    PE-77 250W Genset - Is it worth anything

    That is the power supply for a mil radio. You need to get some feedback from some mil radio people before you do anything with it. It might be worth its weight in gold to the right collector. Or like you say it might only be good for a couple of light bulbs. Just depends on what system it is for.

    Experimental Deuce?

    Don't forget the sales tax they will probably add. I bet they will have 14 to 15 in it before they get it home.

    Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs

    RE: Cannon catalogs Thanks for the link. Your company has a way above average site. About the only criticism I have is not having a link to download the whole catalog in one file. I did order paper copies, but would like a pdf of the whole catalog. I guess I am a pdf pack rat.

    best kind of batteries to use?

    You would have to have one sure nuff dead battery to not light up the dash light, but if it was that far gone the answer is yes. Each alt dash light is isolated to its respective battery and alternator.

    best kind of batteries to use?

    The last truck I got from GL had one hawker and one standard 6tl in it. It also had no alternator belt. When I put one on it was putting out 40 volts. Put two batteries we brought with us in and it was still putting out 40 volts. I was able to recharge the hawker but the other battery was...

    what is this??

    It sounds like a m215, the dump version in the M135 line. Does it look like this? http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m215.php Sounds like a bargain if everything is pretty much original. The dumps are pretty rare. Of course condition is everything.

    That is amazing.

    best kind of batteries to use?

    Forgot to mention that low voltage is bad for the starter. Not the worst thing you can do to them, but bad none the less. Low voltage will make them overheat quicker if I remember correctly.

    OD Iron AC

    I would love to see some pictures of the install. Do you know if that is all of the instructions that you get? He has 4 pages posted on the above link. No mention of the condenser or its mounting.

    best kind of batteries to use?

    I would go with group 31 batteries. the trays were made to fit the group 31 or the 6TL size. I would find out what is making the lite come on first.

    Another M1009 lead... should I bother?

    I would say 3500 to 3900 is about what an extra clean, no parts missing, titled, running M1009 is worth. It is not to uncommon to get these form the military with the floor rusted out without much rust anywhere else. It comes from not removing the rubber floor mats like the MWO told them to...

    Need M1009 Parts help

    Move everything over to the good post. You don't have to have two. Otherwise I would use one of a parts cucv. I doubt NAPA will have one just like it.

    CDR valve from NAPA questions and other tune up questions

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: CDR valve from NAPA questions and other CUCVs have different emission requirements than civi trucks. They got an exemption or a rating as heavy trucks or something like that. You might try the biggest civi application that you can find that had the 6.2 in it like a step...

    Deuce + Shelter = Camper RV

    RE: Duece + Shelter = Camper RV It is nice to see a military one with that type of A/C on it, but I have always thought that would not be a good location if you did much off roading with the rig. The one I just bought has a piece of plywood were I think an A/C probably was. It is reinforced...

    Trucks at Smyrna, TN

    RE: Smyrna and Shipping Costs Do you have an appt for 5/2/08? That means they have gotten off of the every other Friday schedule or does it? I expect my EUC to clear this week but I won't be able to just take off this Friday without a little planning.

    I don't think it matters except the obvious big on big and little wires on little posts.

    How to count to 14...

    I think I would make an appt to pick it up the first day both of you can be there. I wouldn't involve higher ups unless the local guy refuses. You will usually get an email at the end of the 14 days with a threat of the default fee if you don't get it in 7 more days. Besides, if they only do...
