    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    Single phase jenny's are the easiest way to go, if he needs more than the 10kw to start up something, then the 15 would be 'the way to go' due to necessity. I have only found a couple older AC units that are not compatible with 208, but they were in the scrap metal. Even our new Kenmore dryer is...

    Winter Storm Preps

    How did you come up with this ratio of K1 to diesel? Sounds like a good ratio to me, esp since k1 is $7/gal down here. Best thing I know of to thin diesel though.

    I had a buddy build a couple for his h140’s, if someone can get dimensions to see if they are the same part that would be very helpful

    Block Heating ... How long?

    On my smaller diesels, duramax, about an hour is good. On my big truck, single turbo Cat, all night. I tried 1 hour on the big motor, then 2 hours and it would still take 30 minutes idle and 2 miles to warm the heater up at 15-25*F. All night plugged in, 30 minutes idle, and it was warm. I have...

    MEP-804A cranks but no start, suspect solenoid on side of injection pump

    item 2 is the fuel cut off/throttle control. there is a bolt and a funny spring that holds that in the IP. Also that has its own oil, so if you take off that plate, make sure to refill the oil. If I remember that is in the instructions for IP replacement. If you dont have to dinker with...

    Fixing the Model H82/83 Engineered Air Systems Heaters

    For maximum heat, all the way up was not it for mine. I run mine 1 tick mark down from the last numbers. The unit is noisey without the flame screens and side door removed. Hour meter only functions in the heat position if connected, if hour meter doesnt function in heat mode, check the...

    Buying a HEMTT across the country

    So the way I do it, I plan/budget to have the truck shipped, then go get it and drive it home myself. If it breaks down, you call a trucking company, have them load up and take it the rest of the way, then you get on a train/plane and go home. If/when you make it home, then you saved yourself...

    I had time to install the ‘new’ k8 on a spare heater, it worked as designed so i am at a loss why it didn’t work for yours unless there are other problems. Verify that the spade connectors are not touching, i had issues with them wanting to twist and touch while tightening.

    I don’t know of any reason the heat side would cause a breaker to trip. The ignitor runs in fan, fuel pump runs in fan, only difference on heat is valve opens for fuel.
