    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    Description didn't do it justice. Here's a more accurate description - Sounds fine at idle. Won't go over 20mph. Falls on its face and dies. Full throttle wasn't reaching the throttle stop. It was only going to 2000rpm in neutral at WOT. Adjustments made. It now reaches 2300rpm in neutral at...

    Oil pressure NHC-250

    Here's my understanding and speculation- Pressure distal to the filter is higher than it was prior to filter changeover to spin on. It wasn't bypassing before. Presumably the old filter was full to the point of restricting flow, but not to the point of bypassing the filter. New filter isn't...

    Generator Newbie Seeking Real World Experience and Feedback on MEP-805A vs. MEP-805B

    I'd be tempted to split it out into two or more loads. This way you only have to run as much generator as you need. It also allows for some redundancy of capabilities in case of failure. One genset failure won't deprive you of heat and light ...

    M931A1 or M931A2 questions

    Your first paragraph, that combination of features isn't plausible. If it has the NH250 then it is an A0 or A1. It never had CTIS - that's only found on the A2s and the hubs are different. Differences between A0 and A1 are minimal, aside from the wheels and tires. The truck almost...

    Generator Newbie Seeking Real World Experience and Feedback on MEP-805A vs. MEP-805B

    Too big for the application described....an invite to wetstack. A MEP803 should be overkill. Got stuff to run that you haven't mentioned?

    Buying a humvee off of gov planet

    If he was buying it for a toy, then I'd agree with you 100%. What he wants is dependable primary transportation that is safe in a crash. A HMMWV just isn't the best choice given those requirements.

    Another M116A2 owner here

    Swap positions with the ECU and genset? Tongue heavy is good. Tongue light is badness. If you've never experienced it, you'll only do it once....

    New to the MEP-802a

    Bar it over by hand once before using the starter. I dont think the starter would bend a rod if hydrolocked, but your hand certainly won't.

    Just purchased an M54A1

    Those wheels are 939series combat wheels. They can't be dualled, nor is there a reason to want to until you go really really heavy. It's almost certain that you won't go that heavy with a standard 14' cargo bed. The 14.00R20's won't safely fit on the original lock ring rims. The Mack version...

    Anybody ever see one suck air into the fuel *here* ?

    Not yet. Not my truck. The guy is out of town til the end of September, and getting the IP rebuilt probably isn't high on his list of priorities even then. I'll update this post when its resolved, one way or another.

    M35A3 Tire pressure Opions

    The tires themselves are probably rated 110psi or so. The wheels and o-rings are rated 65psi if I remember correctly. So 65psi is the max that tire/wheel/o-ring can be inflated to without exceeding rating of some components. Maxing out pressure reduces rolling resistance and maximizes tire...

    M35A3 Tire pressure Opions

    If tire life is the only consideration, then I'd run them at 65psi until/unless I saw the center of the tread wearing faster than the edges.
