use the "G.E.A.R Universal Truck Seat Cover" that is shown on the Smittybilt site, or one of the Jeep ones there? How would you rate the fit and finish quality of the LMC headliner? Has it held up well? Does it...

My house is a mobile, too (well, technically it's "manufactured housing" since it's bolted down, but it's still a doublewide). Lots of trouble with rodents in the crawl space. I should try mothballs under there, too. Maybe a crate of the danged things! Hmm, my whole house might end up smelling...

Thanks! I'll give the mothballs a try. I live in a rural area, and have constant problems with rodents in my equipment. I've also read about folks using pure peppermint oil as a repellant, especially in spots where the mothball smell would be offensive. How often do you need to replace the...

I bought a Racor filter kit on eBay not long ago to replace the leaky original unit in my M1009. I haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I don't expect to miss the heater here in Southern California, and the hand primer pump looks like it'll be a nice feature. The thing is kinda big. If it...

Is there a source for bulk floor mat material of the same type that is used in the HMMWV floor mats? It looks like a dense foam with a textured plastic skin on one side. The skin is green, as all things should be, but I suppose that black skin would be fine if the green stuff is custom made for...

I have an MEP-003A genset with the Acoustic Suppression Kit (ASK). The ASK is an insulated enclosure that wraps around the genset, and quiets it down enough that you can approach to within 10 feet before putting on hearing protection, rather than hunkering down in a bunker a mile away crying...

I tried cleaning up the contacts and the zebra strip, but it didn't help. If I recall correctly (it's been a few years), the contrast was all screwy and the row drives didn't all work. So I could see stuff that looked like satellite tracking status, but not well enough to actually read anything...

I've come across a PSN-9, but I'm not interested in selling it, as I'm a bit of a GPS collector, too. I even work in that industry. My PSN-9 appears to function, but the display is bad. So, I can see signs of life on the display that make me believe that it is seeing satellites, but I can't make...

Welcome aboard! We're all looking forward to seeing pictures of your new truck!

Woohoo!! :jumpin: rofl [thumbzup]

I've seen it recommended in another thread to get extra caging bolts from a truck shop prior to a pick-up. Do truck shops usually carry an assortment of caging bolts? If I wanted to get a spare set of bolts for an M923, for example, what would I ask for? I'd imagine that a random truck shop...
