Mike, How large before you use the 2/0? I have that sitting around but it would be overkill in this application. I thought about putting tin on the ends and that is what I might do. Down the road I might hard wire it if I add in an auto start/transfer kit.

I am preparing my 803A for service and my plan is to connect a 15'-20' flexible power cord extension to it for connection into my outside power box, which feeds my main. I am looking at using Carol wire jacketed SOOW 4/4 stranded power cord which is rated for 60A. My question is, will the lug...

Anyone running mixed fuels in the 80X series successfully? Generally I find that newer diesel equipment can't tolerate what the older stuff can.

Here is a photo. Looks like if the rails and front box were taken off it would not take much to make it a flat deck.

I think the Tan is 686. Any idea on the code for the dark green?

Anyone know where to buy the green paint used on the MEP-8xxx series engines, and the Tan paint used on the outside? I guess I prefer a rattle can for touch ups.

Thinking of taking my MEP-803A off the M116A3 trailer which leaves me with a trailer that I am unsure what to do with. It is very nice so I hate to see it sit. What are these typically worth when sold? What else can you do with them?

So is the towing speed on these really 20mph max or can I tow it on the highway?

Yeah, yeah and the photos...

Just wanted to thank everyone now that I am back home and am a little rested. I estimated high on the diesel and what I bought was only $2.41 - 2.59 a gallon as I made sure to fill up where it was cheapest. Total fuel cost was 149.00 I needed two quick links to get the chains hooked up and the...

What does reset mean for everything besides the engine? Anyone know the test protocol and how they decide what gets replaced? In regards to the alternator, is there any special test or are those remanufactured as well?

It was reset in 2010. Currently 11hrs on remanufactured engine but most I see are like that (reset).

Thanks Mike. My trip is going to be 1200 miles round trip but worth $220 in fuel for what I paid and got:) Any idea how high the hitch was from the ground on your rig? How many hours on the generator?

I found a pintle hitch at my old mans which puts the bottom inside ID at 20" off the ground, and I think I might roll with that instead of buying new.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Can anyone confirm the inside diameter of the lunette ring on these trailers? The hitch I want to have expressed shipped by tomorrow says it works with 2.5" and 3" ID lunette rings.

Think I will order 2-5/16" because I have another trailer that size. They must make the inside space the same on both. I will take some power tools just in case since I will have plenty of power:)

It would likely rip off the locking mechanism of a standard hitch if it was down.

Do you know if your ball is 2" or 2-5/16". I dont know if it matters because they likely space the area for the hook the same on both. I could be wrong..

And the guy said I needed a drop pintle. I would say at 25" you need raised unless your truck is lifted. My reciever is 17.5" to center.
