    M1078 jump question

    Sounds like your saying the Isolator would just stop things on the side it was backward (be it the 12 or 24v side) leaving the one that is correct still working? Thus in some respects may not be quickly noticeable. Jump was tried earlier. Am diagnosing "after effects". Not got whole story...

    M1078 jump question

    Old guys who are pretty confident at mechanicals........get older. Confidence stays...... yet age starts sneaking in bad decisions anyway. So it is bound to happen to hook up 24v any which way like farmers use too (polarity correct) . Lot of older folk like MV's! Looking at one to help fix and...

    Towing LMTV via Ibis bar

    when towing an FMTV there is glad hands for towing brakes. Agree on appropriately sized Safety chain(s)/strap(s) . Not sure if the Ibis came with them but most assuredly if not; should be added. So that solved main question is where is the weaknesses and could they be reinforced.

    Towing LMTV via Ibis bar

    Question is could a competent welder reinforce the Ibis bar to avoid the failures. If so....... what areas need reinforcement? Maybe add a safety chain so if it came apart all it could do is run into your own Arse?
