    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    I was not aware what you were talking about (about potential, future "well nut" issues on the fuel tank) so I had to do some looking around). For my own future reference, I found this thread, the links in it, and @Triton's PDF write up the most helpful...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    June 20th, 2022: I noticed the tan generator's fuel return line was very deteriorated, but surprisingly wasn't leaking. I replaced all the return fuel lines pieces. I had a local place (formerly named "Evco House of Hose" now called "Erik's") match the hose, I think it was 1/8". The supplied...

    GA Armored - Aircraft - Watercraft, a new classifieds section

    Isn't that what the individual's Steel Soldiers feed back rating is for, or is this more of "I know them personally" voucher needed?

    Valence's 1990 Turtle Mountain M116A2 Power Plant AN/MJQ-33

    It's nice to buy something fully serviced, fixed, and with no issues! Astute observers will notice I did keep items from the trailer. >.> I couldn't leave my new trailers and generators without the handy pile of ground rods, slide hammer and more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's been several months since I...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    January 28, 2023: I made and wired up dual commercial twist lock connectors that will "live" on both generators, both the common "L1430" 30A and "LL550" 50A for versatility. The 50A connector was discussed earlier in this thread...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    May 5th, 2022: I installed the second "WiFi Manager" controller on my green MEP-803A from @kloppk. This time I actually masked and painted the holes, which is what I should have done for the install on the tan generator. Here is a capture of the controller attached to my network tonight...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Some back log updates: April 30th, 2022: I installed a WiFi Manager Remote Start Controller on my tan generator that I purchased from @kloppk (See his listings on SS here or eBay!). Really impressive what he's made and how perfectly well it integrates and will control the generators! I can...

    Valence's 1990 Turtle Mountain M116A2 Power Plant AN/MJQ-33

    June 15th, 2022: Both "Ever Start" batteries from 2019 still tested good. Rated for 230 CCAs and tested at 291 CCA and 265 CCA. June 17th, 2022: I made a very hard decision and sold the trailer and both generators. If I had a lot more money, I would have absolutely kept them because they're...

    Valence's 1990 Turtle Mountain M116A2 Power Plant AN/MJQ-33

    I've been a little MIA from the forum here, so let me get things caught up. June 2nd, 2022: I replaced the frequency transducer (Thanks @Light in the Dark!) on the rear-most generator and it seemed to help. Here's a little operational test: In taking off the side acoustic panel, one of the...

    Shipped a dozen or so of these to a Canadian military supplier, so now I'm an international military supplier!

    UT Troop Seat Safety Strap for Military Cargo Trucks

    Bump! After shipping an order of over 60 of these to an Air Force training squadron in Texas, I can now say I'm officially a US Military supplier. :jumpin:

    Road trip Spokane to Salt Lake City Utah

    Well, about 3 hours north of Salt Lake City, but I love that place too! I've been going there since I was little and it was in like a garage or something.

    Road trip Spokane to Salt Lake City Utah

    Sounds like a long drive, but can be fun with the right people! I don't have anything specific for your LMTVs, but I'm right next to I-15 in Davis County (~20 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah). I do have some products I've made my self and other surplus for sale that you could stop and save...

    Thank you for the grease suggestion. I shall do that. Awesome, thank you so much for the part number!

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    With much THANKS to Daybreak and the sticky in this forum: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-filters-and-parts.186068 Even though the oil in both generators looked clean and still amber in color, and the units are both low hours, I have no idea when they were last serviced, so...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    I bought an Autel AL539B OBD2 Scanner, but mostly for its other testing capabilities, such as the battery CCA tester. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079GXRV1M And tested the Optima Red Top Group 34 batteries, rated for 800 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), in both generators: In the Tan MEP-803A, the...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    I ended up actually receiving an SF-97 from Gov Planet, and it claims that my green 10KW trailer here is actually a 2006. Unfortunately I already have it titled in the State of Utah as a 2000. I re-filled out all the paperwork, had another VIN inspection by the local Police (as I was...
