    #3 The smoker, MEP 005A

    Not too concerned about a bit of oil leaking, now when it gets to the point of coming out faster than going in, its time to fix it. Working on getting overspeed switch and associated parts, but will just run it bypassed for now, until I can source parts. The set shows 3300 hours. I do not...

    #3 The smoker, MEP 005A

    Well while I was waiting on parts for #2, I thought I would just tinker with #3 (mep 005A on a ROWPU, thanks 98G) and see if I could unstick a motor that wouldnt turn with a very long breaker bar. Well since it was a no go on turning over, I opened the valve cover and found 2 valves stuck, so...

    #2 MEP 805B oh the joys

    Well, its only been on the load tester at 33Kw load for over an hour, and all is well. I guess all my cussing and discussing paid off, it runs just as it is designed. Water temp never exceeded 170*F, HZ maintained 60.0 except under max shock load of 33kw, then it only drooped to 59.7HZ for a...

    Identify This HMMWV's Duty?

    If i remeber correctly, there should have been 2 'gps' units, 1 unit would have 'fit' between the seat pockets, another thing would have been it should have had 100 or 200 amp alternator.

    Had a bit of delay of game today, had to call some coyotes. Turned every skrew all the way up, nothing happened. So I go to the IP and loosed the stop skrew, had like 65.5HZ, and then skrewed down the trim and the HZ came down and the actuator light on the box came on. All of my rhostats...

    Identify This HMMWV's Duty?

    My guess is survey, there should have also been some holes in the bed behind the 2 seater bulkhead where the big azz gps would have been mounted.

    Got #2 skidded on a trailer today. Tried guyfang's procedure but could only get her to get unstable by turning trim down, it would never go past 60 hz but it would go down. I am thinking i am limited on going up any more by the set skrews on the ip. I will set up the load tester tomorrow and...

    Guyfang, actuator looks the same as the IP, doesnt appear to be changed. No faults on CIM, army book shows it as 5-43. I have been a bit distracted today, been working on getting a 'trailer' to put #2 on so i can move it to get load tested. I started off with a 2 axle 400hz load tester and...

    Speed trim was about 70, adjusted it up, and no dice, still had 52 hz. Stepped over to the IP, it was WOT against the adj. skrew, so I let the skrew out a bit, and the HZ came up. Adjusted the speed trim down and the motor went to surging just a bit, so I adjusted it back to 70 and made all my...

    I think the engine is running slow, hz reads 52. All if the plugs and sockets looked good, had to get a magnifer out to see in the sockets.

    Fault reset clears the over voltage, then you just adj volts down and stays gone. The switch in the box is on 60/400 hz, i dont have a meter fancy enough to measure hertz but i do have an electrician friend that does have one. I thought the motor sounded like it was running slow, the throttle...

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    I agree 110% that the site reps are so much easier to get along with, they understand that life happens, especially when you are dealing with shippers or having to travel 100's of miles to get to the nearest GL or GP. If I may ask, what was the storage fee for 1 day? If i remember correctly, if...

    #2 has returned to the land of the living, and with the modified starting sequence that baxter suggested, it now makes power, but hertz is off. If i hold the start sw, it always gives me an overvoltage fault, but if i let it start and come up to speed then hit the starter again it doesnt give...

I see why everything was loose on this backplane, i think technicians were hunting...

    I removed the cubical so that i could clean up the threads on the cannon plugs. I see where it would be a pita, there is a support structure right in the way when trying to remove those cannon plugs. I didnt have any issues with the bolts coming loose, it appeared that the unit had either...

    Yeah after working on it all day, i have to agree that someone was swapping parts. I think this one is going to be more electric trobleshooting than the first one
