Nicely done! I wanted to ask a few questions please forgive me my first HMMWV is currently on its way here now I have not seen it yet. I have a similar model to you 86 HMMWV equipped with the 100 amp alternator overhauled in ME in 2007 I wanted a clean way to tap into the 12 volt system to...

Looks like I will be going through this soon as I should have an M998 here in the next 3-5 days. I will post what happens I plan to try getting it inspected for regular tags first

I heard the historic tag laws recently changed. Where did you hear that you cannot tow a trailer with historic tags? i know they state limited use and to and from service stations and parades etc. I see people driving on historic tags often I don’t think they really enforce it. I had military...

Register as historic no inspection needed

I would pay 10k for a nice one if anyone has a 4 door in decent shape pm me located in MD

I found this thread with a Google search. I hope to hear an update from the original person in this thread. I am also hoping that someone may be able to help me figure out what is wrong with a Mep803a that I have. I have not done anything with this unit in over a year. I own a few other...

My memory is not that good but I don't think the top cover needs to come off I think the rear cover does to run the fuel return line back to the tank but I am not 100% sure. I have had the top cover off of one of my generators and multiple back covers on multiple machines. the top cover is not...

I currently have 4 Mep-803a units and I sold 2 others. Of the three good ones none of them will run my 7.5hp Ingersol Rand air compressor. When I tried the generator engine would bog down almost to the point of stalling but the compressor would not get up to speed to I did not want to damage...

I have a question regarding the wet stacking. I am not sure how much my particular unit has wet stacked. It runs well without any smoke or soot. The issue I am now having is that when I put a decent load on it the generator will stall out. I can run all of my shop lights and one ac unit which...

Does anyone know if wet stacking can cause power output issues? I purchased some more of these in unknown condition. I have 2 machines with power output issues that are both wet stacked 1 of them is registering a 75% load with only shop fluorescent lights on that registered 25% on others...

I have replaced the rubber fuel hoses and posting this so if others are in the same situation they will have the answer. The reason I was worried was because someone I know is still currently in the military and has been working on these for 17 years. He said the newer design they had to make...

I am concerned with what is under the sheath that is either brazed or welded to the metal fuel line. Hopefully there is something there to attach the hose to and not made into the sheath

I found this thread searching for MEP-803a fuel lines. I have been doing some research and my 1995 model that had a tier 2 reset in 2010 has the older style fuel line on it that has braised on and crimped to the 1/4 SAE fuel hoses that run from each injector to the metal return line. It's a...

Daybreak where can I purchase one of those? NSN 6130-1-487-0035)The solar panel is listed as 6.3 watts and is 9" x 11"

Can you please go into more detail about the internal jumper that needs to be removed? Where exactly is it located? Since my setup will remain portable on the trailer do I need to disconnect the ground wire from the output board to the trailer? I would like to easily convert this to work both...

Glockfan and others what amperage rating for the circuit breaker are you running? I know the data plate reads 57 amps which would place a 60 amp breaker properly sized but I have watched some Youtube videos where people are getting 67 amps out of these machines at full load to about 130% I have...

Thanks I was reading the manuals and I was not able to find any recommended service intervals for changing the engine oil. I did find that is calls for 15/40 engine oil with Milspec numbers which I am not familiar with. Will something like Shell Rotella 15/40 oil from the local parts store be ok...

Do you know how often the military technical manuals suggest that these are run when not being used and for how long? I would assume that the Diesel fuel is good for about a year or so. I also would think it would be a good idea to get them to operating temperature to remove condensation from...

I would like to see the thread if you are able to post a link.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll need to research the heat pump mod. Jimbo I see that you are located in Maryland may I ask what part? Once my Mep-803a arrives I plan to setup something up to be able to connect it into my house., Mine is on a trailer which I wanted it to be portable. We do not...
