On the VIC-3 Lite, do you have to make a complete loop of the system. If you have just a two man setup, could you just run one highway cable from the station out on the MCS/L to the station in on the FFCS/L for it to work or does it need to be a loop back around?
Or from just the station in on...
I am looking for a VHF antenna that can mount to the standard HMMWV antenna bracket with the spring base that will work in the 100 - 170 MHz range or so. Most of them are setup for the 30 - 88 range. Any suggestions? Thanks
I want something with the spring base.
I have one of the Saudi HMMWV's with a Gichner Shelter model GSS-1497B on the back with the generator. It did not come with any sort of manual. It was setup for 220V as it was going overseas. There is an outside hookup point for shorepower with some switches, that I am not really sure what...
Does anyone know where we could go to sell a bunch of M114 parts? We bought a couple of them several years ago and received pallets of parts that we don't need.
Thanks
I bought a complete kit of cargo cover staves and bows advertised for a 5 ton M939 series. I also had a couple of other staves on hand. The staves I received are longer approximately 54" but the ones in the TM show about 45", part number 7372781. Which are the correct ones for the 5 ton?
Thanks
I have VIC-3 setup with a military radio utilizing the correct mounts and cables. I am using Peltor Comtac headsets with the bailout cable and PTT. The intercom portion works fine between the headsets, but when you hit the PTT on the cable it will not key up the radio. The radio does key up...
I have a MEP-803A generator and trying to figure out how to wire the military pigtail to the lugs, which wire goes where. I know it depends on the configuration you want. I am looking for a single phase 110V. I believe the pigtail has a black, white, red, blue and green wires.
Thanks
I have a nice condition MEP-804A 15KW generator that I am having issues with. First off we have to jump it every time, so I know it needs batteries. However, when we hook up the jumper cable it starts fine, but when you release the starter switch it stops running. Any ideas?
Thanks
Does anyone know if the VIC-3 intercom system is compatible with the older style radios, i.e. RT-524 VRC-12 setup? I have mine all hooked up and just get a ringing feedback noise when switching to the radio to monitor.
Thanks
We have a M114 project we are working on and are trying to get the front torsion bars pulled out. These are proving to be very difficult and we cannot get them to move, even with heat. Just wondering if anyone else has experience with M114's?
Thanks
I am working on a M114 project and we have the TM 9-2320-224-25P which is the general parts manual, but need more info on the transmission which is a model GM (Detroit) 305MC. The parts TM for this transmission shows it as TM 9-2520-245-35P. I am specifically looking for either this manual or...
I have a like new, very low hour unit MEP-816B. This has the CIM display. I am getting a fault code and it will not stay running. Any ideas how to access the fault codes on these?
Thanks
I have a nice MEP802A that will be trailer mounted for portable power. The manuals are kind of vague on power distribution and connections. I see there are military power distribution boxes available and various cables. I am trying to get a picture of how one of these would be wired up and to...
Has anyone hooked up a M934A2 to shore power, military generator? I see there are the external connectors, just trying to figure out how to wire to a military generator.
Thanks
Does anyone have information on the S-788 Shelter for the HMMWV? I am looking to find out how to get auxillary power to the unit, how it hooks up to the HMMWV, etc.?
Thanks
