I haven't done the R3 adjustment procedure; I have experienced the same problem on literally over a dozen sets over the last year or two...so I am assuming that it is more of a design issue with the breaker than an adjustment issue. My thought was that if I could fudge up on the setting a...

I don't have a clamp ammeter...its something that I should add to my toolbox. I do have an older oscilloscope and several good DVOM's (but none are data logging). So, I haven't monitored the current on the loads yet... Both sets start smaller motor loads; portable air compressors, my cement...

I have been tinkering these sets for a few years; I currently have three -002A's and two -003A's in my shop. I have noticed what I believe is a design problem common to all of the machines, and I'm wondering if anybody has insight or has gone down this path before... The main breaker seems to...

picked up a set of spin on oil filter adapters from Westfolk a few weeks back; finally got around to installing them last night. A large number of filters work with these adapters, but I went with the Napa 1831's because of their 10 micron rating (filters better than the 26 micron factory...

picked up 32 fl. oz of methanol today and mixed it in with 5 gallons of water (roughly 5% methanol), filled my tank and flushed the lines. There was no noticeable seat of the pants power difference, but after several runs up the hill, the truck was able to pull a few extra MPH with the meth...

I knew somebody would ask this eventually :beer: I know that lots of people lament the quality of their deuce brakes....mine seem to work better than most. Right after I put my 395's on, I tried a few practice "panic stops" from 55; basically got to a deserted stretch of pavement and mashed...

Water/Methanol injection Got my water/meth injection system installed this afternoon; probably have about 6 hours of work total into the project. I mounted the 5 gallon tank under my flatbed, and flush mounted a fuel cell filler cap in the top of the bed. I have to climb up there to fill it...

Getting ready to plan the plumbing for my hydro steering setup...I have a 5 ton Vickers pump in my hands and have a question about it. Before I take it apart I thought that somebody here might be able to answer my question... There are 3 ports on my pump; a larger suction port, a smaller...

jesusgatos, Hey, BUILD IT! With some time, $$ and effort, you can make a safe, stable system that works well for your application. Looks like a lot of people have posted in this thread who have had no experience with hydro steering... I have driven heavy trucks, rock crawlers, and street/trail...

:mrgreen: I'm going to be about $1400 into mine, complete with shipping, by the time I'm all done. Here is the filter/reservoir kit I'm using: LINKY Some $$ could be saved by using a single ended cylinder, homemade reservoir, and cheaper cooler. But I'm betting that it isn't possible to...

The water injection is a universal kit by AEM I purchased from Xtreme Diesel; here is a link to the kit: AEM Water/Methanol Injection for Diesel, Water Methanol Kits for Turbo Diesel My goal with the water injection is to drop my EGT's a couple hundred degrees and get another turn or two on the...

Ordered all of the parts I need for my hydraulic steering conversion today; they should be here next week. That project will likely be on the back burner for about a month, however...lots of other household things to get done first :???: The Fedex guy delivered my water injection kit today as...

I know this is a year old thread, but I have a MEP-006A I am parting out...do you still need any parts?

Did the brake light flash give it away? :shock:

Hydro steering in the coming months :beer:

I haven't driven the truck long enough to get a fuel economy number. I'll post it as soon as I have a feel for how much (or if) it changed. My EGT's hover around 700-800 degrees at 55 MPH on flat ground. They climb slowly (over about 30 seconds) to around 1200 degrees if I keep my foot on the...

Quick video of the car crush:

Your voltage is right in the range of a "normal" 12v system; if it makes you feel better, take the voltage off of a battery in a passenger car/truck while it is running. It will also be in the 13.4-13.8 volt range. My battery equalizer in my deuce works perfectly; I use it to supply a small...

Crushed a Ford Taurus tonight with my deuce; I put a training dummy in the driver's seat and then just ran right over it :driver: I would have liked to crush it more, but I was afraid that some training value would have been lost for the guys on my FD; it was enough of a challenge to extricate...
