I built mine to put a controlled load 78% to 120% for break in.
The ease of controlling with a load bank is the best way IMO
Thank you

I would look for a old ac air handler. Modify with the 3 20k heat strips each on separate breaker. Use the blower, remove the coil. I have seen a libby load bank on ebay awhile back for 900.
Almost pick it up. But it was more k than I needed.

Great, I haven't try to remove the one on my 803a yet. Not sure I want to :( I will definitely take in concideration everyone experience here. I have destroyed some oil filters that have been over tightened before with the same results. I now AWAYS start high on the edge where It is...

I did purchase an mep803a. At the time purchasing I thought the four cylinder was a much smoother operating machine. it's a little over calculated for power demand for these big power available military units. was debating whether to go back to a 5K 802 or just run the extra load. In the...
I reviewed some of your videos I believe on YouTube. you're running them that without any load, that's not really recommended correct
Thank you,

I your opinion does the 1040 run as smooth as the 803a? I have not seen a 1040 in person but videos I've seen looks as if there is more vibration on the 1040.almost like the 802a.

Looking for anyone's thoughts or opinions based on these two different units in terms of functionality and configuration and durability.

Where your batteries are look pretty easy to get to a lot better than under the passenger seat those are a real struggle to get in and out

Run the JD plus break in oil up to a 100 hours just like all the previous post described you'll be good. run it hard under load 75% to 100% make it work during that hundred hours.
