They called them "Rhinos". Slow, sluggish and couldn't get out of their own way. Were designed to protect passengers from schrapnel from indirect (mortar and rocket) fire. I can recall one incident where a Rhino did what it was supposed to do. I think they were also supposed to deflect RPG fire...

Thanks. I'll double check voltage to the top of K3. I does crank when I hook a separate switch to the top and bottom of K3. So the solenoid does work, just not when I use the master switch. I guess that says something. I'll clean out the master switch as well.

I've probably worn out my welcome trying to figure out why my MEP won't crank. Typical--several issues. Looks like the rotary switch is part of the problem. (Diode bad as well). I'm shopping and in the market for a new switch and trying to avoid coughing up 200. Will the four position switch...

If I jump the top and bottom terminals on K3 and hit the starter switch it will crank. When you say put power to K3 what procedure are you thinking? Is that whatyou had in mind?

I posted about a year ago and want to thank those who responded. Unfortunately the mystery continues. Short recap: I can't get it to crank, using the switch. I replaced the starter/solenoid. Still nothing. I checked the lock out switch, it is closed and I jumped it, several times. No change. As...

Oh and Speddmon. I did look at the diode behind K1, CR1. I don't have the knowledge to do a test. It "looked" fine. If I need one does anyone have a source?

Thanks. Especially Speddmon. I still have the same problem. I started over on the diagnostics. I looked at the starter lock out switch, the contacts were touching and I did get continuity. I tried the starter--no cranking. I pulled the lockout plug and jumped the two wires to the control box...

OK. I did plug in the harness at the IP. Second, I replaced both the starter and the solenoid. I also checked and readjusted the starter lock out switch. No change. Next I jumped the starter lock-out switch. No Change. I checked continuity between the master switch and the solenoid--no issues...

Thanks I'll check it out tomorrow. Simple question from someone who has trouble reading electrical schematics. Where is K3, I found K1 and K2?

I replaced that starter and solenoid and still have the same problem. I jumped the starter lock out and nothing. I did make some progress. I bought a remote trigger type starter switch and put the clamps on the solenoid and reached over and turned the master switch to start...it cranked and...

Thanks. I jumped the solenoid with a remote starter switch and the bendix turned but didn't engage the flywheel. I'll take a look at the schematic and work my way back. I jumped the starter lock out switch and got nothing...also checked and cleaned all the grounds--including to the control box...

I bought two MEP002s on M103A trailer. Both have their issues but one has me baffled. When I first got it I tested it after cleaning the fuel system. It puffed white smoke and kicked off. I shut it down so I could check the fuel system again. I installed civilian spin on fuel and oil filters...

I've got two MEP002A's. One had a bad injection pump. The other a starter issue. Both have under 600 hours.

Does anyone recognize the model of MRAP?

Let me know if you need an engine or engine parts. I've got a rebuilt D198ER that I'll either sell or part out. It's got a bent crank shaft pulley. I can help with your engine if you have trouble getting it running right...not so much with the generator.

Thanks to all. It was the oil pressure sensor. She's running great....but throttle cable broke. Two steps forward and one step back. I'll check the classifieds but any suggestions on where I can source a cable would be most helpful. Thanks to all again. It's a great site and I appreciate the...

Just bougt a nice looking MEP002a at GL Fort Lewis. 75 hours since full reset. She starting right up after installing filters, putting in new batteries, oil etc but dies as soon as I let the master switch return from start to run and prime. The bendix on the starter kicks out so I can keep it...

MEP002a on M116A Trailer. 96 reset with 71 hours. Recent paint. Will get in going today. Paid $1300
