    MEP 805b mystery coolant drain tube

    Found the answer... it is for the water drain on the fuel filter. seek.... you get a gold star for correct guess. I have looked page by page thru the manual and it doesnt say or show where it connects to on the other end, but for those that need to know, it connects to the coolant drain...

    MEP-006a troubleshooting

    I have found that the MEP 805/6 troubleshooting tree and schematics are lacking also. They show now wires connected to each other, they just show a bunch of components but no wires between them, specifically the IP solenoid. But generators have been notorious for not having good books to go with...

    MEP 805b mystery coolant drain tube

    That was the only logical place I could make it fit also, I wanted to check to make sure there wasn't something I was missing. When I filled it with water, no water gushed from that side of the motor so at least there was no petcock missing or left open that I could not see. Now the task of...

    MEP 805b mystery coolant drain tube

    I picked up an 805b this week, trying to put it all back together to test run it. I have a mystery coolant drain tube on the right side of the motor that I cannot find where it connects to. The manual only shows coolant drain lines on the left side of the motor. Can someone point me in the right...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have always liked having the spare tire already mounted next to the one that blows out. The other 8.... 9 incuding the spare should be here maybe next week after they come back from getting caps.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Availability of tires. I can go to any tire shop/truck stop and get a 11r24, if you blow a 14.00/20 you are at the mercy of SS or an excellent luck of the draw of the tire shop having a road grader tire. Ask 98G, he knows all about blowing 14.00s and trying to find them on the road.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pulled the 14.00/20's off the front, dropped some 11R24.5's in their place.

    Shipping Rates for HEMTT per Loaded Mile

    That is more than fair, considering fuel is .50/mile, insurance/IFTA/payments/repairs/tires/oil changes cost about $1.40/mile. Oh I forgot feeding the bears, that is figured in the 1.40.

    Howdy from East Central Oklahoma!

    Welcome for the panhandle, even though most of OK dont believe we actually do exist. hahaha

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    Well the math would be correct.... 1 truck= 10mpg, so logically....2 trucks= 5 mpg

    M923A2 filter part numbers help

    Heavy Zip ties are something else to carry. Fuel cut off solenoid throws a fit zip tie it open. Brake pot blows a diaphragm, cage the pot and fold the air lines over and zip tie them. Loose a bolt out of the mirror bracket, zip tie it.
