I haven't had time to test anything yet but did look at it today and found the sticker stating "Grounding Safety Modification Complete" but it is silver on mine. I attempted to post a picture but couldn't get it to load from my phone. So if the mod is done does it still have 3 phase or will I...
Thanks, I will check for the green sticker. The phase selection switch wiring does not match the diagram on this machine. So I really have no way of knowing if wiring the rest by the diagram was correct?
I will check the field pos and neg, that was one thing I was unsure if there was a...
I recently purchased a MEP 016E. It was missing the voltage regulator. I bought the SX460 and wired it in place. I put in the 5 amp fuse as shown on one of the details I found. After starting it up, it was only putting out about 33 volts set to the 120V 1P setting. I tried adjusting the...
Ok so I got the EZ inch in and it is 2.5 inches and my springs are 3 inches. Kert, The guy on the tech line said that it would be ok and it fits either size springs. It seems to me that they would be hard to get straight without the ubolts being there to be against them. Anybody got any...
The ez inch is the what I ending up ordering. I am glad you mentioned what shocks you are using as I wasn't sure what I would need or if the stock ones would work untill I got more.
On the 1010, did you cut out the inner fender because that is where it makes the most contact on mine.
Fender Cutting
Here are some pictures of how I cut the fenders. It doesn't look the best but it does the job. I have smaller tires on it right now because I wanted to see how the tire would look on the truck shown in pics.
I have ordered the parts to move the front axle and will show...
I have not balanced mine, just put them on and they ride fine. Now before the 37"s I tried the 36" hummer tires and they rode terrible. I did try balancing and it was like you described. They did a lot better in the mud though.
I have only cut the fenders and added 2" spacers and my tires hit the back inner fenders when turning sharply. I was planning on moving my axle forward 1" with the zero rates but was unsure if that would solve my problem or then the tires would hit in the front? I know a lift would solve the...
Thanks, I had already looked at your build and my main concern is in how the steering will need to be modified. I understand the install of the part and drilling the holes in the spring plates. I just don't want to get that part done and not know what to do about the steering. I like the...
I have a M1028 with the 37" hummer tire & rim setup that I have been running with no lift, only trimmed front fenders. The tires rub when I turn too sharply but I have just been dealing with it. After seeing the 1" Zero Rate spring that a lot of people are using with their lifts, I though it...
You've put a lot of work in that truck. It looks good. I thought it was just going to be a parts truck when I bought it. I needed the tailgate, so I took it and then decided to see if it would run. What did you have to do to stop the smoking?
I have had 2 CUCV that I drove on a regular basis that the front battery would die before the rear would. The batteries were bought new at the same time and installed together. The first time it happened to was a M1009 Blazer and I had starting issues with it and I just thought that was the...
