> Bruce, Negative on the gear reduction Delco being used on the HMMWV's. They use monster Prestolite units that look like they should be on a deuce with the exception of the drive end. Don't worry about the CUCV's wiring/relays with the gear reduction unit as that is what the military got from Delco for their most recent replacements. Robert Anderson
