Would you also be over height with a conex on the back of the truck?

my maintenance does not start from zero and i always turn off the main breaker. Must be something wrong with your internal battery that stores the memory, all the units I have bought never had the batteries hooked up and sat in storage for 10 years and were still only a day off and all memory...

Just looking back at the pictures i guess i need to adjust the clock setting or I am just that good at traveling to the future and back

Getting ready for Winter started a little early tonight. Car Accident took out the power for about 3 hours. after about an hour i decided to break out the 1040 as i have never had it hooked to the house. 30 minutes making up a power cord and got it hooked up. As it wasnt 100 degrees or -30...

Driving daily does not mean its is good condition, i am 2 years in and still replacing parts on a 1997 that has 5000 miles on it. lots of age on these trucks and all the rubber parts are just old. be prepared to spend about $500 a month for a while

Its not that major to remove a panel or two on the ask kit. You will want to learn now anyway because sooner or later you will be working on the unit. even with 18hrs i would say sooner these units are pretty old. mine has 118 hours and doing the battery modification right now

I worked on the 531 some more today. i realized that a brass bushing in the end of the starter was broken and that was the original noise i heard clanging around. so i looked in the tm and it told me i had to remove the generator from the engine to change the starter which i was not about to...

So as expected things did not go well. i tried heat, easy out, welding a nut to the stud, everything i know of and ended up with an off set wallerd out hole, so like my solution or not this is it, i am going to cut off the head of an m6 bolt and jb weld it in place and use a nut on the outside...

See my original question

Its only an m6 bolt so that might work if it is small enough but thats some pretty small bits

I work on a lot of mep 531a units and it is very easy to break the fly housing cover bolts. I like to replace the rubber vibration dampeners when needed, but the one i am working on has a pre broken bolt. I tried last night with channel locks as enough is sticking out to try and spin it out...

Should not be any power at the slave since this unit can not output 24v unless its the mep 501a.

I have both instock brand new if you are looking to push the Easy Button.

Great upsale item if you are a Generator salesman or are looking ahead at a long winter and uncertain weather.

Sure would be nice to add to the sticky for the common filters list for the AMMPS units or just send one to me for my benefit.

not talking about the seats in the LMTV. talking about the rolling chair he had when fixing the air dryer.

Not sure how i missed this video great as usual, but lets talk about that chair. is that custom or one that could be obtained

Put a parts wanted ad up in the classified would be the best and cheapest way to get parts. Due to Cost Green Mountain would be my last choice
