That M809 series is looking so TUFF! I would be interested to know your turbo setup. If you have a post about it, if you would send me a link that would be cool of you. On my M813 I am only doing 55 since that is the highest speed the tire is rated for. I have caught myself hitting 58 a few...

Can anyone find the actual Rockwell part # for the Detroit Locker for our 5 Ton Rockwell Top Loader 5 Ton Axles?

I have one to install on my M813 for a winch, someday that is. I got a set of gaskets, 2 in the bag, I was expecting to tighten it in dry and check the slop and then add or remove a gasket. Thanks for the pointer on the thickness.

Looks killer! Nice find for sure! I also own a M813. Unfortunatly even after having it for two years almost I am still short a working winch and lockers. Best wishes on your rig. Here is a link to my build thread if your interested...

Hello All my Brothers! I will start off by saying that after spending some significant time now reading through SS threads, I am impressed how helpful and genuinely concerned our mentors here are. Every time I have been needing to understand something better I have found it here. So Thanks to...

After watching these guys do dives and climbs and all kinds of maneuvers out in the open desert, it gave me some confidence that they could actually be quite dangerous to anything they didn't want to be nice to. Was cool to behold.

Here is my first video on Youtube: Simple drive in the middle of no where. The previous night was just mud everything. Amazing how the desert just sucks up the water. M813 6x6 Driving in the Desert

Good to know! I am considering flipping mine and mounting my winch about 8" higher up on the frame to keep the lateral guide rollers up out of harms way. I will pay a bit more attention now that I know this is the case. Thanks for the knowledge that only comes from those... "Oh... that's not...

I have all three of the generators working good now. Had to replace all the fuel lines on all of them and Vuala! Making noise and a bit of electricity! Took one of the little guys with me out on our Utah MV outing over Feb 1-3. Was great! Should have taken a bunch of pics and vids of wheeling...

Even with my rig working very well, I am always leery of the breaks. I am always looking for a way off the road etc.. just to make sure if there was a problem that I wouldn't hurt anyone. Dual circuit is a very important mod for these trucks. I am still interested as well.

Superthermal, tossing in my M813 Updated the pic with a wide image rather than a phone cam version. Hope that is OK.

Were the lines you replace on the injection pumps 1/4? The Fuel return is 3.5mm, but this hose looks a bit bigger.

My MEP-802a is leaking from the shared fuel rail rubber lines supplying the fuel injection pumps. Looks like 1/4" line, But appears to be a bit of a pain to change with the external crimps on the lines. What size line do you use for this? Whatever size lines they are mine are leaking all over...

Measured the LOP switch and it is open with the unit not running. So bad. Thanks to @kloppk and his amazing referencing skills I was able to find a LOP on EBAY for a reasonable price. The Broken off breaker lever on the main circuit breaker... WOW $160 bucks... Hmm I will use a screw driver to...

OK, Both units are fired up. 1st one was a bit harder to get to started. Once running it ran smoky for about 1-2 min and then was clean and ran strong. Saw a few sparks from the exhaust (dust catching fire from what was in the muffler... :oops:I hope, LOL. Put a 60% load on it and ran fine with...

Great video. Good advice on all points of checking this. Thanks for the assistance. I'll post back when I have them running.

I did see that video last night! The one on how to prime the fuel system. Thanks for the excellent reference. If the injector pump is stuck... I didn't see that referenced in that video, is there somewhere else to see the work around for it?

Hello, I have Two MEP-531s that I just purchased from GOVPLANET. So far I have- New-Fuel Filter New-Air Filter New-Fuel Lines Verified tank is perfectly clean. Replaced padding around the fuel tank I have some new 15w-40 T5 Rotella that I will be using for crank case oil. My questions are...

Picked me up two MEP 531a 2Kw generators and a MEP 802a 5Kw on a trailer this week. Drove 1700 miles to the two GOV planet sites to pick them up. Ordered some air, oil and fuel filters for them thanks to the guidance of the nice TMs and threads here on SS. Will be making one of the 2Kw units a...
