    Connecting Power Cable to RT-524 Radio

    Are you sure the polarity and pinout is right? The power input is the plug in the corner of the mount. On the MT-1029 radio mount, pin B is the +27.5VDC, and pin A is ground. Use caution: "Source voltage polarity reversal is often caused by connecting the power cable leads to the wrong battery...

    DOD Special Agent wants to see my truck

    Geez I would not worry so much about this. Sure bring a nice friend along. Why not meet somewhere around lunch time and have a burger? Or if at your place, be hospitable. The guy is just trying to do his job, probably wants only to verify the truck and the serial number and then will be off to...

    road trip to Howards

    I'd really like to find a pair of those headlights as used on the "millenium deuce".. The regular headlights on the truck do not annoy people enough. Please post pictures of stuff there if you can! I was fouled by rain :(

    How noisy are they, BTW? (previous experience with military generators and lack of sleep/complaints from whining liberals..)

    MEP 952 diesel generator

    After speaking with Mr. Shirley, he assured me the units have all been tested and are good. The engine is a single cylinder diesel of German make. He believes it is 1800RPM as he didn't think it ran very fast like the 3600's. He quoted me $750 each. I have inquired about freighting to Texas, two...

    Pyrometers, options, mounts...

    I ended up with 1/3 total turn (2 flats) and run 850 or so on the highway. Get to 900 on hills, it's hard to get it any higher, so I should be in the safe zone. If as you say putting it closer to the turbine exhaust makes the temp indicate higher than it is, I am in good shape. My main goal was...

    Camper/Motorhome Conversion Thoughts

    For sure install a decent size 24V cable and a DC circuit breaker preferrably the magnetic type for lowest voltage drop. Nortex Electronics has the good used standard electronic equipment mount type ones for cheap, in sizes from 5 to 100A or more. I used #6 wire for hot and ground and a 100A...

    Installing a "conventional" gas-burner into a 6X6?

    Buddy at "Howard's" has a good 427 or 454 chevy BB engine with the correct looking bellhousing sittin in his shop, says a fellow had it in an M35 for a while till he could get an multifuel engine then pulled it out to install a multifuel. As I understand it. Interesting concept since the 454...

    road trip OCT 22 through NOV 05

    That's always the issue with GRC-106 gear, the size and weight. Once in place, it's nice as you please, but moving it is a pain. When I first installed the set in the shelter, I lifted the power supply onto the M35 tailgate myself, but now a few years later.. heh.. I got some help getting it...

    Camper/Motorhome Conversion Thoughts

    I seen your 109 and it would make a fine camper. It's nicer and cleaner inside than most I seen. You got rails on the inside to attach fixtures and tabletops to, and lots of room. I could have room if I were willing to get rid of the workbench on the drivers side in the S-280 and I'm still not...
