    GLA Invoice

    FYI I just got my invoice mailed over now from yesterdays auctions.

    So it works - anything I may have forgotten?

    Great spot to be in! What I would ask myself is how prepared am I to run this for an extended duration? Do you have all necessary consumption parts (oil filters, oil, air filters, glow plugs, etc) to run X amount of hours (this figure is only determined by your needs)? Do you have any spare...

    GLA Invoice

    Yeah give it a day or two. I also snagged two gennies yesterday through those chaps.

    MEP-803A frequency cable

    Well I feel pretty dumb... the alternate unit seems to be dimensionally equal to the first unit I bought... only its the cross drilled hole (for the cable) that is smaller. The OE cable had a little metal slug welded/soldered into position on the cable.... any other thoughts? I really dont want...

    MEP-803A frequency cable

    Welp... tried to finally install the cable (has to be shortened by about 6' if I haven't said this already)... the cable stops above dont fit into the governor control. I just got a pair of 1/16" from the same company on order. Hoping the OD is smaller, so they fit (even if I might have to drill...

    What pumps did you buy? Got a part number and manufacturer name?

    Tier 2 Reset Question

    Edit: There is an AMMPS over at that big E auction site if you look for MEP-1050. I always forget they get their knickers in a twist when you link to them.

    Tier 2 Reset Question

    Out there in very limited supply.... way too rich for my blood (and even more to fail in my opinion). Ill take 6-8 TQGs over 1 AMMPS

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Great shot... thanks for this. My 803A has what I believe to be a stuck or an otherwise incorrect fuel reading. Good to see the inside as I DO have Moutain Man Dean forearms. I can at least approximate what the linkage is doing now based off of it. Thank you.

    Mep 803 exhaust pipe/extension

    You should also consider putting a rain cap on the top of the pipe (example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017LXW7E/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_1_w) but sized for the appropriate stock you use (I didnt check the sizing on that link... it was for illustration purposes only).

    Mep 803 exhaust pipe/extension

    I would say it depends on clearances (like a wood stove chimney). You will definitely need to fab up a pass through box (or find something for a pellet stove and adapt it) so you are far enough away from combustible materials. YMMV

    Mep 803 exhaust pipe/extension

    You can use regular black iron pipe for this (its an NPT fitting). I forget if its 1" or 1.25" off the top of my head, but you just need a BI coupler and whatever length you want to extend the stack by.

    MEP Sizing Help

    Rent (or borrow?) a trailer with a rear gate. Take a heavy chain and make a big loop through 2 of the 4 tie down rings... hook that to your vehicles hitch (or ATV hitch or other) and just slide/pull them off the trailer. The aluminum skids they are on will more than take it... Good luck.

    WoW!!! just got a quote for a new 96-23569 or nsn 7025-01-467-4709 display/ mep-805b

    WoW!!! just got a quote for a new 96-23569 or nsn 7025-01-467-4709 display/ mep-805b

    Its a part made by L3... not shocked at the sticker price (I sell products to L3 across the world to aid in the production of these screens, and hundreds of other products).

    MEP Sizing Help

    This is power backup, and not main power right? You should be able to use a 10kw in any sort of emergency situation, and you might be temporarily inconvenienced by having to either load manage, or turn off heat while you do laundry or something. Probably your best scenario for both cost and...

    Homemade Load Bank

    I am going to be lifting this idea for my own build, but doing it slightly differently. For those interested, you can source 5/16" female terminal connectors (to match the male prongs on the heating elements) here...

    Best way to tell when power is restored?

    I bought one of those Reliance units on Amazon a few months back... any day now I'll install it. Got my father-in-law one as well (I refurbed an 803A for him) and he has already put his in, and said it works perfectly.

    You should consider framing that facebook message window so you can hang it somewhere important in your home ;)
