    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    in the parts manual the pre 196900 serial number shows bracket to exhaust stud. Post 196900 appears it should be the longer one

    yes, 35 amp is perfect.

    CIVI Gen. thoughts.

    As others said, you can step up to the next breaker size. However, unless there is some reason you need every single watt of power continuously, using a 30 amp breaker should work just fine. Pretty much all breakers are the thermo trip type, which means they have to heat up before they will...

    Fan Clutch hose

    bleeding isn't really necessary; it's a dead end system, and as the clutch engages and disengages the air should work it's way out over time.

    Does that ever really work with her?

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    where does the rear support bracket go on the one with the new style setup? Is it a long one down to the block or short one to the exhaust stud?

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    at least she had 2 to choose from. Would kind of suck if there was only one and she claimed it.

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    yeah, I found the part number for the longer bracket in the ECV parts manual (12460273), going to order that instead of the one on there. I figure even if the longer one doesn't work for some reason, I can use a torch to twist the existing one into shape so it's more flat (out of the truck; I...

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    I see a spacer in the parts breakdown image that looks pretty big, but no part number for it. Also not seeing how/where it would fit on here, as there is no free space at all between the mounting tabs and the bracket spacer. My UOC os NNN. Later in the parts manual there is a spacer/washer...

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Not seeing any cracks or anything. That's the part number for the rear bracket that is already on my truck. I think mine is slightly twisted as it's holding the remains of the stud at a slight angle, so I'll order a replacement just to be sure.

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    When I first got the truck(m1123, 200 amp generator) the stud on the exhaust that holds the rear generator bracket was sheared, and a couple of the front bolts were loose. It started making noise again, so I checked, and the exhaust stud is sheared again, and at least one of the front bracket...

    Brake calipers and pads

    your truck is an early one, so it will be the 10" and 10k rated stuff. You can get the parts straight from AM General, but they're marked at around $550 each for the calipers. For $50 each you can buy the rebuild kits and do the rebuild yourself. Not all that complicated if you are...

    Mep 016B Fuel issue(Hurricane Ida help)

    For the circuit box, unless it is an interlock that only allows one either the main breaker, or the generator feed breaker to be closed, not both. Without some sort of a physical lock of some type that only allows either the gen or the utility to be connected at the time it isn't legal. Just...

    Mep 016B Fuel issue(Hurricane Ida help)

    I came up with another reason why using a 3k on 240 wired to the house might be a bad idea. Load balancing. In 120V only mode, you have 3kw of power through that one circuit. In 120/240 mode, that 120V power is now separated into 2 1500 watt circuits. So to use my example above with hair dryer...

    Mep 016B Fuel issue(Hurricane Ida help)

    Get either a generator interlock kit installed, or a sub panel for generator use. What others posted, saying that you can kill linemen if wired incorrectly, is 100% true. Linemen HAVE been killed by homeowners incorrectly wiring in generators. Backfeeding it into the house through a dryer...

    How to identify if m998 was rebuilt buy gov

    I have no idea why it's like that. Maybe they had different sets of serial numbers set aside for different series of trucks, or just had a bunch set aside for upfitting of some type that didn't get taken care of until later, so the serial number and delivery dates are out of order compared to...
