    MEP-004A recovery, smooooooth....

    Ok, here are some pics of the install. Just need to connect the leads to the generator but I want to run it and test everything before hooking it to the house. Only real questions are the grounding wire connection. I purchased an 8' ground rod, tamped it in, and connected the generator trailer...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Mine was under the bottom board as well. I just moved the wires and cut the bar while it was attached. Had to lengthen the X8A16B from T8 to make it to T3 by a couple of inches.

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Here are some pics of the evaporator fan/box mounted behind the dash. I will be running some flexible ducting to the 4 under dash vents that will be installed later. Switches mounted in the dash for easy access. Fans blow pretty strong so with the refridgerant it will be nice and cool. Gotta...

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    So I am taking care of that leak at the front of the engine, def the front seal on the oiil pan, and I have come across some other issues. If I have the pan off to do new pan seals I figured I might as well swap out the oil pump for a new one and do the rear main seal while I am there. Took...

    Gadsden Falg stencils????

    Thanks for posting that DTOM stencil from milspec. That one is cool but I am more interested in the original style. I think what you and others said about going to a shop is the best idea. I'll be looking into this so I will post back with results. Thanks!

    Gadsden Falg stencils????

    Gadsden Flag stencils???? I have been trying to figure out what to paint on the truck doors for the duece and cucv for a while.
