Need to replace the whole tail light assembly on (right side) M1031 contact maintenance CUCV; after an unfortunate late night trailer drop off. Backed a generator trailer in next to another trailer at night, no lights, down slope, snow all the way and back from school, rain, sleet, lions, tiger...

Key is fuel savings - why run a 250HP Cummins at 2 gallons per hour and get wet stacking when you can run an MEP002 or 003 at less than 1 gal per hour and run the equipment. We only need the 25kw generator if running lathe, drill press, grinders, welders and all the lights at the same time. In...

M944A1 conversion nearing work ready status Ok, we are up and making equipment. Joe is running the lathe off a MEP-003 and the truck generator also works. The truck remains hard to start - so any advice on using the ether kit is appreciated. We also are looking for the Manual for the Southbend...

Dooohhh, read the wrong date Ok, need some more coffee;) I'll take any generator parts a anyone has left over!

Ok, last post was a year ago - what's up now? I'm almost shocked that a perfectly good truck would be torn down but hey I understand it is a hobby for some of you rich guys. Where's all the stuff now?

A Steelsoldier posted governor upgrade instructions and now I can't find them - I have to use Google to search SS - new search tools needed. Anyone know where that link on governor upgrades is?

M994A1 extension cord for remote power Ok, here is the remote power cable Amphenol connector - can anyone help find a source for these at reasonable cost? Must be dozens of these cords laying on someone's bone yard. My truck came with a 50 foot extension cord with this connector to go to the...

Extension cord to generator for M944A1 Ok, got the extension cord sorted and the remote and main power up and working well with my MEP-003. Attached is the picture of the wiring from the MEP-003 to the truck. To convert civilian colors to Amphenol - Black - Red - Orange and White as Neutral -...

Remote power cord pin out and cable color code for 3 phase remote power to M944A1 Please, I requested only serious posts. The color was explained in the post. Graphics are coming soon. Yesterday I fired up the generator and got full power to the shop. Problem now is remote power and the large...

Any chance you will post this in Excel format or Word or some form that we can then modify? I want to modify the list for my specific truck for training of crew and inventory checks) - please PM me if you don't want to post or I think others would want it as well. Thx.

Someone asked why I care - simply put the tax payers paid some expensive engineers to figure this all out. Why not leverage that to the best of our abilities? So the point with this thread is the same as the point of this SS - make the liquidation materials as usable as possible. I'm simply...

FastFunco - hey, I'm in the same boat with my 944A1 and probably looking at a similar use up here at Hollister Hills SVRA (vehicle recreation area;). My PTO is a pain to engage - I've decided to run a MEP-002 on a trailer next to my unit to keep fuel costs down - how often do you really need...

Does anyone know if there is a overall generator inspection and quality check that the military uses for their service centers? I'm looking for an actual checklist and steps to train a someone with a high school education how to inspect and incoming generator - document it's condition and then...

Great input on MEP-002 fuel consumption Thanks for the great input on the MEP-002 fuel consumption - I have three of these units and plan to build them for diesel customers. My business is helping off-grid customers run their homes and I use mil-tech when possible due to the quality. So my...

for heating yes, but for genset run it works ok yes, and when using for heating fuel the energy content matters more but when running a genset it is gallons per hours and generators are 30%-35% or so efficient - a 5-10kw unit of either type run about .75-1.5 gallons per hour - so run time...

somewhat helpful I have the same issue with the manuals for my M944A1 - the trailer model is openly available the truck model not distributed - which makes the control a little silly but hey, that must be some rational right????aua Any chance I can get copies of the figures you mention - I...

oh yeah, the cost is important as well You did not mention that 200 gallons of propane would be roughly $400 delivered and the same amount of diesel would be roughly $800 plus delivery (so if you made four trips with the pickup and a 55 gallon drum) your cost for 200 gallons of diesel would be...

Yes, if that covers the CUCV - it appears not listed in Steel Soldiers TMs - anyone got electronic that they can upload to SS?

long resupply times are typical with propane - only luck would leave you out Typical home resupply with propane is 3-6 months per resupply (tanks run from 150-500gals) - so going 22 days is not an issue unless you happen to be very low and then had the low probability of no resupply. Trying...

Propane is good, diesel is a sloppy mess. If you have propane - then go propane. Diesel backup typically is a problem unless you have regular source of diesel, refresh the fuel regularly and run any genset fully loaded - bottom line for a home that is not going to happen unless you need to run...
