    MEP-802A revival

    Fixed my alternator today. It had a brush wire that came unsoldered. Borrowed a solder gun from a good friend, and fixed it in about 5 minutes. Re-installed the alternator, and it charges now at 20 amps and shut off charging at 28.0 volts. I did find parts for the alternator at...

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    Couple of questions: Can you adjust the metering pumps to match one another without a load on the generator? Or should the procedure be done with, say 50% load or more on the generator? I checked mine with the engine warmed up to 170 deg F water temp, and both exhaust ports were within 10-15...

    MEP-802A Need Help with fuel leak

    That is your fuel supply line to each of your fuel metering pumps. The small skinny line that comes from your injectors down to the fuel "rail" is the return line, for unused fuel from the injectors.

    Air leak from Fan Clutch Actuator???

    Sometimes depending on how it fails or sticks, the shutterstat will pressurize your cooling system, causing the truck to puke coolant out of the radiator cap. Just replace it. You do not have to drain all of the coolant, just about half, which is 5 gallons.

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    Adjust the fuel metering pumps so that the exhaust ports match in temperature, and that the load is shared between the 2 cylinders? Or balance and blueprint the rotating assembly.

    MEP ground rod kit/slide hammer info

    Thought I would share some info I found with the recent purchase of my MEP-802A. It has 99% of the BII, to include the slide hammer, and the copper ground rods. In the tool box I found a paper tag with the info of mfg for the ground rod. I assume they make the slide hammer also, but not...

    Mep 802 battery tray

    I would love to have some optimas, but couldn't afford it right now, and all of my mv toys take 2 batteries each, then combine that with my construction machines, and I am too scared to add it all up. But I will have some optimas, along with a pair of those trick aluminum hold-down brackets in...

    Hardtop on now some issues

    Take the top half off, and leave the back on. Place crosstie or 4x4 underneath, around the edges, to elevate the top. Apply pressure to the inside with people, or wood blocks and a backhoe bucket or skid steer. Go easy and slow. If this doesn't work, then I suggest a trip to a body shop. I...
