    the proud owner of a MEP-004a.

    Well I am hoping to pick one up but I'd like to know what the Lynette bolt setup looks like and just some overall pics of the outside. I've been cruisin through the TMs trying to get more familiar with your exact setup. Congrats by the way!

    speedometer died

    I have 33"s and my speedo is off just a little bt the weird thing is the noise it makes. It bounces and makes a noise in sync with the bounce like a chin, chin, chin, chin that increases with speed. Highly annoying!

    M200A1 2½-ton trailer frame dimensions?

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Yeah I have a third battery in the battery box. I cut the bumps down in the floor of the box and turned all my batts sideways so three fit side by side. I chose a seperate 12V system since I will prob be adding a good bit of 12V stuff. A converter will do just about anything that most will need...

    Well I fired it up, turned on the switch and everything seemed to work great. Got 12+V at my buss. Before I ran anything I checked the 12V batt and had 12.4 V then when everything was running the Alt is putting out 14+ V. Seems like it's all good. Thanks for the help guys!:beer:

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    I was going to use a relay that was activated by the deuce ignition switch, that would in turn send the 12V to the alt. Instead of doing that I am just suing a sep switch so no relay is being used. Sorry about the pic but the 1-2 terminal area is on the bottom. The 2 red wires going under the...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Roger on the ground issue. I should have made that clearer on the switch. Instead of using the relay and ignition switch to activate the alternator as the instructions said I was just using a simple on/off switch to send 12V to the alt. I posted a pic of what the directions were saying. Is...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    So the HH issue is over.. On to the 12V stuff. Have the bracket and alt all bolted in, everything is wired just not connected or energized. Question 1: Since it was siad I can use the same ground between the 12/24V systems can I do it using these methods in the pics. The 12V alt ground is...

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    There are other sources but personally i have used Saturn Surplus and Fair Radio. The mast sections can be had for $5-10 each (there are 3, ms116-117-118) and I used the ab-15/gn base since it was pretty cheap an still authentic. That I found from $15-30. Then just added a tip for s/g's There...

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    Alright, along with figuring out what the **** I did to screw up my deuce putting the HH back in.. that's finally all worked out thanks to Horst, Gimpyrob and Greg. Hooked up the CB and PA to the antenna. Seems like I'm picking up I-95 which is at least 12mi away which I though was far for an...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Finally got it out after continously turning it and trying. Thanks alot to Chris (gimpyrob) for the help! Gonna tme it up tommorow. Getting ready to reinstall the HH. The front piston rockers are flat and are loose, one more than the other. Also all the lines are matched up perfectly. Some...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Strange thing now is I have the tooth lined up with the pointer and I can't get the HH out.. I have tried a little before and a little after the mark and no dice.. I gotta give my back a break so I'll try later. As per TM9-2815-210-34-2-2 we had it set with the pointer at the tooth just to...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    GREAT! Super excited about being an idiot.. :cookoo: Well at least I will KNOW my engine is setup correctly. I will peruse some TMs about the timing also since it is HOT at the moment. Thanks again for the advice Horst. On a side note that Apple Rubber Co. sent some fine looking viton orings...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Well in my rush to get this back together I slapped in on not paying attention to the tooth and mark and of course now it won't start... I probably need to do a whole timing reset on it now.

    When I put the HH back in I need to have that gear lined up just like I took it out correct? Grr...:shock:

    Civvy Trailer Plug Wiring

    Lex - Would the adapter you made in the 4th picture work for MEP-004a mounted ona 2.5ton generator trailer and a 2005 dodge ram with the round trailer receptacle? That adapter takes the 12v truck lights to the 24v trailer lights? edit: looking at it closer it is definitely an M200A1 trailer.

    Haven't had a chance to get under the truck yet but took a few minutes to put on my antenna setup. This will be wired to an old Cobra CB.
