Guyfang My apologizes for jumping into that thread. It sounded like the same thing going on with my gen. Again, I do apologize.

I'm trying to do the same thing. One of my steps was to unscrew P6 from J6. I have a PU 802A generator that when I hold the main switch it shows 120 volts and 60 Hz. When I release the switch to let it run voltage goes down same as the Hz

Good morning!! I'm looking for a BI-Annual Service Work sheet for a M1075 Palletize Load System. I have found Annual & Semi Annual, which both are different services. Would be appreciated a Bunch. Towbarman

I tried to find an NSN for the door and handle for the MEP 802A. The part number is wrong. The door handle doesn't come up with right NSN or Part number. The number I have for the Door is: P/N 88-20198, Handle: NSN 5340-01-379-0893, P/N S79SDTXXSXXXX. Never seen a part number like that one. Any...

Afternoon One of my coworkers has an issue with a MEP 802A generator. He describes it like this. Cranking and starting but half the gauges not working. Pulled voltage relay, checked, swapped. Now generator will crank but no start. He rechecked all the other relays, all are good. Any help be...

Good morning gentlemen. I say that loosely of course. I'm reporting back on my issue with the rear markers and the middle rear marker lights. It has been a hassle chasing wires. I stared from the back where the markers are. I checked the power of course, taillights work, 4 ways work, but still...

Good morning My issue is, I have power to my headlights, turn signals and front amber lights. I have rear taillights and blinkers, but no power to the rear red marker light. I took my multimeter to check for power and nothing. Checked breakers seems to be okay. What is my problem. Thanks, TowBarman

Good afternoon Towbar here again for another question to ask. On our service sheet, it has service the 2 air tank check valves and the front emergency gladhand check valve. I know I have units that don't drain their air tanks after they drive them. When I go out and check the tanks, moisture...

As of right now the truck does pull either way , and the steering wheel is waaaayyyyyyy off center too. I'll probably be the one doing the string test due to the young mechanics I have working here. Thanks for information.

Needing some information/ good advice on how to do a wheel alignment on a 5ton M1083A1P2 cargo. Unit wants it to drive straight with the steering wheel in the right position. Thanks Towbarman

Morning to yall I have a M1151 with coolant in the transfer case. What would cause this to happen. I only know this issue from my mechanic/ inspector. My thought was to change out the T-Case instead of the transmission or would it best to change both out. Not sure how long the fluid has been...

Coachgeo Thanks for the help. I wish I could use the generic o-ring kit, but the o-ring on the piston is a square type. I'll keep looking online or get a hold of other item manager. Towbarman

Yes, I was talking about the hydraulic over air cab latch. I looked at the attached photo. That's what I need. Apparently I didn't see the part number for it. If there is a part number, I'd be happy like a pig in mud. Thanks for the information.

Trying to find a rebuild kit for any of the FMTV's instead of buying the whole latch at $400.00 a piece. If there is a TM that has the NSN, I would be happier than a pig in mud. Thank. Towbarman
