I will have some pictures up tomorrow hopefully. Need to get unloaded and downloaded. Other than a couple of showers it was a great weekend.

I was watching the Del. units and everything there went nuts, now the trailers are doing the same thing! Full moon maybe??? I didn't even watch the truck prices recently.

Alternator output is totally dependent on the load it sees from the battery so disconnecting them really tells you nothing other than it is working. It used to be done all the time with generators and it kind of carried over as alternators came in. The old guys will say it will do no harm, well...

My thought is that you are going to be buying a lot of regulators and electronics if you insist on running it with the batteries disconnected. You are spiking the system every time you disconnect while running and with no load the alternator could very well put out 40-50 volts and blow out...

1800diesel had mentioned that in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?108840-Oops-looks-like-a-bought-a-MEP-003a!

Jerry, I will get them out and get your info, there is nobody around me and if there were they would not know what to do with these anyway I am sure.

No real way to check them short of replacement is there?

Don't know yet Jerry, I have to flow time it. It is a running unit but it acts weird. I had a thread going on it a while ago. It will run smooth and then trail off and stagger along knocking with white smoke for 20-30 seconds and then smooth out for a minute and repeat all over. This came out of...

I thought I saw a post somewhere about the timing buttons being more available now, maybe on Ebay? I can't find it in search but then again I am lousy at search phrases. I really need to get the pump changed on my spare 002. Rick

If it is set up through the step down resistor on the firewall and you jump the relay with only five good plugs you will have zero good plugs real fast! If you want to try jumping them I would disconnect the two large wires going to the plugs and jump directly to them with one battery, 12 volts...

Ga. to NY. in a truck with 4:56 gears! That is gonna be a looooong loud ride. The glow plugs are probably blown out and if they are swelled and break off in the head then the head has to come off. I don't think you want to be doing that on the road. If the glow plugs are not working then how has...

It was not meant as an insult, I am sorry. I will say no more.

Looks like most CUCV's at 50,000. I would go with that but remember that service on these was nowhere near as good as in older years. I live on the firing ranges of Ft. Dix and I see trucks all the time with lights out, half flat tires, broken windows. When I was in (1969) you NEVER saw that. It...

I am not trying to be a spoiler here but I have been in the market for a 925 and I have been seeing them selling all day long for 4000.00 and down. You are talking about some dangerous combinations here and the guys have been pretty good about not bringing that up. You even asked what a trailer...

I know there are a bunch of D198ER engines going up for auction. They are used in the MEP 004- 005 Gen-sets. I always thought they would be a neat thing to have for log splitters or such, just don't know about connecting them up.

Have you turned it over by hand? Fins packed with sand and air cleaner missing is a bad sign!

Lets see, ten dollars cheaper each and no shipping, How much would you want to pay extra? I figure all told the price would be about double. I prefer to save that extra for the things that I can only get from the vendors.

Something had to seize to cause that shaft to break. It is not "just a broken shaft". There is more to the picture. I would plan on the core being junk. I also have to agree with the WMO, These are straight, clean diesel motors.

You are aware that the civvie blazer also came with a diesel aren't you? The trucks are exactly the same except for the funky military wiring on the CUCV which in reality is a detriment because you cannot just go to any junkyard for parts. The mechanicals are all the same between the civvie and...

You may want to check those panels well for fit. You will most likely find they are too tall top to bottom amd will be too long to put the dash support on and also will have the wrong radius. I have a TON of picture of the bad panels I got from them. I was promised my money back but when I asked...
