You should be okay using the same L0, L1 etc connections. As others mentioned, make sure you ground the thing and check the total amount of power you plan to draw in the shelter to make sure the MEP-017A will handle the load, especially with the heater on. I have several MEP-017As and can...

If you don't have any play in the U joints, check the bushings in the rear axle A frame that attach to the bottom of the floor plan. I drive mine on rough roads and they don't seem to last very long. PN 10885166 figure 87 or 88 in the -35 manual.
As others have stated, you should have either 2 or 4 batteries, not three. They should be hooked up so that you have two sets of two batteries in parallel, and then these two sets of two are hooked in series to get you the 24 volts that the truck requires. (Note, there is one wire that connects...
The battery charger voltage regulator is bad on my MEP002A. I have an MEP017A I have no use for and was wondering if other than form factor if the MEP017A VR could be used in the MEP002A.
Make sure the cup seals on the shaft go in correctly. I screwed up several sets of them. Finally broke down and bought the special tool they made for that purpose.
The TB referenced in another post has pretty much everything you need to know about this AC system. After verifying that the fans worked when putting a jumper across the yellow and orange wires. I charged it up some more. It now blows cold air. Only difference is that my Condenser fans don't...
Thanks guys, the info you have given me will help me get started on troubleshooting without the schematics. Even though there are six wires on the condenser end of the wiring harness, there are only two wires in the connector that mates to it coming up along the back of the cab. I therefore...
I just got one of the new Red Dot air conditioners (RD-2-4530-0) for my M920. Instructions with it were for an M915, for which I had to do a few mods to make it work, but I got it installed and charged up. The problem is the high side pressure was running to high, but cooling. I let out some...
I have an MEP002A I checked the timing on. When rotating the engine clockwise, the fuel did not stop flowing from the number one cylinder port until the PC mark on the flywheel was two marks past the pointer. I have an A button in my IP. Per page 7-40 of TM5-6115-585-34, "If the P.C. mark on...
I hooked up a non electric gauge and it reads about 40psi. In order to determine if it is the sending unit or the gauge I could use some help. I was wondering if someone that has this class of truck would take a voltage measurement on the back of the gauge and tell me the voltage and the...
The rear door on my M3 Halftrack is not original. It was fabed up by one of the previous owners. They welded a Sea container latch on it. I bought one of the correct latches that is being sold on ebay. Can anyone tell me what the latch dimensions/spacing are for the screw mounting holes?
I have used it on several fuel tanks and one jerry can. I have been happy with the results. In fact, I am getting ready to use it on two MEP003 fuel tanks.
I looked at gauges you provided the link for. They are the standard (MSXXXX) military gauges and sending units. The M920 does not have the standard military gauges and sending units. It appears to be Stewart Warner type commercial gauges.
Thanks for the reply. However, this is where the TM is not much help comment comes in. The 353 BY is actually a switch that activates at 15psi. I suspect it is the low oil pressure switch, even though the -24P TM lists item no. 6 (pn 2901-21) as a low engine oil pressure switch, which closes...
The oil pressure on my 920 gauge has been reading about 20-22 lbs, which would be to low. Today I hooked up a non electrical gauge and it read 35-40lbs, which should be about right. So in true shot gunning troubleshooting form, I have decided to replace the pressure sending unit, since I...
Best thing to have on truck is bud socket, large breaker bar with extension and cheater pipe. However, I have used the big 1inch impact wrench as well as a small impact wrench to take off and put on lug nuts, using the truck air supply. The thing to remember about the impact wrenches is that...
Does anyone have any part numbers on new stock seals for the DUKW pillow block (Banjo)? I also understand that there is a timken seal that goes in the rear differential pinion (where PTO attaches) where they are thin enough that you can put two of them in. They should be the same as a CCKW...
