I have an MEP003A connected to a Square D 400 Amp, 4-pole manual transfer switch. I have 400 amp service to my house. I am not switching the neutral so I'm utilizing the neutral / ground bonding from EMC and I do not have a ground rod installed. The neutral and ground on my trailer-mounted...
I previously had an A2 that had the chain welded to the steering column by the Army. I didn't like that because it was ugly and the chain hung down. When welded to the seat frame, the chain is out of the way.
I have a length of 3/8" Grade 100 steel chain with one end welded to the seat frame between the drivers and passenger seats. I loop the other end through the steering wheel with an extremely hardened padlock.
I see the trailer has a data plate on the side of the frame. What is the weight of the trailer? If the construction is aluminum, that will help. I would leave the trailer as is with the axles and tires. If you ever decide to sell the trailer it will be worth a lot more if it is unmodified...
I had a similar issue with my A3 several years ago. Headlights were bright, but the truck wouldn't start. I put a battery charger on each battery separately and the charger said each was fully charged. It turned out that one of the batteries was going open internally when under heavy load. I...
When I checked in, they told me how to get to the rally site and warned me that the first road with the gate closed was not part of what we paid for and to make sure I went to the second entrance. She told me that both areas were rented out separately.
If you are uncertain whether or not you have hooked up all four wires correctly on the Battery Accessory Switch, check the electrical schematic in TM 9-2320-386-24-1-2. It will show you which wire numbers go to which contact on the switch. I have a question. Why did you replace the switch...
That is one reason I like my A3. The steel parts of the cap corrode like crazy, but the aluminum tank itself always looks like brand new. I previously had an A2 and I always filled the tank up almost to the cap. I never had any corrosion in the tank, only the steel parts of the cap.
I found more damage to the main wiring harness and I'm trying to find a replacement. I also found a very active mouse nest and cleaned it out. I see that EI has a custom-made main wiring harness for $695.00. It doesn't have the sheaths covering the different branches of the harness, but does...
Sorry, it's been several years since I removed the pan and my memory isn't what it used to be. I don't remember any particular problem with the removal, but if you are having problems, I probably did as well. I doubt if there is any permanent damage to your transmission since you haven't...
TranSynd is a very good transmission fluid, but only has one advantage over Dexron 3, according to Allison. You can go further between fluid changes with TranSynd than with Dexron 3. Dexron 3 is the recommended fluid for the 1545 transmission with TranSynd also acceptable. Motor oil works...
I suspect you are correct about the pickup. Nothing you did changing the fluid should have caused this. I would drain and pull the pan and hopefully find the pickup was the problem. Did you drain the torque converter? If not, you are mixing the expensive TranSynd with whatever unknown fluid...
Well, the mice finally got to my FLU419. I hadn't seen any mouse damage to my wiring previously. However, I went to use the SEE after about 2 weeks sitting and found that the alternator wasn't charging, but everything else worked so I went ahead and used it for one day, planning on...
Most of my MVs have been manual transmission, and you don't want to use GL-5 with yellow metal. It is much easier to stick with GL-4 on everything I have, and it is readily available. All you need is GL-4 spec compatible. Actually, the API has discontinued the spec for GL-4, but there are...
