    MEP-802a “non runner”

    Maybe not, this don’t look good for not having fluids. Just the tip of the dipstick was showing. Maybe it’s from setting up and “sweating” from low oil in the case.

    84 1008 build.

    I had a 88 V30 Air Force truck that was a 6.2 and the sensor for the high idle in the passenger side of the engine shorted out internally causing it not to work. It that also killed all my dash gauges as well. Not sure if it causes your dash to do the same as it’s lights only. It’s a fairly...

    No Start Issue Since Dying While Driving

    You have a fuel pressure delivery problem it sounds like. But the solenoid fuse is the outlier here that’s strange. Could still be possible though. Also make sure you don’t have corrosion on the wire under the insulation causing high resistance. Would it run better when the pump temp was cooler...

    MEP-802a “non runner”

    So, got up there to Fayetteville 2 hours early due to lighter traffic than anticipated on I-95. Guy that runs the yard there was awesome and happy I was early and we shot the breeze for a bit and I hitched up shot the tires to 30 psi and headed off. One bearing set ran a steady 93-95 degrees...

    MEP-802a “non runner”

    Yes I have. Looking for more any info that may help me with this recovery just due to distance with this specific platform as my first recovery was very short at only 65 miles and I did zero asking and research before that one and probably just got lucky with the tires and cool bearings...

    current SF-97 turnaround times?

    Awesome to hear! Guess I’ll just settle on the fact it’ll be spring before I can really use my trailer for any distance trips 😞

    MEP-802a “non runner”

    It’s just to expedite the removal and tightening of the lug nuts. Especially if I have to use the emergency lane of a interstate. I used a ramp and a come a long to load mine up.

I am aware of the 30-60 business day wait but purchased a M1102 on 9/23/20 and was wondering should i be concerned yet? Or what...

    Anti-theft measures?

    In the fire service we use hidden master power switches to kill it as a anti-draw measure. But, the ones we have that are hidden also make it harder to steal it from a parking lot or scene if it’s unattended. Almost forgot, you can even get keyed master disconnect switches.
