I've got about 300 trouble free miles on the M998 since the sock clogged. New lift pump, new filter, everything is clean.
I drove it about 60 miles yesterday. 30 miles out, running errands, ate dinner and then came home. On the way back, it was running just fine. Fan cycling on and off like it...
Like many of us, i have a bunch of 24V military equipment and I don't want to buy separate batteries for all of it.
So I took a couple of truck batteries and put them on a pallet. I hardwired a 15' set of slave cables on 2/0 and a 30 amp Anderson Powerpole on a 17' white cable.
Anything I...
My M998 is currently dead on the side of the road, 40 miles from home. This is the M998 that's been all over the country and never had a hiccup.
I'm thinking the fuel filter is clogged. I don't know of a source of a replacement that I could get faster than late next week. (Any ideas?)
I've...
I've got an 802 with a bad master switch. (Tests bad. Power to #6, but nothing to #7 when in the crank position.)
I was pulling a known good switch off another machine. In so doing, I dropped a small copper piece out of the good switch (pictured on the floor next to it).
I can't figure out...
So recently I had the privilege of picking up a genset from Abilene KS for @Light in the Dark . A buddy and i were already going, and the plan was to simply add the genset to the load and drive the 50 miles or so and drop it at Fastenal and then go have a steak.
I had some pelican type...
I've got a 10kW DC APU generator with a HATZ 26hp engine.
I've jumped old chevys at the starter using a screwdriver, main positive post to secondary empty post.
The partition around the main positive post on this one seems designed specifically to prevent that. Maybe there's a good reason for...
I'm looking for a plain Jane mechanical transfer switch to be used to connect a MEP802 to a house for use during power outages.
The primary user would be a >70yo woman, when the power goes out.
I figure someone here has one they like...
Farmers in KS use 939series trucks as silage trucks. One of them had an alternator go bad last fall and needed one right then. I sold him the one off my M936A2.
So now I need one for me. I seem to remember there was an aftermarket option that wasn't terribly expensive and wasn't a particularly...
I don't have an 805.
I know some of the more advanced larger machines have on board resistance in order to artificially create load and prevent wetstacking. Is the 805 one of them?
In answer to my own question, it appears not. I was able to find references to 805s that have wet stacked...
I read through the troubleshooting portion of the -10 and didn't see this explained.
Here's what I've got:
MEP802 340hrs , runs fine when set to 208 3phase. Runs fine when set to 120v single phase. Convenience outlets work fine in both positions. No fault lights. Gauges wnl.
Copious black...
I've got an 802 and hooked it up to the house. Manual transfer switch. 50 amp 14 50 NEMA plug, 40 amp breaker. 6/4 copper cable.
Red and black to legs 1 and 3, green to ground, white to neutral. Phase and voltage set to 120/240 single phase.
Power on, contactor closed, switch the house to...
I've got a garden variety 2dr soft top M998.
I've also got the pictured mile marker hydraulic winch and mounting plate.
Presumably I need a couple of hydraulic hoses. What else?
Are there instructions somewhere in the TM for how to install?
Anybody changed the valve cover gasket on one of these? Got a part number or recommended part?
I've got black permatex. I'm thinking a solid gasket is probably better.
Edit - part number is 3905449.
Thanks
Can anybody pick up a safe in Groton and move it to a storage facility nearby or maybe the freight terminal? It's on a standard pallet and about 60" high.
@Suprman
I've got a guy that wants to jump 12V civvy vehicles from his M1009. He doesn't want to open the hood to do so. So I'm reinventing the wheel and making a 12V slave port, using an Anderson connector so that it will NOT be compatible with the 24V plugs/receptacles.
Any reason not to just grab...
I meant to win a truckload of safes and only won one small one. It's hardly worth the fuel money to go there to get just one - trip cost > total value of safe.
Anyone close by willing to grab it and hold it until my next trip? I don't expect free. Cheap would be nice.... In exchange for...
We've got a truck(M923A1) that's having trouble maintaining air pressure. It had a couple of constant leaks that we fixed, and several intermittent leaks (heisenbugs).
One of the leaks is the shutterstat. Fan is on. Whistling leak at the external vent port.
While obviously the long term...
On the hmmwv's military standard 2 battery system you connect positive to the positive post on the front battery and negative to the negative post on the rear battery (or frame).
On the military standard 4 battery setup on 939series trucks, connect the positive to the front left positive post...
