    cargo cover install help

    Forgive my ignorance, but there are uprights in addition to the troop seats for the bows? I haven't seen any of the uprights for sale from when I've looked. Any good sources for them? I'm actually looking for a complete bow set if someone has one for sale...

    school me, MEP-004

    Except the MEP-004 is not 400hz, it's 60hz, so it's a moot point.

    Need a seat recommendation

    I haven't yet installed it, but I got a long middle lap belt out of a van at the junkyard. I have a springer drivers seat, which has the seatbelt provisions on the seat. That freed up the original center seat belt bolt on the back of the cab, so I'll use that for one side. I'll then share the...

    Brake bleeding doesn't seem to be going as planned

    No, the major brake adjustment involves feeler gauges. The minor brake adjustment is just cranking the adjustment nuts on the backplate until it starts dragging and back it off a hair. The adjustment nuts are 4 big nuts, 2 on top, 2 on bottom, that control the resting position of the shoes.

    Brake bleeding doesn't seem to be going as planned

    When I first bought my truck I did have a firm pedal feel, but the pedal would freely go almost to the floor before I felt any braking action. A minor brake adjustment as outlined in the TM fixed that. Now my pedal feel is less than an inch before braking action starts.

    Brake bleeding doesn't seem to be going as planned

    When I bled my brakes with the pressure bleeder, I hooked up a hose to the bleeder screws into a fluid collection jar and opened the bleeder. Since you have plenty of positive pressure coming from the pressure bleeder, you can open the valve pretty wide by sliding the wrench off and back on...

    MEP-002A Multiple Issues...

    Sad to say this, but your "test" of pulling the battery cable while running may have cooked some of the control electronics. These gensets can't handle that.

    24V Strip Lighting for Cab

    I was browsing the superbrightleds.com website for some lamps, and stumbled across these 24V strip LED lights: Model LBFA LuxBar series 24VDC Linear Light Fixtures Specifications . They make them in lengths ranging from 2 inches to 47 inches. Since they're 24V, it's a straight wiring install...

    Driver certification on M35A2

    What's the proper procedure for backing in a deuce with regards to the transmission and clutch? I can let the clutch out fully and hold the truck with the brake, but when I start letting up the truck wants to back up too quickly. When backing the truck into its spot I'm finding myself riding the...

    Documenting the M105A2 structure

    That's a M105A2C right, because it has the emergency gladhand and tank in addition to the service gladhand?

    Safety Chain extension size for M105

    Perhaps I should have elaborated better. I was planning on the 3 foot of chain and use 4 links, 2 to hold the chain onto the truck and to center the chain, and the other to hooked onto the existing safety chains to actually make the connection. That way I can adjust as needed and have a single...

    Safety Chain extension size for M105

    Thursday I'm going to be recovering my first M105, and from what I've read, to tow safely with a civy vehicle, the safety chains have to be extended. What size chain and roughly how long do the safety chains need to be? I was going to pick up around 3 feet of 3/8" chain and screw links, but I...

    Running MEP-003 without generating power

    The fuel shutoff solenoid does lift up when I hit the starter. I think I've bled the system. I opened the bleeder on top of the fuel filter until I got fuel out of it, and left the set in the run position for long enough that I think the air would have gotten pushed out, probably 5+ minutes by now.

    Running MEP-003 without generating power

    I've been trying to get this MEP-003A generator running, and have met resistance every step of the way. First, I had to repair the wiring harness and replace a missing injector line, missing injector return line, hooked up the disconnected oil line, and replaced a broken oil fitting. So...

    Speed Control Cable MEP-002A and MEP-003A

    I'm pretty sure they are. You can get them brand new from Delk's for around $100.

    Running MEP-003 without generating power

    This genset was missing an injector line, injector return line, had oil lines disconnected and broken, some messed up wiring, missing start relays. My theory is it has some illness and was cannibalized afterwards. Hopefully it isn't a pile of scrap!

    Running MEP-003 without generating power

    That was the plan, except the screw on the old starter is STUCK. Even taking the impact with a phillips bit isn't budging those machine screws when they virtually fall out of the new one I have. The wiring should be pretty good and clean. I virtually had to reassemble the wiring at the starter...
