    Need thermostat for Mep 005a

    What should my fuel consumption be on a mep005 @ full load

    The TM5-6115-465-12 indicates fuel consumption is 1 gallon per hour per 10kW of load. Based upon over 60 running hours of my MEP-005a during this current Texas crisis, I'd say this is darn close. I was loaded anywhere from 10kW to 18kW and my average consumption was 1.4 to 1.8 gallons per hour.

    Thanks Fuzzytoaster!

    Totally agree; FuzzyToaster is super to deal with! He goes above and beyond for his customers and has done so for me. I’ve even seen him drop everything to help an unknown, stranded MV owner. If the world had more FuzzyToasters, it would be a better place. I am fortunate he his local to me, but...

    M936 on it's way!! What batteries do I need???

    Welcome to the military wrecker world! You will very much enjoy it. You likely have batteries by now, but if not, the correct batteries are four 6TL's. I get them through O'Reilly's for $202 each and they arrive next day (picture below). As others have mentioned, you won't need four batteries...

    I've had the exact same problem with my M1009 after installing a new aluminum heater core, due to original copper core leaking. Totally stock set-up. I've done everything, including new NAPA hockey puck thermostat, made certain the diverter doors in the heater box are closing all the way...
