    Mep005a code light?

    Some questions to help us understand the problem better. Did the unit ever run correctly before the single phase conversion? Did it ever run correctly after the conversion? Is the engine laboring, like it's under full load? Does the current go up immediately, or only when the contactor is...

    Soldered Lead on Oil Pressure Sensor?

    Well, my curiosity got to me, and I did some further research. One of the NSN documents I found says it is a pressure output port, but not for what purpose. Possibly for a capillary to an actual pressure gage? The doc states "sensor shall have one pressure input connection, one electrical...

    Soldered Lead on Oil Pressure Sensor?

    Could be a small tube they use to purge/gas fill the sensor, then cap it off. Try unsoldering the cap like end piece.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    Best sealant/glue for ducting

    If it is a close fitting joint you might be able to use ABS pipe glue. I have used that on ABS ducting, and it worked great. For larger gaps I have used JB weld Plastic Bonder Structural Adhesive, and Permatex Plastic Welder. If you want a dual syringe with a gun and mixing nozzle, you can get...

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    Looking at the weight difference, makes me wonder if they are all nylon belted, and not steel belted. I could not find that info in the description, but I did come across this statement in their description " The intended purpose of Mud Terrain tire types is off-road use. They are not designed...

    New guy with a slant back question

    Removing oil from old shocks

    I have not disassembled one of my humvee shocks, but have cut open other ones. Caution, the shocks are presurized with nitrogen. Drilling a big hole too fast will get you sprayed with oil (think of it like drilling a hole into a can of spray paint). I would drill a small (1-2mm) hole on the far...

    M997A2 is now in my fleet

    I was not thinking that Meltons were bad. More along the lines of something happened to the original engine, to be replaced, and the replacement engine is now also missing parts. Btw, congratulations on getting an ambulance. I have been looking at them as well, just no room for one right now.

    M997A2 is now in my fleet

    Have you tried turning over the engine with a breaker bar and socket on the crankshaft nut? I do that on any "unknown" equipment I get. The fact that it shows low milage, but has a Melton rebuilt engine make me wonder what happened?

    Advice for re-seal of differential output shafts

    Be careful when driving in the new seal. I wound up knocking the seal backing spring off the seal. I must have tapped it too hard. I just saw the spring hanging on the output shaft. Talk about a pain, trying to get that spring back around the back of the seal, while the seal is installed. I...
