    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    Doesn't matter to the DOT, they just care about the year on the title. Aaron Z

    What criteria is used to mark threads as "read" vs "new"?

    What criteria does the system use to determine when a thread is marked as "new"? I have noticed that if I go to (for example) Auxillary Equipment - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite I see all the unread threads in that forum since my last visit. However, if I get an email notification...

    So, what is the WLL on those quicklinks? Hopefully at least at high as the GVW rating of the trailer? Aaron Z

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    Check the specs on the bulb. SOME are rated for a range of voltages (10-30v is common). Here are a few from Amazon that are rated for 10-30 volts DC: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YT9L16 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CGZXRM http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CGYD0K No connection to the seller or product...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    If you have sealed (ie: waterproof) taillights, many of the LED bulbs will handle 10-30v input out of the box. Aaron Z

    Deuce pricing on GL

    Not quite. It moves to your "Closed Watchlist" which is available at: https://www.govliquidation.com/account/main?tab=ClosedWatchlist Past bid results for all auctions are also theoretically available at: https://www.govliquidation.com/pastbidresults but they are sorted by auction id and that...

    MEP-003A Aux Fuel Hose Adapter

    True, but hydraulic fittings will keep the fuel in both lines. Airline fittings will allow one side to drain. Aaron Z

    Question about local zoning law in FL for Deuce Parking

    :ditto: This is the most important thing to do. If you have it in writing from Mr/Mrs/ XYZ the high up muckety muck of county zoning that your vehicle legal, it will help your cause greatly down the road when a new neighbor moves in down the street and decides to complain about it. Aaron Z

    my experience with wet stacking

    Interesting. Have to remember that when I get a genset. Would a 002 or 003 wet stack as well, or is that just a watercooled engine thing? Aaron Z

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Sounds interesting. Am I reading correctly that this would be possible to do to a 002 or 003 as well? Aaron Z

    Working MEP Gensets on GL?

    Just as a little background on myself: I have worked as a mechanic, HVAC tech, electrician (commercial and residential) and a few other jobs, but my day job (and the career that I settled on) is working with computers. I have been "bitten" quite a few times by 110 and a few times by 220, so I...

    Working MEP Gensets on GL?

    Thanks to all for the information. I will put that in the list of things to check watch out for. But reading the manuals takes all of the fun out of it :D Good to know. For those who have bought trailer mounted gensets, from what I have seen, it appears that I would be best served by...

    Working MEP Gensets on GL?

    I am now looking at several MEP-003A gensets that are "within striking distance" of me and was wondering, how many of these sets look good on an inspection, turn over, but have major issues when you get them home? I am thinking of getting 2-3 of them (need 2, if the price is right, a 3rd...

    MEP-003A with PLC controlled auto start

    What model PLC did you use? I am looking at getting a pair of MEP-003A gensets (one for us/one for the inlaws) and single button start would make it easier to sell the project to the CFO. Thanks Aaron Z

    deuce rollback

    Most rollbacks start with a much shorter (in height)vehicle to make the approach angle easier to navigate. What if you put on a hooklift or the loading system from a rolloff dumpster truck and put a flat container on the back? My $0.02 Aaron Z
