    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    The MEP003A is up and running! After burnishing Switch 7 there was start signal through K3 and the engine started fine. Output voltage is there, and adjustable. The Freq meter does not work though, and no DC output from the Freq Converter module. Not a show stopper. Many VOMs have frequency...

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Looks like I need to check out S7, the Start Control Switch Assembly, that should be providing ground to K3 X2. Edit: Guyfang, roger on that main circuit checked out good. Coil is not being enabled though, no ground, which S7 should provide.

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    K3 is correct of course. I relied on memory. Post covid memory. Still chasing issues: K3 term X2 coil is not getting grounded to engage relay. Does have 24v to X1. Upper main terminal on K3 was loose too. Got that fixed. Tried following circuit on diagram on top of control panel but too...

    M1078 hard shift

    You can spend $25 for oil evaluation and not worry. I use Blackstone and have saved hundreds. My trucks shift fine with 15W40.

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Not fixed yet. The batteries were "borrowed" from another vehicle, and "borrowed back" to original source before I got there to work. So next time I am taking batteries! I did Ohm out wiring and suspect K2. More to come...

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Perfect! Thank you. I will search for that thread some more. I had searched, really! Update: found the threads! I had always included 003 in the search. Thread was on 002. Dumb computers shoulda known they are the same... Great threads, thanks.

    MEP-003A voltage and phase switch stuck

    Working on a Sheriff's Dept gen set, MEP-003A. Has been sitting for years. Engine running now and sounds good but there are issues. The voltage and phase selection switch will not turn. Feel the spring load but the contacts do not jump to new positions. It seems the issue is mechanical and...

    Flat glass windshield installation

    Suggestion, please use some punctuation. You have good ideas, but its not worth the extra time to extract that info. Thanks.

    LMTV shifting issue

    Please be aware that one disconnect switch cannot disable both the 12 and 24 volt circuits. Just disconnecting the ground still leaves high current available from the positive of the 12v circuits/devices and the positive of the 24v devices. For example, working on the Power Distribution...

    Cab heater

    Some, if not all, LMTV have a restrictor in the input of the transmission cooler to greatly reduce the flow through the trans cooler. The restriction is a machined cylinder that slides into the tube of the cooler and the left radiator hose fits over. There is a hole in the restrictor, maybe...

    I have an antenna that needs a radio...

    The 'prick' radio you were sent to find might have been a PRC-77. Like the PRC-25, the nickname prick was used (as for all PRC radios). Frequency range is same as Mike said so works with your antenna. All these radios are hard to find now, maybe due to demand from the reenactment crowd...

    LMTV Cab Suspension Airbags Alternative

    There is a replacement air bag that works. I have one installed on a truck for a couple of weeks to verify ok. It may be for a Volvo and is very slightly different, hence the different part number. The part number is KA-5066. There's no "PP" number associated with it and that may explain...

    Found some cool pictures - M944A1 SEORTM

    There was one of these trucks in Celina, TN, just a couple of years ago. A truck parked near it was on Gov Deals. Does anyone know what happened to the SEORTM?

    6x6 V-Link Boots

    Neat work. What is the banding system you used to put on the clamp rings? Maybe usable to install cab suspension bags?
