MEP-005 30KW Diesel Generator Military 2005 Rebuild 49 LOW HOURS
*Needs headgasket*
Up for sale is a 30kw diesel generator. Runs and produces power and load tested at 85% load. It is currently in 120/208 3 phase configuration but can be reconfigured to 120/240 single phase with same rated...
On my latest surplus generator the county completely redid the fuel filter system. I've attached pictures. Posting this for reference if someone wants to do it to theirs. It is on a MEP-004.
Just picked up some more generators (because I don't have enough). I have little reaponse on startup and no response when running with the frequency gauge. My digital handheld meter is saying 64hz out of the transducer and 64 hz at the mechanical meter, nothing showing on the meter. I have a...
Attached is all the manuals except one for the Polaris MV700. Recently purchased one and I didn't find any info on this site. Parts are easy to get, Polaris released the MV700 to general public under the name Polaris Sportsman MV7 with a couple less parts ie. the gun rack and blackout lights...
I recently picked up a complete original style 6k winch. It did not have any of the main power cords and the controller harness is cut.
I've seen them on HMMWVs long ago installed but I can't remember some things. I've personally installed both front and rear hydraulic milemarker and front 12k...
Picked up a interesting generator last week. I bought it mostly for the trailer (which has great tires, electric 24v brakes, adjustable height pintle, folding tongue and greaseable bearings) but I would like to try to get the generator running. Looks like the model number is Panda SSTr 40-4 PSC...
I have an issue where my MEP-005 will not start.
Backstory: Generator ran fine up until around 3 weeks ago when I accidentally ran it out of fuel. Since then after refilling the tank with fuel, the generator will not start. I am getting fuel to the injectors and smoke from the exhaust, but the...
I’m starting this build thread to keep myself reminded of what I’ve done to the vehicle and plans I have for the vehicle. When I can, I try to help people on this site with their vehicles, and one of the best ways I have learned how to do something for my military vehicles is simply observing...
I've read through several posts on here trying to find a solution to my problem but I haven't found it yet. It's on a 1984 M1009 CUCV
Here is my problem:
When braking, the vehicle will pull hard to the left or to the right. It appears that only one of the front brakes will get the majority of...
I have a problem with my blackout drive light. It is in my CUCV II, but from everything I have seen in comparison to my other vehicles it is a very similar setup as a CUCV I.
In blackout lights "on" and b.o. drive "on", I am getting no voltage to the B.O. drive light. All the other b.o. side...
Need help. Need to get back running because power is out. The generator was running fine and when I looked outside at the panel I saw 160 volts on each phase. Turned off the output and now it won't put out any voltage. The "LOW FUEL/STOPPED" warning light is on. The fuel is not low and is full...
Is there any way to tell what gear ratio the differentials are without dropping the covers? I thought they were stamped on the side, but I can't find it. This is on a 1994 M998A1. Need to know the ratio for programming my transmission computer.
I am finishing up my 4L80E swap in one of my HMMWVs. I currently have two questions after everything is done.
I installed an electronic speedometer, harness, and sending unit. Everything is working, but the speed, according to the GPS on my phone, is off by 10 MPH too high, ie. showing 70 MPH...
Hello all,
I have a M1025A2 HMMWV that has had an issue with the transmission light since I received it. The problem is that the transmission light is illuminated after the vehicle is turned off. This leaves the TCM on and eventually kills the batteries. Once the vehicle is turned on, the...
I have a 2001 M1123 that I have been doing some work to. I disconnected the fan clutch yesterday and I can't get it to reconnect. Seems like it just needs to go 1/8" more to snap on. Any tips/tricks to get it back on? There's much less room to get my hands in to reconnect it than on a v belt engine.
Has anyone ever used Centramatics on the m1009 CUCV? If so, what model number did you use? The one's on my HMMWV work well so I'm thinking of getting a set for my blazer.
2020 Desert Storm Memorial Day Parade. 25 May 2020
We have been asked to bring military vehicles to the Washington, D.C. Memorial Day Parade. This is the one that goes right down Pennsylvania Avenue.
We are attached to the Desert Storm unit of the parade. You do not need to be a Desert Storm...
Does anyone know the wire number for the horn where it plugs into the light switch? I was half asleep last night when I was wiring my backup lights and tapped into 40 instead, which is the panel lights.
